it's settled! the woman i went out with thursday night shall be known as "pikachu" (you see, we went to Pecha Kucha together, which sounds like a weird, fucked up pokémon).
where to start? recap on thursday: we met up at the art museum about 15min before the event was supposed to start. however, the first performer was a latin band that played far too loud and a bit too long. we spent about 45min just meandering, occasionally looking at art while trying to find somewhere sufficiently quiet for us to chat.
we meandered about. we chat. it seemed weird and awkward. i didn't know anything about pikachu (as i might through intertube dating) so there was a lot of weird back and forth 'biographical' questions being bounced around and not really a whole lot of quality 'conversation'.
the band finished, so we went back to the main atrium - which was packed and standing room only, as there were few seats - and stayed for the first batch of speakers. for the most part, they were decent and one had a very interesting discussion on 'creativity' and the creative process. parts of which dovetailed nicely with the talk from the night before.
when intermission rolled around, we decided to bolt and go get food. we walked through the crisp, breezy night. the place we were going to go was packed. next door is an italian place. a touch pricy, but whatevs. we nommed.
i walked her back to her car, hugged her goodbye and said i'd be in touch.
friday morning i text her to see if she wanted to go to a hockey game on either saturday or tuesday. saturday was out due to plans. tuesday was out due to a training session weds at work. i figured this was her way of saying she wasn't interested.
monday, she messaged me saying that work chanced the date of the session and she'd like to go to the game tues if i was still available. i agreed and we traded a couple of messages semi-firming things up.
and like that, we have a 2nd date set. a couple of my friends keep telling me to just relax and quit over analyzing shit. calm the fuck down and just enjoy things. but i can't. ambiguity freaks me the fuck out - i need to know exactly what is going on and where i stand with my relationships - real, pseudo or otherwise.
i guess we'll just see what we're gonna see in terms of how things go tuesday night. if it goes well, maybe i'll get to kiss her goodnight :-) and hold her skinny, tiny little body tight to mine :-D
