Okay - from the IXNAY thread.

Remember the guy I bumped into in the restaurant? He was having dinner with his parents who are neighbors and friends of my sister. She and her other neighbor who is best friends with his mom have wanted to set us up for some time.

I have known him from running from some time back. He is nice - a single dad.

Well, my sister calls tonight and wanted to know if it is okay to give him my number. She goes on and on with details and is more excited than me. But I did say yes to that.

So will keep you all posted. I mean, he could be just wanting to ask me something about running. Not jumping to conclusions.

I'm sure he's asking for your number so he can ask you out. But I like to jump to conclusions.

Keep us posted... i think I'm getting excited too.

This sounds very promising. I hope he does ask you out. If he asks you to go running, then he's playing it safe and trying the soft approach to asking you out.

Okay - update. He called and explained he wants to ask me about my sport - he wants to get into it. We talked for a while. And now he is going to call back and ask me for coffee to talk some more!!

I don't know - will see how it goes...........but I do think that is a good approach. Be friends/activity partners. See what happens.

No crazy train - I threw away the conductor's hat!! :-P

Well we haven't gotten the plans laid out yet for the coffee.

He said that if I wanted to get together to call him - and I said I would love to get together just call me when you want to go.

I threw the ball right back in his court on that one. I want HIM to call ME. He said okay - I think he liked that!!

So I will keep you posted. My sister will probably have a story about what her neighbors are saying - it is too funny that his parents are her neighbors and her other neighbor's good friends.

At first she confused his name with the guy I used to like and she got so confused trying to sort it out. And now she is giving me all these lectures to be nice and give him a chance and how he comes from a nice family and blah blah blah.

And the funny thing is that I am not really in the mood to be dating - I mean - since I took first place at my event I am so into training and planning more events. Will meet with the coach this weekend to discuss the long term goals.

I made sure he knows that I am off the deep end with the sport. I think he liked that.

But I do believe in being true to yourself and open about how you really are. And if they like it fine and if not fine. That is totally a change about how I was.

If he is right for you, he will never be jealous or resentful of the time you might spend training or racing. He will respect the time and energy you put in, and won't make you choose between an afternoon with him, or your usual afternoon of training.

He sounds interested- but if you are as "in deep" with your training/racing as you say- then he might be faced with deciding if he likes being second-string to the athletics if he wants to be with you.

It all sounds promising though! And as you know- it's never a bad thing to have another friend for activities, even if you don't end up a couple. :-)

That's smart to put the ball back in his court. Let him do the calling.

Well. Well, well, well.

West and the restaurant guy, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g....

Just kidding. First of all, I like what you write, both about him, and about you.

You were smart not too assume too much to begin with, keep your cool while talking to him, and be true to yourself about how into your sport you are. If a guy can't handle that, he isn't the right guy for you.

He was smart to call after he knew you knew he had your number. Smart to agree to call back instead of playing some cheesy little game about who ought to call whom. Another thing I really like is that you already know you have something in common, the sport, and by meeting at a coffee shop instead of a racetrack, you'll have an opportunity to talk about other things you might have in common instead of just running.

So, everything's good so far, keep us posted.

Moody- who really wants a cup of coffee now
