Mutual Admiration Society
Today I had lunch with a new colleague for the second time...and although he's married, we're clearly in love!
Don't get me wrong people... I have conviction and my moral fiber is intact - Married Men Are OFF LIMITS. I would never do anything inappropriate there. I respect the sanctity of the institution. I even know his lovely wife (turns out we used to work for the same company).
But here's a guy who is smart, cute and funny and just as interested in me as I am in him. There's no denying it. We click.
I felt bad that we lingered so long over lunch. There I was, just yapping away. I felt guilty that I kept him from his work and that I played hooky for as long as I did just to spend a little extra time with him at the restaurant, but when I got back to my office (7 miles away from his) there was already an email from him singing my praises.
Yes, I have already asked if he has a brother.
There are two.
*sigh*... Both married.
The thing is, it's so lovely to bask in his company. All his praise makes me feel like it's a no brainer that I'm still single, because after all... from his perspective I'm an incredible catch.
Except for that whole being married part, he's exactly what I'm looking for in a guy. Even if he's off-limits ...and that's VERY reassuring to know I'm so appealing. :)

Hi MD,
Be careful here! You are teasing yourself and tormenting yourself with something you can't have. Sometimes when an itch gets unbearable you have to scratch it :-)
Glad to see though that you have a nice friendship going, even if you are drivin yourself probably crazy by catching up with him :-)
I am getting closer to the end of the dates of your blogs and i am interested to find out what has happened to you since writing this blog all those years ago. It's great to have found the love of blogging and reading everyone's little lives haha :-) I really enjoy it and it sure is a great distraction from studing.
regards, A
