Up, Down and All Around

New Txtmate

I don't know what's up, but all of a sudden, I have a new textmate.

Met this guy a couple of weeks ago at a party. Exchanged no more than five sentences with him before our host arrived, then seated us at opposite ends of the same table. As the evening wore on, I was actually quite happy because it looked like he was hitting it off with his seatmate, who happens to be one of my friends.

So I was a bit puzzled to learn yesterday that he has asked a common friend for my number, and even more puzzled to receive a "hi, hello" text message from him today.

It's really strange. I meet new people all the time and this is probably the first time a guy has taken the trouble to find my number after meeting me at a party. I mean, I'm not ugly but I'm not a head turner either. So this is a new and different experience.

Oh well. I'm not going to complain. At least he doesn't weird me out, and I actually don't feel dismay when his text messages come in.
