[CrashNburn]

So who's this mysterious IM'er? Sounds knowledgable

Someone should quote each part of this story into one post....7 pages in like 2 days...

Earlier this evening I posted that I was not going to see this guy tonight.

But in the last couple of hours I've gotten a good talkin'-to from some friends who have helped me to see that I am totally overthinking it. Soooo...I have since texted him and apologized. I told him I'm still interested in meeting tonight. He texted me right back immediately and said "great!" He then informed me that he gets off the beat at midnight. He said he'll be hungry and wants to eat first. But after that, he wants us to go back to his place to "get some things off his chest."

I'm so f***ing weak.

It's a good thing.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

It's a good thing.

I guess. I feel...I dunno. Liberated.

Granted, I'm really going against my more cautious nature by throwing all caution to the wind but...it feels good. Since he's made all the moves so far, I'm thinking about beating him to the punch and explain to him why I initially canceled our meeting for tonight. That I am attracted to him. That might break the ice for him a bit and to get the courage he needs to express himself.

I think that you should do that, LS. He needs some response from you.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Stammering is not a response.

Just fyi.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I am gonna make it easy for him to loosen up tonight. In addition to opening up to him, I'm gonna be a little less rigid than I've been with him lately. Put some fun back into it. For example, I've been collecting slogan-inspired Fireman t-shirts for years and I'm thinking about wearing one of them with some jeans. He'll get the point. Obviously, it's rather cold out but I wouldn't be wearing the jacket in the coney. But maybe he'll like it, since he'll already be in uniform. I have this one and it fits me pretty good.

Is that a bit too ****ey? I can just do a fitted turtleneck.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

LOL!!!!!!!!

That shirt is the BOMB!!!

But it does come off a little strong. I'd recommend holding off on that until after date two.

 

[chaseter]

Just wear those yellow coveralls and nothing else.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Just wear those yellow coveralls and nothing else.

Those are gonna hang up in the closet until we consumate the relationship.

 

[chaseter]

Be careful. Those things that he has on his chest that he needs to get off could be an alien baby. Those things grow to adult size in like minutes so be careful.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

That's pretty messed up of those two guys and It's good that you're okay.

 

[Marx]

I think we're all just wishing you luck LS!

 

[NotAHenchwench]

Man, I'm sorry that had to happen to you.

As far as the guy goes... I agree with the others. It seems he's shy and curious. I'm anxious to see what happens though, for sure.

And yes, him being shy is a little adorable, even if he's trying to cover up the fact that you are mega hotsauce and he's attracted to you. It's completely possible you could be the first guy he's ever been attracted to... he might just be a little taken off-guard. Maybe.

I'm gunna need updates though... [I hope you went with the fitted turtleneck. ]

Lightning, if it wasn't a bit too ****ey, it just wouldn't be you!

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I don't know you at all Lightning, but best of luck man. I'm surprised at how intrigued I've been by this thread. Read all the way through it just now.
My opinion is about like everyone elses: he seems confuse dor scared, and doesn't really know how to approach you. I wish a friend of mine who is gay was around, I'd ask his opinion on the matter as well.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

So 5 pages ago brother

Interesting....and like some of the others, I am amazed at how much I am interested in following this thread.
You probably had a late night, since you werent meeting him until after midnight (seems like you stay out/up late a LOT!). But Im sure all of us want some updates asap!

As far as the shirt...if it were me you were meeting, I doubt I would notice the shirt/think it had anything to do with me/the meeting.

Keep us posted.

 

[Sentinel X]

Man, this reads like a romantic comedy novel ....I never knew I was interested in one of those

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I'm awake and can't talk long here. We are about to get some breakfast. But last night/this morning blew my mind for reasons I didn't even see coming. Something happened that I didn't expect. All I can say for now is...DAAAAAYUUUUM.

I gotta get my thoughts together. Wow.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

Get it, boy!!!

I want details!!! Spill it!

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Agreed. Holding out on us like this may lead to some form of injury.
