The Third Guy

They say that three is the charm?  or something like that?  I really was interested/cautiously/confusidly with Boat Builder (the 1st).  Currently being caught up by Storm (the 2nd).  Met the third one tonight.  We had only emailed a few times.  We'd gone over the interests/personality traits via email, hadn't talked in person.  He said he was really nervous to meet me, but wanted to, and I wanted to meet him too.  He seemed really sweet and down to earth.  Shy.

The first few seconds/minutes weren't promising. I was waiting on a bench outside the cafe...he walked up to me.  OK. So I KNOW that when you first meet someone new, your guard can be up, you're nervous, you are not yourself.  But he DIDN'T smile at me.  He didn't look at all happy to be there.  He admitted previously that he was nervous to meet me.  As we drank our coffee he admitted I was the first girl he had met in person through the site. He said that out of all the girls he had written back and forth with, I was the only one he thought was WORTH meeting.  Ok, wow, flattered.

We left the cafe...went walking around the downtown.  We talked about all the meaningless stuff...family..siblings...jobs..blah blah blah, job interview stuff.  He started to relax a bit.  I started to see the scared sweet guy behind the huge teeth and big ears.  Not that he was unattractive.  When he loosened up, he was darn right cute.  Slim muscular body.  My age.  He has large clear blue green eyes.  Some of the biggest most attractive eyes I've seen on a man (better than the French Man).

I felt like I wanted to give him a second date....maybe he'll be a bit more of himself.  Who knows.  I don't think you can click with someone after just 1.5hrs.  And his schedule is VERY different from mine.  He works 3rd shift.  He said he really enjoyed meeting me and wanted to see me again, he asked if he could give me his phone number. 

We were standing on the sidewalk just near my shop, I had just finished giving him MY number, we had shaken hands and were starting to walk away from each other when a big gleaming pick-up truck drove by, honked, a tan muscular arm out the window waving at me: Boat Builder.  OMG.

So.  This third guy.  I don't think there is ANYTHING going for us.  But I think I would see him again.  On a friendly basis.  Try to give him some confidence, try to encourage him to get the courage to get  out and meet more girls because he is not the guy for me in the long run...but he certainly has some good traits, and is cute...  His schedule is not something that would work for me in the long run.  I need a guy that has the time for me that works with MY schedule (and so far that is Storm).

So here I have met and discovered The Third Guy.
