I kind of like Craigslist guy. A lot.

We met at 3:00 near his office, where he showed up toting a bag of 2 Magnolia cupcakes, red velvet for me and vanilla for himself.  He suggested Le Parker Meridien hotel for the cocktails to complement our cupcakes.  I ordered a nice glass of riesling and he had a hoegaarden.  We were close, though not too close, on a loungey type love seat.  A little over an hour of talking about all sorts of things, mainly pertinent to college and work.

We walked back out into the cold Winter air (apparently there’s a blizzard headed here tonight) and he walked me to the subway.  As we were talking by the steps, some girl stopped and asked him for directions to 5th ave, which is when we started talking about always being asked directions… about 5 feet from us, an elderly couple was clearly lost, though had their map out.  The man looks up at me and says “Don’t worry, I won’t ask your boyfriend for directions too.”  We both laughed and kept talking for a few minutes.  Then he leaned down to kiss me… no tongue, just a simple kiss.  It was perfect… until a woman pushed past me, yelling “move!”, interrupting our 3rd kiss.  We both smiled, kissed one more time, then said bye.

10 minutes later he wrote: “Hey you!  Was great to see you again!!  And a much better goodbye we had today.  Can’t wait to see you next week.  By the way, you looked adorable.”

I really like him.

Shit.
