Nod and smile :)

Just taking a look at a few of my posts and for goodness sakes, for a single Chi-girl I seem to have a lot of man-drama...too bad its all in my head.

So on to the new man in my life--my Monday date, we shall henceforth refer to him as Danny, since we met at "Danny's". So Danny and I went out on a very long date last night. He insisted on picking me up and then we headed to a dive bar (how very romantic) at 8:30. We started there and then ended up at a jazz bar where Al Capone used to frequent, and before you know it, I was walking into my apartment at 4:00am. Danny was well behaved, he opened car doors, paid, gave me many compliments, and did not put the moves on me at all, at least not until he dropped me off and asked for a goodnight kiss, which I granted. So overall it was a good date, we had a lot to talk about, I was very comfortable, and we enjoyed each others company. Now, before you get all excited I need to let you in on a small detail...he is totally insane.

Yep, he is insane, like really. I won't get into all of the details of his insanity because I don't want to scare you, but he is a very unique, interesting, opinionated kind of guy who firmly believes in certain truths such as the abstract: there is no truth, or feeling is not good, or belief is imagined, etc etc. I was having a hard time keeping up because although he is extremely articulate and intelligent, he talks a mile a minute (no he's not on drugs!) and his use of vocabulary requires either a dictionary or a nod and smile...I nodded and smiled, and occasionally rolled my eyes (which he found cute). So while I can probably say I don't agree with his philosophies on most things, I do appreciate that he at least thinks about things. And I do respect some of his other qualities like ambition, goals, direction, talent, and his taste in Me. And naturally, there are probably just as many qualities about him that I don't like...but again, I don't want to scare you :).

I think I generally have a pretty good read on people, and I think for the most part, he is probably a good guy with a lot of demons, and I think he kind of likes it that way. So as far as a future for Danny and I, it is unlikely.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, we're going out again on Saturday night!
