Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

I just can't focus at work today...and it's only Thursday. You see, I met someone.  He's smart...I mean smart as a whip smart. Good High School education in a school run by Jesuit priests....really some of the best HS education offered. Then degreed all the way up to his PhD. But not just that, well read and common sense smart. I so dig smart

He can carry on a conversation. You see smart does not always equal good conversationalist. But he is capable of it. I find him so absolutely interesting and the questions he asks interesting as well. I really want to know everything about him.

He is kind and considerate. I hate people who don't consider others - like the servers at the restaurant. He understood my concerns for them and was just as considerate. That means he is like that for all people. His consideration shows me that he is understanding and lacks arrogance. Arrogance is such a turn off!

He seems honest. I just have that feel about him and some of the things he told me. A person who isn't honest wouldn't say that. Dishonesty/hiding stuff is a deal breaker for me - as I find trusting someone to be so very difficult.

He is the same age as I am. This HUGE for me. I want someone +/- 5 years. I don't want someone I'll have to take care of later. Or someone who wants me to mommy them now. I want an equal!

He is cute. His face is cute. His body is nice - not ripped or extremely built. But for a man the same age as I, he is in good shape. He cares for his body. Therefore, I think the physical aspects of a relationship with him would be fabulous.

Then, there are the host of other things that make us compatible...hiking, reading, socializing (a bit), similar life background, etc.

Seriously self, get over all this! Stop thinking! Stop! It's just a fucking date. Okay?! But perhaps, just perhaps....
