Things what make me go hmm, part 2894

[mishaday]

Hm. I seem to have a date Saturday night.

I'm not in a good headspace for starting a relationship, and I told him as much, but he seems to find me fascinating, (which immediately speaks to his good taste,) and so I'm meeting him for dinner Saturday night.

He's driving up from Portland for dinner with me. Huh.

We talked a bit on the phone tonight, and he waxed passionate about Disney and Disneyland, and asked me what I was passionate about, which...

"Um, books and reading and writing..." Um. Slash? I'm passionate about things I don't want to explain to someone I haven't met yet?

So. We'll see how it goes.

*snicker* I did that. that 'procrastination' post back in November and what have you -- and had left it public. The then-soon-to-be-S.O. found the post, read it, and then went and dug up the stories -- and disappeared.

Not without telling me ahead of time, mind. He was driving across Canada with his sister and wasn't going to have email access.

Which gave me 2 weeks to fret.

I was quite good at fretting for those two weeks.

It turned out okay.

*thoughful* maybe it will this time, too.

Hey, do you want to be with anyone who doesn't approve of slash? :-J

Good luck, and ambivalence is OK.

{{hugs}} If he likes you enough, he'll find out about you -- and keep to the date. If he runs away, he wasn't worth it. (The good ones -- the guys you keep -- feed you plot bunnies. Not that I'd know anything about that, of course.)

What you can say safely, IMO, is that you're a huge fan of certain TV shows. That can lead to discussions about what he watches. If he was a huge fan of "Baywatch", I'd probably suspect he was more interested in eyecandy than if he'd said he liked "CSI."

Good luck!

Eh - from pictures he's ragingly *not* my type, and he's infodumped all over me about himself. Enough that I know I can't be what he wants. *shrug* I'll get dinner out of it at least.

Not only no - hell no. :) I also didn't want to explain right then.

At least not without visual aids ;)

Oh, I got into the fannish thing, but couldn't be arsed to explain slash. From pictures, he's gonna have to work hard to make it up to sparkage level even, and beyond that...

Well, he was infodumping all over me, and what he wants and needs, and while I can appreciate enthusiasm for Disney? No way am I gonna go to Disneyland umpteen times a year. I can't be what he wants and I'm pretty sure he's not what I want or need.

Much with the 'eh'.
