Remember the poker boy Trevor? After last Wednesday, I decided that I really did like him, and a lot. Reasons:
-He's very intelligent. He's working on a degree in history and hopes to get into Yale to get his PhD and become a professor. He also already has a business degree.
-He's extremely well traveled. He has lived in China, Australia and has gone all over the US. This summer, he's going to France to enroll in an extensive language learning program.
-He's very cute. Although not my "type," his eyes are to die for and when he looks at you, it's like he's trying to figure something out.
-He's older. He's 29, almost 30.
On Wednesday, I was being completely stupid and really throwing out requests for boys to accompany me to various plans I had made. None of them bit. I was very sad. At the end of the evening, Trevor came up to me and told me that if he didn't already have to work that I he would take me to said events.
The next day, I found out that he wasn't even going to come to poker that night, but specifically asked if I were going to be there. Because I was going to be there, he came.
That started this whirlwind of "what should I do's," and "does he really like me's."
So last night I either made a very big mistake or the best thing I could have done ever. He works as a cook at Pizza Hut one night a week (Friday's; not very glamourous, I know). My friends decided it was a good idea to go to Pizza Hut last night to "bump" into him. I was a fucking nervous wreck. I was terrified. I asked the waitress to tell him I said hi and eventually he came out to talk to me. Oh, my, God. Usually he's very very laid back and smooth. Last night, he looked like he was on crack. I thought I was nervous! We talked for a little bit, well actually he talked to me whilst fidgeting the entire time. It was very cute.
After a lot of pushing, I decided it was time to give him my number. See, this wouldn't be a big deal if he wasn't in front of all of his co-workers. He said he'd call me, and I said he should call before I go to Hawaii (which is on Wednesday) and he said he would. Good, yes. However, he was just a tad embarassed.
What I'm freaking out about now is whether it was a. stupid to give him my number at his work place or b. a brilliant idea to make the first move and not have friends involved with setting us up.
Any advice, comments? Please help. And right before Valentine's Day.

Yay for you! I am so proud. I think that was a great thing to do. I bet he calls you today.

Hi Delilah, it's been awhile. I'm still in Chicago, but should probably be back in Missoula around next Friday. I was going to fly, but after paying over $1,000 to mail stuff back here (and that's leaving all my furniture, tv, computer monitor, etc...), I decided to go the cheap route and take the train to Whitefish and have friends pick me up there.
Kind of excited to get back and see the old crew, but I'm not looking forward to working in Missoula. A few friends sent me emails saying that the downtown was "abuzz" about my return which made me feel kind of good in a weird ego-stroke sort of way 
Where do you play poker? I love live poker and have played quite a bit in Missoula during periods in the past.

I don't think you were stupid at all. It sounds like he really likes you.
Give him a couple of days to call, though. A lot of boys I know wait two days so they "don't seem too eager". It drives girls crazy, but it's just how they are.

aww, I'm glad my set could make you smile. hehe.
I think it's pretty awesome that you made the first move. That shows him you're really into him. However, thats how I feel, I have no idea if he feels the same way, but I would suspect he does, otherwise he's not as smart as he seems to be. 
Just wait it out and if he calls you, then you're in good shape. Here's hoping he does.

Speaking as an "OLD Guy" I think you did good , if he has any brains he'll call before you leave, just remember he may not be able to, so if he doesn't don't sweat it because if he has any brains he'll definitely be into a smart HOT chick like you
