Got up the Nerve
for my first nerve date. I met eyeon last night for a movie (murderball). He is an artist by night - has a day job as designer for Revlon - is 41 and handsome - blue eyes, a tanned, slightly scruffy (in a sexy way) face, very nice hands. he seemed very shy in the beginning, it was a bit awkard to meet someone and then watch a film for 1.5 hours sitting next to each other in the dark (especially 'cause I cried at one point in the movie). Anyway, we chatted for two hours after the film and I am not sure what more to say except he is a nice, handsome guy. How boring, right? but seriously, it is so hard to get a sense for a total stranger after one meeting...especially if that one meeting is a date. how ironic.
But it was not always like that...
I remember when I was in 10th grade and away at summer school. I met this guy, Ian, who was in college at the time and was hanging around school for the summer. I met him in the courtyard around 7 pm or so and we started chatting. We did not stop chatting until 3 am when we starting kissing and we dated for the rest of the summer...(or almost, that is another story). My point is that I have met people in my past when I felt the chemistry almost immediately -
Is that the way it is supposed to happen?

interesting that you would say 'second' time around, kenny g..
the chemistry has been there more than once for me, but most always with people I already knew and, perhaps, the chemistry when I was younger was driven by more simple things - like someone who is hot - or someone who would get my blood boiling...and now I am left to wonder whether that changes with time, maturity, expectations...
then there is the more interesting question of whether that 'chemistry' is something to listen to. A cynic would say that it has not done much for me so far. And, fitting with that, is the fact that I feel that chemistry with imPerfect. Perhaps I am mistaking chemistry for something else...?
i think you can have chemistry with alot of people, doesn't mean they will satisfy you emotionally. are swingers really happy?
