ok, so it hasnt been seven days, but i only make rules so i can break them. lets backtrack here a bit to when
nefaria and
LeReve were here. along with
NadzofSteel and his lady, we went to the diner after a long hard night of drinking. we were near the entrance, eating our food, when three cute guys were waiting to be seated. me being drunk and terribly shy, i told them not to wait and just to pull up the spare table next to us and join us for food. and so they did. this british guy sat next to me and i really enjoyed talking to him. his friends left and he stayed. after a while, i went to take my friend outside who wasnt feeling well. he asked me how long i would be out there. i said as long as it takes for him to finish his food. so my friend and i went outside and i came up with this great idea to get beer and chips to invite my new friend back to hang out. so, we went across the street and got beer and chips, and when i got out,
nefaria and
NadzofSteel told me he didnt know where i was so he left. they pointed to the cab and when i turned, the light turned green and he was gone.
NadzofSteel said i looked like someone killed my puppy. i was so sad. i think i walked around for 3 days saying "i just went to get some beer."
so, i dont know why i even thought of it, but i wrote a missed connection on craigslist. its not like i had anything to lose at that point. it said:
Paul - the London boy on the upper east side - w4m
i made you and your two friends join us at our table at 7A.
i just went outside to get my sick friend some air. i went to the market across the street to get some beer and chips so we could all go back to my place and hang out a bit longer. i didnt hear the phone when they tried to call me and as i got out, you were in the cab and the light just turned green. i really wanted to see you again. im just hoping this finds you.
a week later, i get an email. his friend read it and thought it might be him, so she sent it to him. it was him. weve been talking on email everyday and had our first date last friday night. we had brunch the next day. we went out tonight and have plans again for friday night.
i now feel safe saying, im crazy about this guy. and i feel safe saying he feels the same way.
i'm happy. i'm really really happy.
he stopped sneezing. the other day he sneezed a lot. when he was born i was too much of a cheap ass to get him shots. anyway, hes ok. hes tough.
congrats on the love connection.
