No more minutes

September 13, 2015 Sunday
Not a word from 10-Minute Man in a week.  *sigh
I HATE SILENCE!  
I logged on to Ashley Madison this morning, wondering if I had missed a message from him, and saw by chance that he had revoked my access to his photos.  Ha ha… I already downloaded them.   I’m taking that as goodbye.  

So I have discovered way #47 (exaggerating.  only slightly) for a connection to go south.  That has to be the tackiest way to make it clear to a woman you’re done.  Asshole.  Whatever.  

I asked one thing of him as we parted – closure.  Please let me know if you’re not interested.  Just drop me a quick email,  best of luck blah blah.  And he promised.  And then… nothing. 

I need to get over wanting that, I suppose.  Shouldn’t ask so they don’t have to lie?  *sigh

Thank goodness I didn’t have sex with him.  But maybe if I had been able to show him my skillz he would’ve stuck around?  Ah well.  No sense if “what ifs.”  The Canadian is making me feel wanted!

Meet #2 Longer than 10 minutes

September 7, 2015 Monday Labor Day 
I got up early, ate a bowl of cereal, hung out on the internet for awhile, then showered, shaved and got dressed.  I drove over to the Cambridge Brewing Company, found a nice parking spot on the street less than a block away and strolled to the restaurant right on time for our noon meet.  It was wicked hot outside! 

The restaurant was locked up tight!  There was a sign, “Closed for the Holiday.”  Huh.  I went around to the patio and there he was typing on his phone.  He smiled and gave me a quick hug.  We puzzled over why the place was closed.  No notice of that on their web site.  

We decided to go over to the mall.  I offered to drive, as he isn’t familiar with this area.  So we walked back to my car. I parked on the upper level of the garage and he chose PF Chang’s for lunch.  I threaded my way through the mall and back out to the restaurant.  We got a corner banquet table.  He sat across from me rather than beside me.  He ordered the kung pao chicken lunch special with a spring roll.  I got my usual hot & sour soup with the spicy green beans side. And the strawberry cucumber limeade.  He said he was considering a beer, but he is a bit of beer snob and they have only mediocre choices.  I pointed out the Dogfish Head and a couple others that people at my office like.  He said since he was driving he’d better not, so he drank water. 
The food came out quickly and we munched and chatted.  It turns out he is a teacher!  I would not have thought that.  He looks more like a lawyer or insurance exec.  He had on a golf shirt and khaki pants.  

We talked about where we were raised, Thanksgiving traffic, and random things.  After the food was cleared he asked how long I’d been on AM and how I’d fared.  I tried to get him to go first, but he said he told me his name, so I get to answer this question!  I told him about Philip finding me and then joining AM three years ago this weekend and then 17 first dates, and finally two nice men from NH and a year on the shelf.  He told me about being on for 6 years, having several long-term relationships, still in touch with several.  We talked about expectations – passion, fun, no “bunny boiling.”   He said he had been very lucky to find nice, normal women who like sex.  

He looked at my watch at 1:30 pm and said he had to go.  He paid the bill.  I offered cash but he declined.  We made our way back to my car in the parking garage.  He said he had a few more minutes… could we sit in the car?  Sure thing.  I got in and cranked up the air-conditioning! 

He asked me if I had ever done anything sexy outside and I told him very briefly about my time in the cemetery with the Blog Fan.  

He said, “I can kiss you now.”  I looked over and laughed, “Oh really?”  He laughed and leaned over.  It was a good start.  I put my hard on his face and let him control it.  I moaned softly.  He kissed me deeply, then backed away, saying, “Oh yes… I think we can have fun.”  

Turns out I had no cash – I had given it all to Mom yesterday!  So he paid for my parking too.  Luckily it was only $3.99.  I pulled up near his car back over near the bar.  He kissed me again, weaving his fingers into my hair and going deep with his tongue, then sighed and said he really had to go.  He kissed me once more and was gone.

Such a demure public demeanor, with such a feisty attitude roiling beneath the surface — what is Sassy up to this upcoming week?

This has got to be the most disjointed conversation ever!  Definitely much of that is my fault, being so bogged down with work.  I hope we can get down to planning a meet soon!

I’ve been in a mix of mostly work with little play; was hoping that you could correct this lopsided ratio. Seems yours has tipped unfavorably to work as well…don’t let them grind the sassiness out of you…I’d like some left over for us to share! :-p

Wow!  He’s keeping in touch! Not saying much, but it is something.  Too bad I don’t feel like writing back… I am never like this but somehow his brevity and my prepping for the big conferences is stealing my ability to respond.  Ah well… maybe tomorrow.

Sassy, sorry you’re under a time crunch right at the end of August… we’ll figure this out so we can meet again… and in not so brief a fashion…

I read this on my way to work and meant to answer but work was totally busy and by the time I got home I didn’t have to brain cells to rub together… and I feel uninspired.  Maybe tomorrow.
