I met a guy through work, Marten. He comes in an orders a 32 oz. strawberry hulk pretty frequently.

The way I actually first encountered him was on the road. A big obnoxious baby blue truck cut me off on my way to work. I have a good deal of road rage. I was going to attempt to pass him but I thought forget it since I was heading to work. I turned at the light and so did he. I was going behind Smoothie King to park when the driver turned right and parked. When I went inside (through the back) I realised the truck was parked in front of Smoothie King and there were a few coustomers inside.

There was an older guy in the store and he was dressed nice. The truck had a Texas license plate and he seemed like a Texan (the worse kind of drivers). I was kind of short with him since he had just cut me off. As he walked out of the store I snorted to myself, "Yeah just get in your fancy truck." I was explaining my anger to a co-worker as I noticed the man didn't get in the baby blue Ford. I felt like an idiot and waited on Marten explaining my embarassing situation. He sympathized and thought it was funny, then admited to be the owner of the Ford.

That's how we met, over a month ago now.

He got my number a few weeks ago. We have been planning to do stuff although it has never gone through. Until tonight.

Tonight we went to a local pizza joint with a few of his friends.

He looked different then how I had ever seen him before. Button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, nice khaki shorts, grey new balances, and a brown leather bracelet and necklace. He looked nice. Very nice. I enjoyed his company and joked around with his friends (one which I dated oh- way back in the day).

It was kind of weird in a way. We really had no physical contact. I greet all my friends with a hug so that seemed semi-awkward not to. Or to not even tell him bye with a hug and a few physical jokes.

I had a good time. I'm kinda hoping he will call soon.

I was suppose to see Tyler this Saturday in his home town. He hasn't called so I have no clue on the status of that trip?
