Chris whom I met at the 4th party seemed very nice. When I talked to him I must admit that I wasn't automaticly physically attracted to him. But there was something about him that I liked. It is when I meet someone like him, who seems to have it all toghether that I find something about myself that is inadiquit.
With Chris it was my lack of a car. I am always working to have it together but there is always something lacking. I am going to ask him to join a group of us for Shakespeare in the park which is across the street from both of us. Hopefully Charles will be able to get his e-mail to me by tomorrow so that I can.
I worked late for John today. I normally only work Monday and Tuesday but Rays Mother was in town and he asked that I work for him. John and I have discussed my buying Ray's air conditioner from him. He recently moved into an apartment that has central air and has an air conditioner from his previouse place that he doesn't need. We worked out a deal that I would work for Ray a couple of times and he would give me his air contioner. I already have one but it only cools off the living room. My bed room is always much warmer. This should help; August is just around the corner.
Now for the real reason I am writing this. Late this eveing as a was waiting for Charles to come over my phone rang. I thought it was Charles calling to say he was downstairs waiting but instead it was Chris from the 4th of July. He had my number that said "Jeff from across the street" and thought he would give me a call. I was still waiting for Charles to call but talked to Chris for a couple of minutes. He mentioned that he was having a party in a month or so and wanted to invite me but thought I was a ways away so we talked some more and I segetsted we go to dinner later in the week. What a stupid thing to say. It is already Wednsday how much "later " is there.
The combination of my stupid commint, the unexpectedness of the call, my waiting for Charles to show up and most importantly my desire not to stick my foot in my mouth again made me rush the conversatoion. I really shoud have relaxed and talked w/ him more. In the conversation about going out we decided to get together on Friday. He then quickly said something about others could come along if I wanted. This was a polite way of saying that this wasn't a date.
Tonight I was going to go to dinner w/ Chris. I called him as arranged last night to set a specific time and place but he didn't answer. I wasn't sure how gung ho he was for this dinner anyway. So my plans got changed. I am now going shopping w/ Charles. We had planned to go on Saturday morning but there is a stereo on sell that I want and I have been apprehensive all week long. I'm afraid if I don't go get it at the first possible time they will have sold out of them. So Charles agreed to take me tonight. I will be getting a vacuum cleaner then also. So I will still have a fairly full evening. The rest of the weekend also looks fairly busy which I am looking forward to also.
