S.O. Strikes Again

THE SMOOTH OPERATOR STRIKES AGAIN!

My sister can't find her camera, so I can't take pictures of the new bouquet, but Mr. Show Biz sent me another round of flowers this afternoon!  These are slightly more autumnal (if that's a word)... reds, deep browns and oranges.  It's a very pretty bouquet- same size as the last.  Cute. This time he hand-wrote the card, and said I was the most beautiful girl in the world.  Of course I'm not even close, and of course he doesn't really believe that, but it's a sweet gesture all the same.  I called him to thank him.

We also spoke yesterday (he called) and we spoke for over an hour, but it felt like five minutes.  My sister makes fun of me because when he calls, I like to snuggle under my covers while we talk.  It's pillow talk, I suppose- in a literal sense- but we keep it G-rated.  But he doesn't know I'm huddled up in bed with my blankets over my head when I talk to him, of course!  It's just fun, and probably a little pathetic.

Anyway, yesterday he asked me why I never call him (I only call BACK).  I think my negligence is kind of hurting his feelings.  He said it really made his day when I called (that one time), and he'd love for us to speak more often.  Of course I didn't tell him it was against "The Rules" for me to do this!  I just said that when I called I felt like I was interrupting something, and since he's much busier than I am it was probably better that he call me.  He disagreed and said that was probably in my head, and he'd always make time for me, so long story short, I kind of got cornered into calling him more.  So I promised to call him more frequently, and he was happy.   But between you and me, I'll never call him more than he calls me.  That's just asking for trouble!  I believe most guys are quick to think you're needy if you start blowing up their phone too much. 

So that's that.

And Daddy Warbucks sent me an e-mail today, asking me out on another date!  Of course, I accepted.  The author of "Be Your Own Matchmaker" suggests you always have "a pair and a spare" when you're dating, but I'm pretty happy with just these two guys.  No spares.  At this point, I don't want to renew my Match account and go through all that again, all for a "just in case" guy.  Who wants a "just in case" guy?  Sounds boring!  And kinda mean, too- to waste his time and money like that!  I'll save my $40, thank you.  I had a life before I met these guys, and I'd like to continue having a life now.  Any more than two date nights a week means that I'll never see a friend again.  I've put a lot of stuff on hold to get through the dating trials, and I think two dates a week is more than enough!  It's the perfect number, really (yoga/gym two nights a week, sewing two nights a week+ 2 date nights + 1 friend night= 1 week).  See?
