A Drama Free Event

I met "Eugenio" for coffee. He was normal! (What a relief!) Our mini-date turned into a three hour conversation. He is extremely interesting and easy to talk to. He wants to go out again. I told him "definitely."

Honestly, I can't make an immediate judgment as to whether "Eugenio" is someone that I want to pursue a dating relationship with, but we get along great. I think he's fun and worth getting to know better.

However, here is my dilemma... I'm always apt to meeting new people and making new friends. In the event I decide that I would rather be friends "Eugenio" instead of dating him... how do I approach the subject with him?

As my father says, "Men only have one thing on the brain. I don't care how nice they seem to be... Jane, if they have red blood flowing through their veins, they are only after one thing." (Thanks dad! The older I get... the wiser you get :)

As I was saying, "Eugenio" is someone I would love to have as a friend, but I'm not sure I want to pursue a dating relationship. So what do I do? If my dad is correct and all men are after the same thing... then "Eugenio" will likely only want to continue hanging out with me in the arena of dating.

How does a girl deal with this dilemma? Any suggestions?

On a lighter note... "Eugenio" and I stumbled onto the topic of blogs. (He brought it up, not me... and I definitely did not reveal to him that our date was the subject of my blog!) "Eugenio" made a funny observation, he said, "The only interesting blogs are the ones where the writers constantly have bad things happen to them (ie. drama).

Now, I think my blog is interesting... does this mean my life is filled with drama? And, if my life is truly filled with drama... does that mean that I'm a drama queen?

Nope, I don't think we can draw that conclusion! (Even though Austin HP... would thoroughly disagree and has categorized me as a "spaz" within the genus of drama queen. I might have to concede to that one day, but today is not that day.)
