The Story Begins...

This story begins with me 4 days after ending a dating relationship with a 40 year old man. Yes, I dated a 40 year old... Almost everyone reading my blog knows the story of why and how that ended, so I won't elaborate.

Here is the current status of my dating adventures:

I was asked out by "Eugenio" on two separate occassions while I was working at my part time retail job. I've had a few offers from customers before, but they really creeped me out and I never considered them. Eugenio was extremely polite, not pushy, straight forward and just seemed like a credible guy overall. His pick up line (which worked quite effectively), "Jane, you seem like a really nice girl. I would like to take you to dinner sometime. Here is my card, call me if you're interested." I never called him, but three weeks later I ran into him again at the store (He isn't stalking me, he just moved into a new condo and has a lot of stuff to buy for it). Anyway, he didn't make me feel bad about not calling. I felt like I owed him an explanation as to why I didn't call. So I told him the truth, that the reason I hadn't called was because I had started dating someone else (aka the 40 year old player). He said that was fine, and that I should email him sometime because, "email is harmless enough".

So, 2 days after I ended it with the 40 year old, I emailed Eugenio and we've been emailing back and forth. He's pretty cool. I don't know if anything romantic will result from it all, but at the very least he seems to be a person that is worth getting to know better.
