Thought Jeffrey was gone from my life, but he was just at a different pace than me. He arranged this date, and was super sweet!
He picked me up at 1pm. Actually he was 10 minutes early, and just waited. We had some tea by Blim, the silk screen print shop. Walked around Chinatown, then headed to Blim.
Blim was a very interesting place! Full of crazy. The instructor Yuriko was pretty eccentric (in her video, not so much in person). The assistant pilot was a bit loopy too. As he helped us pick out our shirts, he kept showing us his ass crack. They are both very nice though.
Jeffrey had wanted to learn to screen print, and so have I! And I had wanted to make that “Patio Furniture” shirt, so it was a double dream come true for me! He made a “West of Denman” shirt with awkward hand holding. It was pretty funny and cute too. It was such a good idea for a date!
He ended up picking glow in the dark, pink, and black for his colours. Haha. His hand gestures are a bit gay too actually.
I did 4 colours on mine, and it looked quite good!
After that, we browsed some stores in Chinatown; some nice menswear, and a really weird store with old stuff. Old phones, old cameras, old maps, old taxidermy.
After that, we went to Bodega, for a squid ink seafood paella! We both ended up with black teeth and lips and fingers. I think I turned goth.
Overall it was a fun day!
He was quite cute. Very sweet. Very thoughtful. Very generous. Funny.
The only thing is, I compare him to Jeff. Sigh. Jeff is really smart. Jeffrey is smarter than average, but probably not as smart as me. Definitely not as smart as Jeff, because Jeff is probably genius level.
But, I’ve never met Jeff. And Jeffrey has lots of amazing qualities, such as being more emotionally steady and stable. Very reliable. Eats healthy (pescatarian).
He didn’t make any move on me. There’s nothing that suggested that he was checking me out. He hugged me at the end. That’s it.
Jeff was so intense, so passionate, so funny, so smart. Gosh I miss those qualities. I know that if we tried we’d still not work…but I really like those qualities.
Jeffrey is a kind person, probably patient. He is able to stay at job for 16 years, and be in long term relationships (8, 9 years). I don’t know if I like that he is at a job that he entered 16 years ago though.
Oh and he asked me what I wanted. I said, I’m seeking a soulmate. He said he sees himself as having a family, with 8 kids. haha.
Realistically, I think he is great, and I want us to be friends. Good friends. I like spending him with him. I just don’t think he is the one, because he is not spontaneous enough, and he is not so smart that I can be his number one fan.
But I really like him. I really do. And today my sales are good. And I worked out (21 day fix, dirty 30). I feel very grateful and happy!
