When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are - Bruno Mars
So I went on my first date in two years since I left JW.
He is a very nice man that I met on Facebook. I took a chance on meeting him because he grew up in the same area as me, went to a “brother” high school and generally has the same demographics and culture as I do. We’ve been chatting through posts for ages now and have many friends in common.
He is a very successful and talented artist who studied philosophy and he can hold an interesting conversation, knows about art and reads widely. It is such a pity that although his mind is a philharmonic orchestra, the spark between us was the metaphorical equivalent of a triangle (you know the instrument that they give the most unmusical child at school so she doesn’t feel left out in music class).
I suppose that at least I have added another marvellous friend to my increasing circle of interesting, real people, but it would have been nice if it had been more of a date. Unfortunately, history tells me that I prefer bad boys and I am not going there again.
