I went out today. With someone, for a change. Usually I spend my Saturdays, my only day off, running errands and doing chores, so it seems I have no time for a social life. But this person I had lunch (and dinner) with, I don’t know how it happened, really. It was an ad, one of those personal ads that you really shouldn’t answer, mixed in with all the other typical ads, and I felt compelled to reply. So out of character for me.

Since I answered his ad, we’ve been emailing back and forth - a lot. We’ve been text messaging each other - a lot. (I really have to add that to my cell phone contract to keep the costs under control.) This all started Thursday. Just 2 days ago. Today, we met for lunch. After 2 days of intense emails, text messages and IM conversations, we met for the first time.

I’m not sure what I expected. I read his blog. It reads a lot like my journals when I can’t sort shit out in my head, except of course written from a guy’s point of view. Conversation today was just so NORMAL. Nothing wrong with that. He was so easy to talk to, even though our conversations weren’t as intense as the online. It wasn’t awkward, there were none of the weird silences at all, which over 5 hours is a pretty cool thing.

We’re chatting online as I type this. We’re both multitasking, me blogging, chatting, listening to music, and doing a little web surfing on the side. I think he’s chatting, working, and surfing in addition to talking to me. Still, other distractions aside, they aren’t taking away from the conversation at all.

I want to keep getting to know him.
