The real life confession of Rafael Solece:
I have been dating this guy for a few months now. I know
what you’re thinking. There is always some guy. But seriously we’ve been seeing
each other for about two months now. He is a really nice guy; very much out of
the realm of what I would normally date.
He is, in a word, safe.
What I mean by that is. He is not typically what I would go
for. You know me: I like the tall dark and handsome, corporate lawyer type,
with a little jock and/or thug thrown in the mix. Very rarely do I go for the
safe alternative. What can I say? I like a little danger. But I also know that,
I haven’t had the best of luck procuring a life long partner dating those types
of men. Usually they have more thug in them than corporate lawyer. So I decided
that maybe I was acting a little insane in my pursuit of love and I thought
that perhaps it was time for a change of pace.
So when this guy asked me out on a date I decide why not, what could it hurt to go out with
him? He, however, is a (well there really is no way around this) he is a GEEK.
Not in the Steve Urkle, type of way. He is just extremely smart, and corny, and
sappy, and kind of clingy. Okay maybe he is does share some Urkle-ish traits.
But he is a really nice guy. I have fun with him.
That is when he is not coming on extremely strong and trying
to force himself down my throat. Other than that he is a very nice guy to hang
out with. And up until recently I have felt more than satisfied with the
direction that our dating relationship
has gone. We are still in that three month Getting
to know you probationary phase.
Which is why I am a little vexed about why it is that he
would invite me to go along with him on a doctors appointment. Now I don’t know
what your thinking, but I personally felt that that was a little intrusive. I
mean don’t get me wrong. We’ve had the talk about STD’s and HIV status. But I
personally think that me accompanying some one I am only dating to a doctors
visit that is not an emergency situation is a little unorthodox. Especially
being that we have only been dating two months and we have not yet reached a
point where we can call our relationship exclusive. He freaked me out a little
bit. I mean it seems to me that that is something that you do with someone you
are more or less in a committed relationship with and not some random guy you
have only known for all of two months.
Is it me? Or is that
just too much, too soon?
Doctor’s visits are personal and private matters. It’s like
going to the bathroom. I don’t want the guy I am casually dating to come into
the bathroom and start brushing his teeth while I am taking a shit. It is just
wrong: wrong and weird.
