Sunday's Pleasure

The only plans I had on Sunday was to stop over the Peruvian Gentleman's (PG) house and help him to get decorating ideas and let him buy me dinner to make up for forgetting to pay me from a happy hour we did. But, BFF called and wanted to go hiking. It was a gorgeous day and I so rarely get time with her that, more than anything else, that is what I wanted to do. I had texted PG earlier and two hours later, I hadn't heard back from him. I was starting to believe I was getting the "blow off". So I decided to head out and meet my BFF. On the way PG called and let me know that he had left his phone in his car...oopsie. I do that all the time! So I told him I had thought something came up and decided to go hiking and could we push it out until later. He said yes. So I went hiking, guilt free. We got there kinda late and I wasn't certain of the trails, so we didn't get to hike as long as I would have liked. But, we did get to chat and hike and the world always seems better when I get to be with my BFF and get to hike. Both together is Nirvana.

I called PG when I got back home and headed down to visit him. He had shrimp cocktail waiting and poured us some wine. We spent a few hours talking and then finally went for dinner. When we got back, I expolored the house with him and gave him a few decorating ideas. Then, we played ping pong. It was fun. Things I noticed about him.

He isn't pretentious.
He is quite the clutter bug.
He won't tell me his age but I figure it's about 10-15 years more than I am - even though he doesn't look it.
He has a good heart.
He likes to talk to people, think about things and experience life.
He likes to "figure people out"
He's been divorced 2x but doesn't see it as a curse. He says he has been given a chance to experience more people than someone who's been married for 30 years. I really liked the way he looked at that.
He absolutely adores his son and is a fabulous father.
He is kind and considerate of others.
He is a complete gentleman.

Actually, he is the type of man I could fall madly in love with. I'm pretty sure he isn't interested in that option. He seems only to be interested in me as a friend. And, I'm okay with that because I like to be around him. He is very interesting and quite refreshing. I can handle that kind of relationship. And, I think I'm grown up enough to handle it. If he found me as interesting, I think we could have loads of fun together.
