Strange Days Indeed...
So... I'm kinda talking to this guy I met over the net. Through email so far, but we've exchanged cell numbers and... I'm putting the call off.
Pluses=
Seen his pictures. Damn cute. I mean. DAMN. CUTE.
Is a HUGE fanboy. Into tons of stuff I'm into (Horror, Buffy, Firefly, Dr. Who...). And that is something I've been desperately looking for in a guy.
Is legit on that (had picture of himself with Betsy Palmer to prove it).
Minuses=
First of all. Met on the net. A little scary.
Second. I'm still in the "Oh my gosh! I think he's perfect for me! I can't believe this is happening!" stage. History has shown that that is a perfect cover for said someone approaching my back with a knife at warp speed.
Third. I don't date. I mean really. This is not a problem right now as he's on the other side of the country (no joke, opposite coast). But, this means anything like this, even just the chatting... I'm so out of my element here.
I really would like to put off the phone call for about a week and sort out my head on this. But, it's really hard for a guy to understand that at 31 (32 this month), there are 14 year olds who have buckets more romantic relationship experience than I do. How is he supposed to understand why I'm freaking out... when I don't really get it?
He says he thinks I'm beautiful. And that is so hard for me to hear without rolling my eyes and making a self-depreciating remark. Argh. Right now, I feel bloody emotionally retarded, cowardly, and wondering who the hell is this amazing woman he keeps writing about in his emails.
Sigh. I'm gonna go through with this phone call. Why do I feel like this can only end in tears?
