Hope this doesn't jinx anything!

So, a few weeks ago, I go online to actually delete a profile on one of those dating sites. The whole insanity thing again and meeting the freaks was enough for me. For my day job, all I hear are dating horror stories. For some reason, i decide to open one of the messages. The guy knows Melrose. And a lot of the music venues/bands I help out. Ok, maybe it's worth a shot. We talked on the phone only a couple times, the last time was last week. He's lived here for 20 years and had never done First Friday, so we make a date for it. I'm pretty much thinking he'll forget. Whatever, not like I wouldn't be going anyway. So, he called the other night to see if we were still on. Huh??? Well, worth a shot. No endless texts, emails, blah blah blah. The few emails/phone calls were fun and I'm so glad I went tonight!
First of all, my very favorite people in the world are NY Jews. They tell it like it is! He's a Jew from Jersey, non-practicing anymore. Not a huge drinker. I don't really divulge I'm in recovery, but I did let him know the other night I don't drink. I promise I'll still be fun. He's cool with it.
So, his first test was to actually find out meet-up spot, the Bikini Lounge. All I tell him is the name and that it's on 15th Ave and Grand. He finds it. I'm so fucking terrified and shy, I call him from outside to come meet me there. I really don't know what he looks like anyway. Instant connection. Conversation starts and we didn't stop talking all night. Did the whole Grand Ave First Friday, stopping in at galleries. The fact that he wasn't overwhelmed by the people I knew is an automatic gagillion cool points. Really funny. Halfway through, he tells me about how he had sent my picture to a female friend of his in Prescott. Approval, maybe? She says to him that she saw me at the Rose and Crown, the night of my birthday party, and gives him the thumbs up. Small world.
Anyway, he even said halfway through the night that he'd like to see me again, and that he thinks I would probably give me a kiss at the end of the evening. I almost wished I had my recorder out, just so I could play that back at that very moment. I'm so used to guys who aren't upfront and honest like me. Games and shit.
Anyway, I don't want to jinx anything. He's really funny, cool, and has his shit together.
End.
