Well, he's not really a boy. A guy, or man if you will... But seriously, we currently have each other's phone numbers and I'm casually (ahem, anxiously) waiting to see what happens next.
Oh, you want the details? Fine, fine, I'll dole out a few. I ended up making my first trip out in Philly with a whole group of girlfriends (and depending on how you look at it, one lucky or very unlucky boyfriend of one of the girls!). Of course, first and foremost on our agenda: dancing. Well, cocktails first, THEN on to the dancing. We made our mark on the bar, consuming the dance floor and getting in our numerous requests. As I've mentioned before, sometimes you just need to dance, and boy did we ever. At one point, these crazy boys tried to out dance us, and while they looked ridiculous (us ladies NEVER do of course...), it was this craziness that prompted me to open my mouth and talk to this cute guy next to me. Us ladies had been edged out from our dance circle, and when I turned my head to laugh about it, I saw a boy looking back, not one of my girls. So, fueled on by cocktail courage, plus my approaching 30 pledge to not let fear hold me back, I teased him to jump in on that dance fun (at least, I think I sounded this witty, it's a wee bit hazy). This lead to more witty banter, eventually some dancing, some lingering outside the bar, and yes, yes, there was even a little smooching. He was nice, he was funny, he was cute, he was interesting, and he seemed totally into me. He asked for my number, which I exchanged for his, and we parted ways. The End.
Or is it? Now I wait... or I make the first move? How does this game go? How many days do I wait til I call, or let's be honest, go the safe route and text? How do I know he's actually interested? We've all been there when we feel he's interested and then, we just never hear from him again. Is this the case? Was I just an evening of fun? I was genuine, how do I know if he was? The questions could drive me mad, but I won't let them. If he gets in touch, great! But, if I don't hear from him, then maybe I'll take matters into my own hands. I have no reason to think he WOULDN'T be interested. And THEN, if I don't hear anything back, I'll pull up my socks and move on...so long as there's dancing.
