Since I don't have an internship anymore (it was unpaid, I didn't connect with anyone there, all I did was make secretarial duties), I went to the big Club Fest at NYU Kimmel Center. The downside to that was most of the clubs featured were for undergrads and a lot of the meetings happened at night and I can't go to them because of classes. However, the Games Club and Ballroom Dancing happens later at night so I'll definitely check those out.
Games Club was happening tonight so right after class I headed over. I met a bunch of guys and started playing a weird card game that I didn't understand so after awhile let someone else play in my place. Started talking to DB who wanted a hug so we stood there holding onto each other for awhile. It felt good. We then sat close together, talked about all sorts of things and I felt like myself again. This is the way I should interact with everyone...
Anyway, we played Mafia and I was Cupid. (a little different from the norm) I was safe for the first two rounds and people figured out I was Cupid since I said "The greatest thing is to love and be loved," but then they killed me in the 3rd round. What the hell? After that we dispersed and I left with DB who kept trying to poke, tickle, put his arm around me. Okay, I let him.
We went to Groove, a little bar with live jazzy soul music. It was pretty good. DB and I continued our conversation and kind of ended up making out... Then I ended up taking the same subway with him, and getting off with him at Roosevelt Island, where he resides. Roosevelt Island is a cute little place with gorgeous view of the water.
At his place I met Sprangles, the little orange cat who is just a ball of energy, playfulness and too too adorable! I loved him. Course we didn't really spend a lot of time with the cat with the bed there and everything...
So, I really didn't want to rush into anything because with me it's the same old story/pattern of meeting someone, having sexual relations (though not going all the way) and end of any relationship whatsoever. I did not want that to happen between DB and me. Still I continued to enjoy and to take. And really got into the lip-locking sessions. Also, it felt so very nice when he just held me. When I told him what was on my mind he said he wasn't like the other guys, so only time will reveal the truth. I just hope I didn't lose one of the men I can actually hold a decent conversation with.
