Flowers, Pulled Pork and Stalkers

What do these things add up to? I'd say a perfect afternoon. To start, I had a lunch date this afternoon with a gentleman I met through a friend of mine. We already did the meet at the coffee shop thing, with my friend, and we hit it off.

So he calls me last week and mentions he'll be around my neighborhood, it would be convenient to have BBQ for lunch before his 3pm appointment. (I'm sure right now the guys reading this are thinking 'smooth' and the women are thinking 'not too smooth') but he says it with some degree of charm so I say yes. Really, what girl could say no to pulled pork?

He later realizes that by making it seem he only wants to see me because it's convenient for him, might NOT have been charming, which is where the flowers come in--he brings them to me as he picks me up. Very nice. We had a great time with plenty of conversation. I felt our date ended too soon--even though it was a couple of hours long--there was still much more to talk about. So we're going out again on Saturday!

When I get home, no more than 15 minutes go by, and a friend from 20 years ago calls me up. He found me on facebook (that's where the stalking comes in--really facebook could be a stalker's best friend!) and we exchanged a few messages and phone numbers. I haven't seen him since his wedding 15 years ago. Although we have always gone long periods without talking, whenever we do talk, it's like we spoke yesterday. We always seem to pick right up where we've left off.

So, here's to my perfect afternoon of flowers, pulled pork and stalkers!
