The Philosopher - Part 2
Over the coming weeks, The Philosopher would text message me randomly before disappearing again. Mostly the conversations degraded quickly into some kind of sexy talk and I would try to redirect, deflect, or just terminate the conversation all together. It was clear what the Philosopher wanted and it definitely wasn’t more than a roll in the hay. He spent much time trying to convince me our next date should be at my place, in front of my fireplace. I knew that was badly disguised code for “I’m not going out with you again unless you give up the goods.” I agreed to nothing.
He came back in town about a month after that first date. I had had my limit of the sexy talk and the blatant goal setting he was attempting to do. I bluntly asked him why he was so determined. He bluntly answered why not. I rather bluntly told him it wasn’t ever going to happen. Alas, this story would not be so long if I’d stuck to my guns.

So I promised you the story of The Philosopher and by golly you shall have it.
I met him over Yahoo personals. He seemed quirky and reasonably good looking and we started to email back and forth. It was a rather odd email exchange where we discussed mundane things but also poked a healthy amount of fun at each other. Finally we set a time to meet. But the day we were to meet, The Philosopher emailed to say he had a job offer in North Carolina and was moving right away. He was worried about packing and was distracted and wanted to give our date his full attention. He assured me he would be back in the area often and he wasn’t blowing me off. I didn’t hear from him for roughly a month. I forgot I’d given him my phone number.
