i feel like such a schmuck!!
A nice sounding guy IM'ed me yesterday, asking for a good sushi restaurant in my town, b/c he is coming here on business (my yahoo public profile sez where I live & has the keyword sushi in it). He was very polite, I helped him with restaurant info, & we ended up chatting yesterday, twice. Then we've been chatting off & on this afternoon, & I had agreed to meet him for dinner tomorrow--he had hinted around about it, & finally I said, "So, when's dinner?" Very nice sounding guy, good conversationalist, we're both NPR junkies, his profile picture looks pretty normal, etc. All the chatting has been very above-board, nothing suggestive, which I have appreciated. Then, a few minutes ago I asked who cares for his dog when he's out of town, & he said HIS WIFE. I said, is your wife "down" with our having dinner together? And he said YES. Something like, "We have an open relationship," and "We're very honest & respectful."
I am totally weirded out. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!
I told him I think it's a little weird to say things like "I have no life," talk about a couple hobbies & interests, & neglect to mention that you're married. Also, I said that if I were married and knew that my spouse was chatting with hot librarians on the web w/o mentioning me, it would definitely bother me.
Sheesh!
At the heart of it all, of course, I am %$#@! disappointed! I'm lonely! I've been enjoying our chats! Perhaps I've been reading a little more flirtation into things than was actually there (like I said, all conversation has been squeaky clean--maybe slightly flirtatious, but never suggestive). But still! Life is so not fair!!!
I'm going to go work out my frustrations on the elliptical machine! Thanks goddess I have a counseling session tonight. This is bringing up all kinds of feelings for me!!
GRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so, is he a bigger jerk than i am a schmuck????
