In the process

Got back from my date with Country Boy. First, YUMMM!Hubba Hubba!
Second, he IS cheap. Huge red flag for me. But he paid for the date and left $4 on 25 tab so not too cheap I guess. But here are some tidbits:

-called me 5 minutes before 7 to let me know he was going to be late. That was good! He was working and time slipped by. No problemo for me.

-He arrived in shorts and a sweatshirt. WTF? I was wearing my usual: jeans and a cute blouse, but was definitely more dressed up than him. He said that he dresses the way that he is...he always wears shorts because it gets hot driving his truck.

-We talked 4 hours and he barely asked about me. The conversation wasn't about HIM per se but if there was a lull, I picked it up OR he started talking about something he did.

-He was a school board member and thinks the union is evil and that teachers are paid good enough. I don't disagree (except about the union). But when I asked him about his reasoning, he said that it had to do with all of the vacation time we get. He also seemed to think plenty of teachers just show up and leave early. What??? I told him how I loved my job but it is extremely difficult and that most of the teachers in my building are working long hours and tried to explain the demands we have.

-He seems to work, run, and spend time with his kids. He sounds like a devoted dad! I wondered if he had any time for dating. He has dated 2 other women since his divorce and both were teachers.

-I don't know what common interests we share. Honestly!

I really wanted to curl up with him on the couch or in bed.

So...if he asks me out again, I think I might go so I can make out with him at least, and then he may realize we dont have much in common...oh other than both of our spouses cheated on us. Except that his wife might have wanted to reconcile but he couldn't do it. It was hard to tell...he said they went to counseling but she was still with the guy and I could tell he was very guarded about the whole thing. The one time he shut up, so to speak, so I didn't pry! I UNDERSTAND.

Who knows if he liked me!
