So...
I had a coffee date with French Guy tonight. We went to a not so local coffee shop and drank warm beverages together. He is a good looking guy who, despite saying he's shy, talked my ear off and is probably one of the few people in the world who talks more than I do.
Body language was stand-offish. He didn't really smile when I walked in, although seemed to recognize me immediately. He didn't put his hands on table and tended to look over my right shoulder more than at me. That's not a really good sign. He did, however, talk for 2 and a quarter hours straight. When he decided enough was enough, he drummed the table with his index fingers and said, "and that's that." Then indicated it was time to go. He asked if he could see my car and proceeded to talk outside my car for another 15 min. When it was REALLY time to go, he threw in the "I'll call you sometime" (not good) and then pulled the one arm hug (also not good).
I suppose if he doesn't call, I won't be surprised. If he does call, I'm intrigued enough to see him again. He's a fairly serious Catholic and has no qualms about it. His French accent is less pronounced in person than on the phone, but says all the french street names with a flourish. He is about a head taller than me and has nice eyes and teeth and seems to have good oral hygiene!
I tried to find the list of "build me a man" in an entry from long ago, but after an hour gave up looking for it. The comparison will have to wait for a day.
