Meet Mark

This was the last date in my dating marathon of a couple of weeks ago. At that point I was worked, toxic, and dare I say it?- almost looking forward to some nights off. When I missed my bus to the date, I did have a fleeting thought of no-showing. But I decided to quit my whining, caught the next bus, and arrived just 10 minutes late.

I'm glad I decided to man up. Mark was better-looking in person, with that great relaxed-confident vibe. Bald- not my usual flavor, but that can be rather sexy and masculine, can't it? He is 38, 6'0", a Mac Specialist for UCSF, from Ohio but has lived in SF for 14 years. We met at a very dark (always flattering- thank you, Mark!) hole in the wall for a beer, and then walked down the street for another. Great energy, easy to talk to, cool taste in music, has lots of friends, etc. Drove me home (bonus points!) and said that I should call if I wanted to join him and his friends for various fun things that weekend. Verrrry promising...
