uhm. he just left. after talking for 3 hours. we behaved ourselves admirably. very admirably, i might add. i want to behave. he’s not making it easy, however, because he makes me laugh and i like him and i mean, i can’t believe this is happening. it’s so EASY to be with him. i honestly cannot remember this happening…not in this way…not…in a long time…ever?

i played the guitar for him, and all he said was “fuck fuck fuck fuck.”

i’m like, “WHAT????”

he looks like he’s going to cry, no lie, and says, after much hesitation and prodding from me, “you know what i was just thinking as you were singing?”

“no, what?”

“i could fall in love with this girl…”

holy shit.

i was speechless. we just stared at each other.

then he said this: “can you still have kids?”

i said i didn’t know. how could i know?

uhm. i’m still not sure why he asked me that…but he started joking that if he was with me, he’d be having kids with me left and right.

uhm again. well. i do want children. but who knows…i have no idea because i haven’t tried. anyway. it was silly. he was being silly. but it tugged at my heart a bit…

i told him i wanted to be courted. he said he really likes that. he likes the idea of courting. he likes that i said it. he likes me. he said that over and over again.

we had some serious discussion, and he started to open up about some things that i was a bit concerned about the other night.

and then i find out, that he knows (was best friends with) the father-in-law, of my sister-in-law. no kidding. somehow i was talking about his son, who is married to my sister-in-law (actually, my brother-in-law’s sister, but it’s easier just to call her my sister-in-law/friend) and he asked me if it was C—-.

uh. yeah. that seemed to be the icing on the cake for him. he was like “oh MY GOD!”

well. it was kinda weird. but that’s this city. one degree of separation every where you look.

he just walked home. my phone rang. it was him, telling me that he had such a great time with me tonight and it was really special. he told me to call him in the morning…

sigh. off to bed.

PS–HE is mathematician
