J: Does he like me? Will he call? When do I get to see him again?

Mr. September is amazing.

Yesterday, we had a really great day on the lake and afterwards went back to his place for pizza and (part of) a movie.

The “part of” was due to pure exhaustion. We both started off the day a bit sleepy from being out so late together the night before. Then, we were in the sun & water for hours, getting more and more burnt & dehydrated. By the time we got back to his place, there wasn’t a lot of hope for a full movie. But we gave it a valiant shot.

I was the one to finally call the night but at his front door, his kisses drew me back to the couch where we had a nice little extended make out session before I again dragged myself out the door.
Yum.

I don’t know if I can express how much I like this guy. I like all of the stuff that I’ve mentioned here already. But my new ”like” is that he notices the little things...and compliments them. His compliments alone are amazing…very specific & genuine. He must have been taught well by his mom & sister…or maybe it’s something good that came from his ex-wife? Who knows, who cares where it comes from! I just really appreciate it!

We also have this amazing chemistry. After our first kisses on Friday at one point he said “Well, that answers THAT question”. But I was so umm…distracted…(yeah, we’ll say ‘distracted’) at the time that I didn’t want to stop to ask him specifically what he meant. But, since then, I’ve spent a lot of time dissecting that comment because in my mind it could have meant several things. Last night, I asked exactly what he had meant. His response: “Sexual chemistry…we have it”.

Ummmm…yep. Absolutely! My thoughts exactly!

I can’t seem to get enough of this guy. It’s been a looooong, long time since I’ve been kissed so skillfully…and so thoroughly.

But when will I see him again?

This weekend was his child’s weekend with Mom so it worked out perfect for us. But today I’m getting ready for next week’s trip to New York for work and will be gone until Thursday night. He leaves on Friday for a trip to California and will be gone until the next weekend. And then when he gets back I’m sure that he’ll want to spend time with his kid. (From what I’ve seen so far, he seems to be a really great Dad.) Hopefully we’ll stay in touch. Hopefully we’ll be able to find some time to spend together somewhere in the midst of the craziness. Hopefully we can grow this relationship even further.

He knows that for me today is all about getting ready for my trip, spending some time with the girls and getting in a couple of dance classes. I really don’t think that he’s the kind of guy who would step on my plans or ask me to change them around for him. But today, I wish that he was. I want to spend more time with him…on a boat, on a plane, in a bookstore, watching a movie, grocery shopping, in a restaurant, on a hike…anywhere. Even with the risk of not getting to check everything off my to-do list.

But he doesn’t know that. And it’s probably better that way. There still needs to be a little mystery… a little delicious anticipation…a little flirty unavailability. There still needs to be a bit of a chase.

So for today, I’ll bask in my memories, knowing that if he asks, I’d be fully willing to drop my plans and hang out with him.

Even if it’s completely anti-“The Rules” and opposite of what I was saying just a couple of sentences ago.

I like this guy.

I want more of him.

Now, please!
