Just sitting here at my desk an hour ago and this email came in: looking forward to dinner tomorrow. what time is dinner and would you like to come by early?
My response: sure, sounds good...dinner is for 7, i could come over early. i’ll be in touch
I am playing it as cool as possible. I know she is scared and skittish...I'm just her best friend.
So I'm sitting here at my laptop, enjoying my favourite music and a fresh cup of coffee, looking out the window at my incredible view (20th floor, waterfront)....I am grateful that, despite all of this, I really do have a great life.
*DING* goes my MSN Messenger...it's W's birthday today so I wished her happy BD, she said thanks. She said her girlfriend is taking her out for brunch, so she'll be out for a while.
W: "I'll be out for brunch with J, what are your plans for the day" MM: "I have a pretty full plate today, just busy" W: "What time should I be back home?" MM: "Don't know when I'll be done, so I'll let you know later" W: "OK" MM: "anyway, gotta run, say hi to J, talk to you later" W: "k bye for now"
Tonight I am taking her out for dinner, I have no expectations, I am simply spending time with a girlfriend that I am just getting to know.
Last night was a blast. Went out with a group of 10 people from work...beer, wings, lotsa laughs. Then I went home with one of the guys who is a musician like me, and we jammed in his apartment for about 2 hours. We are both multi-talented, so we took turns playing guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and singing.
These are the kinds of things I need to start doing more.
