Dear Roger; Custom Made Man Or is God Playing Pranks?

Okay, I went on a date with "Eastern Promises" accent guy! We met over at a bar near my place and talked for a few hours and it was interesting and exciting and a huge deal to me because I actually managed to psyche myself up enough to follow though and actually go out and meet the guy. It was very hard to sit across from him and talk to him when all I could thing about was how I would really rather drag him out to the back of his car for a quick and dirty. Yeah, its been a long time and I have sex on the brain. I thought I wasn't interested in a relationship and really I am not into a long draw out courtship kinda thing and he is actually an old fashioned , traditional, take it slow kinda guy.He was cute,didnt speak a whole lot of English and has had an interesting life, but I just dont know. I feel like I am car shopping. The whole thing was kinda awkward and weird and we really didn't have a lot to talk about when it got down to it, so I politely looked at my phone, commented he looked tired, and said that I should be getting home. He insisted on escorting me,which I found amusing, and we went our separate ways. He may or may not show up for coffee tomorrow morning, but I am fine with that because I had such an interesting thing happen today.

I got a message in my Gmail account from a guy, and it said, " hey" And included with the message was a picture of a guy in a banana suit. I was intrigued. I figured if he was crazy enough to send me that, then "Why not?" So I emailed him back. We spent the rest of the day talking back and forth and its like he was designed for me. He is snarkily funny, weird and he understands when I use 3 syllable words. He likes Bukowski and Waits and he even backed up those claims by citing his favorites selections and we DISCUSSED!! It was amazing. He is in the same career field I was in and we have so much in common it blows me away. I cannot believe he is real. He even admitted liking the 100 Monkeys. No straight, normal, grown man admits liking them, but he was even able to discuss lyrics and songs and such. I was stunned and a little afraid I was being set up. Maybe someone is playing a sick joke on me and he is an amalgamation of all my dream men in one perfect creature. His picture shows a fit looking fella,with eyes that gleam with mischief, but his face is not clear in the picture. Im not so worried about his looks, his brain is interesting and his humor is great and I am so thrilled to have someone to talk to. We went from emailing back and forth to texting back and forth and we are meeting this week to have a date. I am excited. I hope hes real. But if not, its just another step along the path that has been exciting and invigorating.

Its been fun and I am enjoying just talking to men again if nothing else.
