So... this nice gentle is definitely a bit different than anybody I've ever gone out to dinner with or talked to period. I know trying to be picky never works but I am happy I didn't use my supposed guidelines before meeting a person. I guess we always need to give a person a chance first and then see what they are like.
I went to Dinner on Tuesday evening after I taught my lessons at Johnny Carinos (an Italian restaurant) in Rancho Cucamonga.
We hadn't seen each other in quite a while since we both went to U of R but he was C/O of 2006 and I was '07. So add that to the time line now, it's probably been like 5 years or 4 1/2 yrs. We had briefly talked through FB here and there but nothing serious. I honestly do not remember how it came down to meeting for Dinner but it did. I am was quite happy that I did actually.
When I showed up at the restaurant he said he didn't recognize, "You're much taller than I remember"... I laughed and showed him my boot heel, "ah, testing the 3 inch heel thing." Not really testing it but I couldn't remember how tall he was and it had been a while but he was still taller not like it mattered but it did. And, he did look better in better than he did in his picture. It had just been too long to really remember. He said I was "Tall, dark and stunning"... the dark because I was wearing dark colors I'm assuming but I mean I am more tanned than he is.
He is of white decendency, but I cannot remember quite what of... I know he has some hungarian, and jewish... but do not recall much. I know my short term memory kills me a lot... But, he told me that he took spanish for years and knew a little. It was a little awkward at times, not uncomfortable but I am not sure how to describe it but when he wanted to speak spanish I somehow felt so much more comfortable. We started talking much more comfortably even though he didn't quite understand everything but he was only speaking Spanish so his effort was definitely not overlooked. We spoke until he got a little tired or his vocab maxed out. Obviously the Spanish they learn is always so different than the one we sometimes speak.
He kept staring the whole time. It was a little hard to make eye contact well for me. Not because I didn't want to but it makes me nervous at first. I don't know it's always been one of my biggest issues. Once I get comfortable I am ok which ended up happening when we were talking Spanish. I asked him why he was staring so much later on and he said "I want to study every feature" and I asked " did you?" and he said, "there wasn't enough time!" Time just flew...
He is very analytical, observes and intakes everything. But, I've noticed in many things he's just a step ahead of me. I don't have to ask before he is responding to my question I hadn't just yet asked. Which is kind of convenient for me.
He is 5'10" and was dressed pretty handsome. He was wearing slacks, a dress shirt and a tie. That's probably what he wear to work. He works at a high school as a band director. He's 26, my age but will shortly turn 27. I know he loves music and at least regarding my being a music student where I went he appreciates similar but I know he have quite disimilar tastes in other music but we are individuals. And with his job, I know he is super busy since I work with another director in the same school district. But, knowing that, I know his schedule is consitent and super busy always... it's the music teacher life... no life. Like the question is proposed, " Is there life after Music?" And we both know the answer is really a no...
I enjoyed the time we got to speak. After he got out of the restaurant we talked in the parking lot for a while. It felt so nice outside but did get a little cold. He was a gentleman and gave me his jacket even though I told him he didn't have to. He insisted. I learned the hardships he went through as child and we talked about my life too. I know what he wants from life... what kind of relationship he wants, kids, marriage everything... Surprising we talked like we had hang out before or there there had never been a gap or like we weren't really strangers. He is really more focused on finding some one who wants to spend the rest of their lives with him. He is looking for a serious relationship. We had talked about little about my life and he gave me a different perspective than another friend had given me which made sense also... He understands different with what he has gone through. There were pretty deep conversations.
The only thing now is to see what happens.
