Just got back in from a full day of hanging out with Guy!
We tried to get real summery today because of the great weather, so after we bought our new comics we went to the beach and had a picnic! 4 kinds of cheese…yum.
And then we went back to his place and watched Being Elmo…if you haven’t seen it…see it! It’s about Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo, and how he grew up wanting desperately to become a puppeteer for Jim Henson, and then succeeded! It’s beautiful.
Then we scoured the internet for random amazingness and talked. I told him about how Colin didn’t make any flirty moves on our date the other night. I’ve been driving myself crazy wondering whether he likes me, or if he just wants to be friends. Although I sincerely hope it’s the former…I have to wonder, usually I have pretty good intuition about these things. But Guy brought up another very interesting point…could Colin be gay? Maybe he was never interested in me at all!
From this vantage point, Colin sounds … well, polite. Perfect gentleman. There’s always the possibility that he’s not being flirty because he was raised to believe that such behaviour would be … well, crass / sexist / not “in form,” so to speak.
You may also have to consider that your behaviour with his friend may have put his own guard up.
Perhaps, for your next date, you might want to think about setting up a situation where he’s not distracted by a movie or a show, where he has little choice but to try and engage you in conversation. Naturally this rules out Fan Expo, but a walk around the Beaches district on a sunny day might work. (Or a wine bar, a wine bar’s good.)
I’ll suggest that for tomorrow night as he just invited me out again! (whoop! victory dance!) Thanks for the tip!
