For the past several Fridays, I have been getting a small "gift" of sorts. It is not anything big; just a short message asking me how my week was. This small gesture is very meaningful for me, because I know there are no expectations attached to it.
You see, it is sent by someone I went on a date with about a month ago. I think of him as Mr.GQ, because he showed up still wearing his suit from work, and as the saying goes, he wore it well :) I finally gave in and went out with him (he had been pursuing me since September, and I kept turning him away because I thought he was a bit too naughty for me, judging from his early messages. It turns out he was just being very flirty.)
We had a great conversation, and a fun time, but I felt both of us left knowing this was probably not a relationship we were going to pursue. I told him in later conversations that I would be on the lookout for any available super models for him, and he politely told me he couldn't see that happening either.
But we have kept in communication. Just a note once a week. Just checking in with each other. I have been dating other men, and in spite of his protestations, I can't help but think he has been out on dates with other women as well. But our weekly messages (usually consisting of a few short posts) are just enough to make me smile, and give me faith that, yes, there are some decent men out there.
