Friday night I went out to Artmosphere to listen to a new friend's band. He's Michael's cousin (my boss) - he and his wife came into my work to eat, and mentioned that I should come out and hear them play. I agreed to it, and invited Allie and Pam, my two new cohorts. Pam didn't come, but Allie did. But, I had such great conversations with Tyler and Suzette before and after Allie got there. It was awesome. Tyler is like 3 months older than me, and they homeschool their kids and garden-- they raise chickens. Definitely my kind of people. :-) Had so much fun that night. Tonight, Allie wanted me to dress up and go out on the town with her, to which I agreed, but I had forgotten that I'd already told Pam I'd go with her to another venue here in town after work. Luckily, Allie didn't mind, and just came with us there. Good music there too. Hilarious conversations with drunk guys.
And speaking of guys. There's this older dude that comes into my work. He's somewhere around 50. Anyway, he's never been married, and I don't get the impression he's got many friends. So, he likes to come eat, especially if I'm available to talk to him. Well, the other day I told him that I'd be moving on to a different job, what with them selling the restaurant, and he gave me his number, so that he could call me about desserts or to find out where I end up working next. Well, he sent me a text the next night saying how much he enjoyed talking to me. And then tonight he asked me to call him after work, just to talk. Sigh. I was just being nice. I'm not interested dude. I'm sorry. You're way too old for me, we have next to nothing in common, and we only talk about superficial nonsense.
I always play out scenarios in my head, it's how I know what the consequences for my actions will be. He is a kind man and would love me completely and totally. But I would be incredibly bored. I would've settled, and that I cannot do.
Sigh.
