Self,
So I doubt that anyone besides myself have noticed that I've had an extended period of inactivity in regards to dating. LOL and maybe nobody else cares rather there's some activity or not in that department....but I do!
Well after said dating drought, I now seem to have developed a few potentials, almost a "start 5 Line-up," if you will.
I don't want to quite "rank" them if for no other reason than you never know what the future holds and I don't want place too high of expectations on any one situation...where I'm ultimately "putting the cart before the horse."
That said I guess I'll identify them in order of appearances, meaning when I met them.
1) Gee. This is just a spelling out the initial of his first name. He's 39, recently relocated to Los Angeles from Charolette, NC. The phone conversation had been cool the few times we talked during the week leading up to our meeting. The meeting was simple. He's staying with his best friend and the friend's lover, on a air mattress. So I went by one night and we sat on the sofa and talked a bit. I don't know if it was just late or what but he wasn't quite as engaging as he had been on the phone.
2) This one I'm nicknaming "Neo" here because he has the same last name as Keanu Reeve's character in The Matrix movie. Neo is 23, and just a sweetheart...there is something that I find just adorable about him. Yes I am fond of him, but I think ultimately I see it developing into a big brother/little brother type friendship like I have with "BabyBro." LOL Which means BabyBro may be bumped out of that positions since he won't be the "baby" of my adopted/extended siblings at that point any more. (Sorry!) Anyway Neo lives in his grandfather's house. We met there one day when I got off of work while Neo's grandfather was out of town looking hat houses down in the South.
3) Cee. Again I'm just spelling out the initial of his first name. Cee is 24. (I know just barely a step up from Neo.) Although Cee is only 24, he does give a little more "grown man" vibe that is ...well rather sexy. However again I think it will ultimately be another brother type bond....that of course is assuming that he's open to that. Cee I think lives on his on his own, in Glendale not too far from where I use to live. We met at a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf around the corner from his place one night.
4) KB. I am again just using initials, to keep it simple. KB is 35. We actually had like a real date. Granted it was just dinner and a movie, but we had fun and we already have plans for this coming weekend. KB lives in Reseda...which is NOT around the corner...but for now it also is NOT a deal breaker at this point. We went to dinner at this place on the LA border of Beverly Hills and near West Hollywood. it was cute little café that served crepes. It was good but initially not totally filling as I would have liked, but after a while I also didn't want anything else...so I guess it worked. We went to see the new Fast & Furious movie called, "Fast Five." We both enjoyed the movie and as I said the over all evening went well.
5) OK so really there isn't an actually #5 in this starting five line up....I'll leave the space open...because as I said you don't know what the future holds. There was someone who potentially filled this spot but he pissed me off before we had a chance to meet because he felt I was inattentive and there for a flake during the days that I was out of town and the days of the funeral for my grandfather the immediately followed my return to Los Angeles. His approach with that was way to disrespectful and stank for my taste and I told him so. Then I told him to loose my number.
Although the number 5 slot is still open, honestly, I don't think I'll be accepting any more applications.
Sincerely,
Pharoah
