If Men are only after one thing, then women are stalkers!
There that's what I've learnt so far from the guys (and some female friends) I've met this year.
Crazy isn't it. If only the women who wanted to check up on the guys they've met twice could meet those guys that only want one thing the universe of dating might be a level playing field again.
See what I mean? Because if "that" type of guy met that "type" of girl then I'd say they both deserve the karma that the other would serve up to them!
Okay so I'm being a bit silly, but think about that for a moment before you send me hate emails.
Oh and all company excluded from the above statement.
..... not convinced? ....
Righty-o moving along then.
So today I met Mr ST, it was a coffee date, the time, date, and venue had been agreed upon. I'd suggested a coffee shop that Kaybee and I often frequented.
The skies were grey and there was a slight drizzle in the cool crisp morning air, and I was running late! Well I wouldn't have been if the "L" learner driver in front of me didn't stall their car at two consecutive green lights! I'd left home with only minutes to spare, so this further delay and the fact that there were no car parks saw me end up being 10 minutes late!
Fortunatley I knew what Mr ST looked like, so I was able to chase him up the street! You see normally I would've rung him to say "Hey I'm going to be 10 minutes late," BUT today for some reason I'd left my mobile phone next to my bed ... so I couldn't call him, hence chasing him up the street.
As I drove past the coffee shop for the second time looking for a park I noticed him heading in the other direction with his mobile phone to his ear.
Fortunately he didn't get too far away before I heralded him and apologised profusely. He was slightly miffed at my tardiness and mentioned that he thought I'd stood him up as the shop number I'd texted to him didn't exist. He was about to go home after calling me 3 times within that 10 minutes.
Anyway back on track we headed back to the coffee shop laughing at my error in judgement and him not reading my text message correctly!
What can I say, NICE guy, we talked enthusiastically, discussing books, his travels, "drugs", his occupation (he worked for 2 years in Thailand as an English Teacher and intended to go back soon), a clinical trial he is currently working on which is paying him a very very tidy sum of money for less than a months duration.
Whilst we were discussing books he offered twice to lend me the ones he had that did in fact sound very interesting.
We got along well, in my opinion. He had great eyes and I was impressed that he was happy to maintain eye contact whilst we were talking - after all eyes are the windows to the soul! Also I think that it is just respect to look someone in the eye - NOT STARE at them you understand... but we both seemed to maintain it as a friendly gesture.
Now the thing with Mr ST is he stated on his profile that he was after FRIENDS .. and I'd say mission accomplished because we got along well, and I'd definitely catch up with him again. I enjoyed our chat, I enjoyed the topic, OH and he asked me what blogging was.. funny!
But I dont think we'd date .. and I say that from a mutual perspective.
He was a little shorter than he described, but I'm not saying that as a negative - but I have to comment that I do LOVE wearing high heeled shoes and boots, which I wouldn't be able to if he was my partner - so it's probably a good thing that we are clear on that - at least I think we are clear about.
So if I was to describe this shop - I'd say it had inviting windows, color and life, it boasted interesting and intelligent stories shared and I'm guessing it does have many compelling stories in it's store room yet to be shared, a little short in stature but an appealing personality about it. Oh he was younger than me by 11 years but hey there is no limit on friendships are there??
But definitely a couple of stars up on the last shop I visited with 
Oh and Mr Forgetful became Mr Persistent and I'm going to a movie with him tomorrow night
