So tonight, before my class, I had coffee with T. How do you tell if sometime likes you? I thought his eyes lit up when I walked in, we chatted easily, and he walked me to my car. But then when he said "We should do this again sometime," I had the distinct impression that the subtext was, "No soap radio," in other words, thanks by no thanks.
I smiled, I walked off and got in my car and I told myself that it could be easy to come to hate dating; the people I want to go out with don't seem to want to click with me, and the ones that want me--I don't want.
I also thought about how much part of what I want is to be liked, to feel attractive and desirable, and how that parallel tracks with my thoughts on whether I like the guy. This one, while he wasn't Dream Guy, had definite possibilities, a sense he could be worth getting to know. --But who knows?
