Last Night's Blind Date

[purplerabbit]

So I have been very very restless lately. I decided to do something I haven't done in years. (Been a lot of that for me lately.) I have answered some personal ads. The internet makes that so much easier than it was last time I did. I have a had a couple of dates for drinks/coffee.

Let's face it, I am a geekophile. I just don't seem to have chemistry with "normal" people. I had some nice conversations since I do enjoy people. But they just don't turn me on. Doesn't matter how nice a photo they have or anything else. Non geeks just don't turn me on. No spark.

I met the guy at 9 PM in the city and was still home before midnight. Gave me a chance to work on my writing.

Of course, the date I had with a fellow geek earlier this week got me writing too -- but that was pure inspiration, lots of spark, actually more like a bonfire. I need more fire. Fire pretty, fire warm.

I'm the same way... although I have a broader definition of "geek," possibly. I've met not only computer geeks, but model railroad geeks, doughnut geeks, taffy geeks, math geeks, bird geeks, psych geeks, and so on. For me, it's someone who gets obsessed about one or more topics to the detriment of others, usually involving some kind of delayed social development which causes said development to generally be more conscious and intentional.

Oh, and sorry I didn't reply back to the ad of mine you replied to... not only do I have somewhat of a backlog of emails to respond to on that service, I'm also taking a break from dating new people just now. BUT... meeting a new friend for tea is always good, if you'd like to do that sometime. :)
