Really tired & sleepy after an evening out with my engineer. We had dinner at this Italian restaurant he likes, which we've been to before. It's quiet (actual conversation at a normal volume) and does not believe in background music (eureka!) with tables spaced discreetly apart, and not cheek to jowl. The staff is friendly but not intrusive and all appear to be long time employees, not "Hi, I'm Joe. I'll be your server this evening...unless I get a casting call."We were able to talk about lots of things, from silly to solemn, and also pick up from the Serious Conversation we had last night, where we discovered that we really do want a lot of the same things from our lives. Unlike some other guys I've dated, his responses were made without hesitation or hedging.
He paid for dinner, and then a cab home for me (!) from the West Village, after buying me some peach roses. He decided on peach after he asked me what color my living room walls were (holy cow -- I don't even take that into consideration!) There are enough so that I'll take half to the office.
It's not the money he's spending on me (!), but more the fact that he's taking care of me, in ways both little and big.
OK, just fell asleep at the keyboard, so more another day.
