Remember the other day I went to dinner with some friends? Well, it went well, and I met a really nice guy there too (our mutual friend had wanted us to meet at the party).
We got talking, and were for most of the evening sitting next and just talking to each other. Who can blame us when the rest of the room were six other girls/ladies? We were 'singled' out...hopefully that word has a double meaning here.
He was a really interesting person, we seem to have similar interests and even did similar studies as well. And of course in the back of my mind I was thinking/asking the inevitable': could he be? I looked at his 'gestures' and movements closely, and some obsevations matched some stereotypes: sometimes his wrist would hang loosely, he had an immaticulate dress style (nicely-ironed shirt and pants), he took care of his face and body well, his laughter had a high pitch...
OK, it's not rocket science confirmations, mere indications. And usually I don't buy into the 'gay stereotype' mumble-jumble. Then as the evening drew to a close, he drove me home, and sort of suggested we go on an outing today.
Of course I was elated for two days, tumbling in bed, imagining the possibilities, dreaming, fantasizing, and all the other things I do best... until this morning. Got an SMS from him saying he's:
"Sorry, but impossible to meet today. Have fever, headache...and throwing up."
I was disappointed, and tried not to think too much of it. It could happen to anyone, and besides he was sniffing a bit at dinner that day too. But then, the more I tried not to think of it, the more I did think of it. What if it was just an excuse? Last time I was here in Strasbourg, he also blew off a plan to go out together, and he did it again. I don't want to be too demanding, especially from someone I just met, and to be honest barely knew...but it seems too conincidental.
Anyways, just very disappointed the whole day, and wondering when or whether we would meet again.
