Meredith told a boy that she thought we'd hit it off, and then Meredith and I were hanging out the next day, and we ran into the same boy, which was actually a coincidence. She had considered calling him earlier and inviting him to come hang out with us, but she never got around to it. He independently decided to go shopping for music, and was inadvertently roped into our lunch, shopping, and drinking escapade.
Discretely, while he was in the bathroom, Meredith told me about him. I talked to him for a while about a variety of subjects, and he seemed very nice. A little geeky, but nice. Since Meredith was so sure that we were a possible fit, and since the prospect of a date after a zillion years of not dating sounded attractive, when he asked me for my number, I gave it to him.
So, Mike called me today, the very next day after asking me for my number, and we have some sort of non-specific dining outing planned for tomorrow after we both get off work.
I'm not sure how this is going to work, since I think I'm more attracted to the idea of a date, than the actual other member of the date, but we'll have to see. Maybe that sounds a little mercenary, but it's honest.
What's in your head?
