Thomas
Looking back on my notes, I think Thomas benefited from an early mover advantage because I honestly cannot remember meeting him though his card indicates that I did.
He was a writer tuned tradesman. As we’ve previously established, I found the brainy blue collar types appealing so I’m sure that played a role in why I chose to call Thomas. But there isn’t much else to make him stand out from the other callers. He liked my movie choices, was a few years older, looked like one of the stars of TV show Thirty Something and claimed to be capable of being witty, etc… in less than 90 seconds.
Thomas’s message was not bad but also not spectacular. Perhaps that was how it was in person. That I cannot remember him tells me that though we didn’t make a love connection he also did not disappoint me or freak me out. I’ll choose to remember Thomas as a nice guy whom I’m glad took a chance on calling me and that I had the opportunity to meet. And I think that is something to appreciate of anyone who comes into our lives no matter how briefly.
