The PA

The PA. Nice boy. I say boy, even though he is 32 and older than me, but somehow I still can only call him a boy. He seemed to have a lot of quality insights, especially about spirituality, and he was obsessed with Bikram Yoga, which was impressive. He caught me in the middle of my two dates with the lawyer, so I was on an online dating high, and it took about two messages before I asked if he wanted to get drinks. We ended up having dinner, and he actually showed up in a collard shirt! Amazing! He also brought me a single red rose, which was very cute. We had great conversation, and in the middle of dinner, he wanted to hold my hands across the table. OK, a little awkward for me, but I was kind of loving the attention. Then he started in on the kissing of the hands. Ummm... ok.... just roll with it, Celine. He's just affectionate.

After dinner we walked around Hollywood a little. The kiss was actually good... not heart-stopping, but good! He held my hand, kept up that hand-kissing thing, and did the awkward walk-behind-me-with-arms-around-my-waist thing. As nice as that is, I can't stand how silly it makes people walk. So I just told him we should go back. We went to his apt and watched a movie. More kissing, and I did enjoy that. I left later, relatively happy with the date, then I started thinking about it... it felt a little odd to be soooo affectionate. Would I be able to hang with this guy at a bar with my friends, with him making out with the back of my hand?? Answer: probably not. Then it got serious...

He texted me frequently and wanted to call me every day. I had 2 events that week and the next, so I made it clear to him that I wouls be really really busy and may not be able to see him. His response was to "think outside the box" as he called it, I would call it "getting wayyy too involved in my personal space" - he wanted to come to my soccer game, come to my event, come to my house.... it was getting to be too much. I sent him a facebook message, telling him that I still had feelings for my ex, and as I know he was feeling strongly for me, it wouldn't be fair to keep dating him. I felt like I was breaking up with him. His response was "I hope this isn't a decision you'll regret" - Regret passing up a clingy, moves-to-fast, freelance Production Assistant who sells video phones on the side? Yah, that's doubtful. Thanks.

Goodbye, PA...
