Okay, it was only a first date. I know this. I am a rational, realistic person. But I’m also one of those people who wants what he wants, and he wants it when he wants it, which is now.
He is in Baltimore. I am in Washington.
We’re both at a very busy time of the year with our work — he with rehearsals, me working until midnight on conference preparations.
So, why am I frustrated and muddled that I won’t be able to see him again for a week? After all, it’s not like unemotional and rational me to be so drawn to someone I only just met, is it?
Oh, my old friend frustration… you come in many forms, don’t you?
