Now that I started a blog, I feel like I am going through the process of The Year of Yes. The list of needs has changed into the list of, “it would be nice if he has”.  I am throwing away the childhood concept of a knight in shining armor or even a really rich lawyer, and giving everyone a try.  That means even unconventional methods I usual ignore, I am saying yes to.

With that said, I met Mr. Cat Caller on Tuesday after attending my final event in the Back Bay area.  I was on the phone with Ms. Purple, when I heard “Hey, hey you.  My friend likes you.”  Mr. Cat Caller did not even originally call me out, his friend did.  My response simply was  “He is going to have to work harder than that.  You gotta be aggressive to get me.”  He immediately gets up and comes to talk to me.  We talked for a couple of minutes and I gave him my number.  Ms. Purple (who has known me for over 10 years) asked do you normally give your number out in the streets like that?  She knows this, and the answer is no.  Italy taught me to smile and walk away, but if they are too aggressive then say “va funculo.”

About an hour later he called and asked me for drinks but I was already in my pjs getting ready for Leno.  I did learn he was raised in North Africa, educated in Italy (bonus), and majored in a science that I tend to go out with a lot, and spoke four languages (father material). We agreed to go out the next night after class, but the next night he was stuck at work and called to apologize about canceling the date.  I told him we just met yesterday I am not going anywhere, why don’t we do lunch.  36 hours later I was sitting at The Pour House waiting for my date.

The good news: he was cuter than my  two drinks and heat exhausted eyes remember.  I mean like really cute, and with a great smile.  Foreign and tall.  The type that always looks good in button down shirt and trendy jeans.  The kind of cute that makes you contemplate a salad instead of a burger.  ( It was only a contemplation.)  The date went well because he asked me questions, and vis a versa (like a real conversation Mr. Match Liar). I even dropped some of my Lebron James knowledge (I don’t think he was impressed.).  He also has that cute silent type going for him.  He isn’t a loud speaker and concise with his answers.  I learned more about him, but he remains a mystery.  He didn’t try to touch me or girlfriend me up in two minutes. Also, he picked up the tab.
