foreign fever

i've got it. i don't really know where it came from, but i've got it.

lately all the men i find remotely interesting seem to hail from other countries. i find the orange county, ca perspective a bit limited and narrow-minded, and i appreciate that these foreign men bring with them a broader world view, greater (more diverse) life experience, and, of course, accents.  so after two years of not finding any man particularly compelling, there are now two who have peaked my interest.

tonight i spent some time getting to know the second. he is a new addition to my social sphere and it's been four months since we met (and last saw each other), so i wasn't entirely sure what to expect.  turns out, it was as perfect an evening as i could have hoped for, with the likely possibility of more to come. it also brings the possibility of some uncharted waters, but, one 'getting to know you' dinner at a time.

tonight the food satisfied, the conversation flowed, the laughter bubbled, and the gentleman was a gentleman.
