So I met E downtown and we walked over to this jazz club where we watched this group play, one of the dudes I'd met at that housewarming a few weeks back. Three friend met us there, one of whom E has acquired an instant crush on, as I suspected he would. She's a main friend in town and I've always had to fight back my crush on her because she's totally adorable.
I think I'll have her'n'E over for dinner Monday or Tuesday night.
Then we split up and I took E on a decently long walking tour of downtown Denver, as it was a lovely evening for walking. Conveniently, his hotel is *right* next to my office - they have adjacent corners of a block, and I had to drop something off there tonight so he got the two-minute tour of the office (it's just one room, the office)...

I don't get it, if she's totally adorable, why fight the crush? Your reason was: because she's totally adorable, and that doesn't seem like a reason to hold back. And now E has a crush. You could've nipped it in the bud and told him "she's mine!" and then you two could've had a duel to the death for her...but now....now you're just having dinner. Sigh, they just don't do it like how they used to anymore.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I did manage to get your name out of E, and he gave it, it was so easy, and then I thought, "a-ha! I've got a name! I win!!!" But seconds later I realized that name means nothing to me (no offense), it's just some letters strung together. For a while I was trying to figure out how, and then realized, I've already known how, you told me how, through E, but I guess I haven't really gotten off that CSI state of mind, until today. So really, you win. Case closed. Archived.
Well. If ultimately, despite her being totally adorable and really fun and cool and smart, etc., you fight it because you're pretty such that in all actuality you wouldn't be good together, dating-wise, and that it's better just to leave things how they are.
ReplyDeleteE can have her if he wants her. We made lots of jokes to that end walking around last night.
And I don't get it - you had the name. Those months ago when I sent you to my other friends' site who put up the pics of me when I was in San Fran - that post *had* my name in it...
And hey, that means you're talking to E, so that's good. We didn't mention you last night, though. So no salutations were passed along.
And, incidentally, my friend Abigail has the same blog template we do...
ReplyDeleteAnd E has a crush more or less on pretty much every woman in the entire world. He's a lover of women. It wouldn't have mattered if I was dating the lass, he still would've totally wanted her. Which is fine.
ReplyDeleteAnd no offense taken, I think that's what I was trying to argue to you for months - you really wanted a name, and I argued that I could be any person out in the world, because that's really what I am; I tried to explain that I didn't think that a name would matter because it doesn't really tell you anything. I'm still just another person out there.
I was gonna ask the same question that SH asked as to why YOU aren't dating said adorable girl.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I enjoyed the banter in the comments almost as much as I enjoyed the post itself.
Cheerio.
So my phone battery was super dead last night, so I was using E's phone to send the adorable girl a text message about where to meet us, and although E took the phone back very quickly, I think I saw a text from you, probably asking about my identity...
ReplyDeleteThis adorable girl is starting to become like that little red haired girl on Charlie Brown. She was always my favorite because she was the prettiest drawn, and as a kid I was shallow like that. But then again, I always saw myself as charlie brown, a balding 60 year old trapped in a little kid's body. Awkward.
ReplyDeleteHm...and that must be one of E's many female exchanges, because he and I do not text, in fact I don't even have his number. Just checked...and nope, don't have his number. Let's get CSI on the case.
