"Peter"

Next Up: "Peter"

"Peter" was hot. He first messaged me and boy was I excited. He was new to the site and I was one of the first girls he decided to contact; I was flattered. He was a really ambitious guy and extremely smart. He had THREE majors and a great job at a major accounting firm here in the area. I was really impressed how driven he was but was also a bit intimidated since although I have goals, I have yet to achieve them and feel as if I could do a lot more in my life to strive towards them. Anyways, he had studied abroad and had amazing things to share with me about his travels. He even offered to exchange some photos, but I declined, since my email is my entire full name and we had only just begun messaging one another.

We still talked for a little over a week and since he hadn't asked to get together, I went ahead and suggested getting drinks, hoping it wasn't too forward of me. He agreed to meet up and didn't think it too forward of me to ask; he had been reluctant since I didn't want to exchange emails so soon. We set a date for a Friday night at my favorite restaurant for drinks. We exchanged phone numbers and kept in touch during the rest of the week. He even called me one evening and we ended up speaking for an hour on the phone; his voice was as hot as his photos. Hubba hubba.

One thing about "Peter," though, is that he was EXTREMELY busy. He constantly worked 12-14 hour days and wouldn't get home till 9 or 10 at night. Sometimes even later. This concerned me because how was he going to have time for dating/a relationship if he is at work all the time? I had a previous relationship with a guy who also would have periods of working extremely long hours and it was NOT easy on our relationship, that is for damn sure. I just threw this thought into the back of my mind and tried to focus more on meeting up that Friday.

We met up in front of the restaurant and he was just as attractive in his photos as he was in person; he was very much my type physically. Yum. We grabbed two seats at the bar and ordered some drinks. It was a bit awkward at first, mostly because this was his first ever online date, apparently. That also made me very nervous. However, we found plenty to talk about and chatted for a couple hours. We covered pretty much every topic and I was really starting to dig this guy more and more. I felt like he was someone I could introduce to my friends and my family and could really just roll with the punches that life gives him. We were both fairly tired and it was getting late. We decided to split and walked out together back to our cars.

We hugged goodbye and happened to park just a few spots away from one another. I felt pretty good about this date, but was still unsure how it would go in the coming days. When I got home, I noticed I had a text message from him saying he had a fun evening. It really put a smile on my face and definitely was a good start to the weekend. The next day I sent him a text saying I hoped he was enjoying his weekend off from not working and he was enjoying the beautiful weather. He replied back and also asked how my weekend was going and I replied once more.

I haven't heard from him since this past weekend. Either he's not interested or he's buried beneath TPS reports. Oh well, his loss.
