The Aftermath
After the incident with the virgin, he got pretty mad at me. There were some pointed comments about me not being willing to “get over it”. Then there was a rather nasty email exchange. Finally I got tired and I called him on it. Normally not something I would do, but telling a guy I wouldn’t date him because he’s a virgin is also considerably outside my comfort zone. A fact which I pointed out to him, by the way.
What I got was a rather unexpected and abject apology. I was surprised, I thanked him for it, and I figured that was the end of that. I deleted him from my IM contact list and moved on. Until the next day when he started talking to me again.
At this point, since he was clear that I only wanted to be friends, that seemd to be harmless. And, tonight when I got so bored I could climb the walls, he suggested a movie. And so it was that after psuedo-dumping a guy, I met him anyway.
By the way? The reasons for his virginity are clear upon meeting him. Very nice guy with a very nice voice in a very socially awkward package.

Okay, so I started to try to write this all nice and cutesy like all the other Possible Prince tales, but I can’t be bothered today. Plus, some readers have mistakenly believed I’m trying to imply this guy I don’t even know really is princely. And while I appreciate all of the concern, I’m not making declarations about his character here. I just thought it might be cute for a change to have a fairy tale. So we’ll just call him PP now and I’ll write like a normal human being. Ok? Ok then.
Which, of course means that I’m talking to him again. Apparently PP stopped talking to me because he felt I was indifferent and wasn’t interested in pursuing a gal who could really take it or leave it. He seems to have come to this conclusion because I never placed a phone call to him. I know, I know…. it’s almost as if he’s never met me right? Wait a second… Anyway, after a careful explanation of how I can be a bit old-fashioned about some things in the beginning stages of knowing someone, we managed to set it right.
So after we both explained the mishap, we’ve been talking again. And, while I won’t swear to it, I think we may be going out sometime soon. He’s doing some crazy stuff at work so it can’t be this weekend, but we’re eyeing up some night next week. Maybe. Depending on work schedules.
At any rate, we’ve been talking this week and generally having a good time. He’s super tall, which I like. He laughs a lot, which I like. And sometimes he even snorts when he laughs, which just cracks me up. All in all, I’ve been having a good time with it and that’s what is most important at the end of the day.
So there you have it. Not a happily ever after, but not a disappearing hero either.
Filed under POF, possible prince | Comments (3)I suck. I totally called and bailed on the date and left a very nice, very confused virgin wondering what the hell happened. I am a bad person. Oooof.
UPDATE: Ok, I leveled with him. I don’t know if that makes this tale better or worse but I told him the truth. I’m pretty sure he hates me, which is a freaking shame because he seemed to be a great guy. But I knew I couldn’t handle the responsibility of that relationship and I know he very much is looking for a romantic relationship and not a new friend. I’d like to imagine I did the right thing.

Karma is a nasty little mistress, isn’t she? I fear she has come after me and nipped me soundly in the behind this time. And there is just no way for me to get out of it. I am now going to pay full price for my laugh at the Tragic Sundae. Oh yes, yes I am.
Here’s the story. I like geek guys. I like them a lot. I don’t care what you think of me, I think they are instantly hotter and they win points with me. Now I do of course have limits. We must be looking at the reasonable geeks here. But still, geek guys do it for me.
So when this relatively sane looking geek guy started emailing with me, I was kind of interested. He’s 28, lives nearby, and is well spoken. He got quickly to the business of exchanging phone numbers, then asking me out. He took the proper initiative. And he has a very lovely very deep voice. He’s even tall. If this guy is even reasonably attractive, I’m thinking he is my type and then some. So when he called me last night, we made a coffee date for tonight right at the beginning of the conversation. Then we proceeded to chat for close to 2 hours.
And it was around the hour and a half mark that he revealed he’s a virgin. That’s right, gentle readers. I have accidentally made a coffee date with a 28 year old virgin. Karma is kind of a bitch.
