I know what you’re all here for, so I’ll spare you the flowery prose and just get to the meat of the matter

More gorgeous than his pic.

Incredible eyes I couldn’t help but keep sneaking peeks at.

Some of the most beautiful man hands I have ever seen.

A voice you could listen to forever and a day.

A genuine sweetness and sincerity with a liberal dose of innocence coming across in waves.

We met for dinner at 6.

We said our good nights at 8:45.

He said to give him a call.

I said he was welcome to do the same.

But truthfully, I doubt we’ll ever talk again — he’s way out of my league.

Have a great weekend everybody.

  1. You looked into his eyes, he smiled back. You watched the time fly by too quickly. You whispered your goodbyes and parted. You found it hard to sleep thinking about him. Guess what? “People will say you’re in love”. Jeremy Pivens himself isn’t too good for you. You are a fantastic man. Handsome, smart, and so funny. A killer trio that no smart man could resist. If he doesn’t call you back soon, he is a fool. How was the Pizza? Who paid for dinner? why was “Lost” a rerun? haha.

  2. Don’t count yourself out!

  3. I agree with Lemuel. Let him determine you aren’t for him…you just worry about if he’s for you. Maybe he’s a sucker for tall guys with rockin blogs!

  4. C’mon Dirk! Give yourself some credit here. You enjoyed the evening, and he surely did, too. If you don’t think you’re ‘good enough’ for him, he’ll pick up on that! Give him a call in a couple days (or is etiquette now three days? I’m in a quandry!)and see how it goes. Just smile (just like on Fantasy Island) and project to him that you’re a confident, well-adjusted guy that he’d be crazy not to want to know more. Your readers have faith in you—and you should, too!
    Just remember—it may turn out that you’re out of HIS league!

  5. Catrina nailed it exactly. You have the same shot as everyone else does, and maybe a better shot just because it’s you. You decide that you want to proceed, let him decide if he doesn’t.

  6. New rule: No doubting until three days after a date. If you had a nice time, just enjoy thinking about it for awhile.

    How was the conversation?

  7. I can’t add anything to what the others have already said, except that if this guy had no intention of seeing you again, he’d have said “I’ll call YOU.” But he invited you to call HIM.

    So please tell us you’re going to?

  8. Did you make him laugh? We all know how damn funny you can be. I bet you’re in.

  9. You TOTALLY underestimate yourself! You are a catch! One day I hope you can see this too!

  10. 2 hours and 45 minutes is a very good sign. I once downed a glass of wine in 30 seconds in order to finish a date quickly.

    An I HATE wine.

  11. Thanks for getting right to the details. It is, of course, what we all want to hear.
    He sounds dreamy. You must go out with him again if the opportunity presents itself. You haven’t yet found the quirk(s) that make him 1) even more adorable or 2) incredibly annoying. (or you haven’t blogged about them if you did) He needs more blog posts. He’s just too dreamy to let this drop without a fighting chance.
    Do me a favor. Look in the mirror, slap yourself in the face and tell yourself “BULL SHIT!” You don’t know that he’s out of your league yet. Find out, and give yourself a fighting chance. I said “fighting!” Stand up!

  12. Yeah, don’t count yourself out, and Yay for a positive experience.

  13. Do you know that at this moment he is typing the exact same post that you typed. He thinks he’s out of your league and you have to call him to let him know that you want to see him again. You deserve a Pivinish man!

  14. Unless you got a CLEAR SIGNAL that you are “out of his league” from him, how do you know for sure?

    Faint heart never won fair lady!

  15. I will tell you what my BFF told me in an ever so fantastically sarcastic tone of voice:
    You should totally start hating yourself right away!

  16. Sounds like you had a nice date. I bet you’re not out of his league, if he thought that he more than likely wouldn’t have met you to begin with…

  17. You need a shot in the arm of self esteem! You’re cute and very funny and he obviously liked you or he wouldn’t have told you to give him a call. So now do it! BTW, why do you think he’s out of your league? Because he seems nice and normal? Well you deserve someone “out of your league”.

  18. You’re good enough
    You’re smart enough
    You’re adorable enough
    And goddamnit people love you.

  19. And um are you sure he is gay because I might want a crack at him after THAT steamy dreamy post.

  20. Dirk, I read this blog faithfully every damn day. Today, I just want to shake you. You are a serious catch based on your sense of humour alone but you also have intelligence, good looks, sensitivity and so very much more to add to that! You have so very much to offer yet you continuously sell yourself short. Self-deprecation is endearing but NOT when it could cause you to miss out on something amazing because you feel you aren’t “enough”. So pull up your big girl panties, wipe your nose, clear your throat, and call this devilishly handsome man and ask him out again! And do it like you DESERVE him! Because you DO deserve him (as long as he is worthy of YOU that is)!

  21. *whap* snap outavit!

  22. I’m sure he wouldn’t want to go out with you again. I mean why would he. Your cute. Your employeed. Your funny. Your smart. Your witty. Your sarcastic, in the good way. You don’t cheat. Your loyal. Your a good catch. So I’m quite sure you’ll never hear from him again. If he’s stupid. Besides, the balls just as much in your court as it is in his. Give it a couple of days and give him a call.

  23. You said he was “sincere”, and you said he told you to call him.
    Do it!
    I know where you are coming from. I get into that “out of my league” headspace way too often.
    Do it. If nothing else, it makes a good blog entry!

  24. If he said to call, call.

  25. I think the only thing that ticked me off about this post is you saying he’s out of your league.

    if anyone is out of anyone’s, you are probably out of his! you are sensational! youre amazing, sweet, funny, and someone anyone would be PROUD to look at and say, “hey, see that THAT guy right there? yeah, you like? well bitch he’s MINE! hands off dude!”

    you don’t give yourself enough credit. call him!

  26. If he thought he was out of your league, he’d have said “I’ll call you” and then he wouldn’t. But he told you to call him, right? This means he wants you to call him! I know this for a fact. Please read this: http://talesofthesissy.blogspot.com/2008/03/how-we-met.html and you’ll see why I say this.

    Mark :-)

  28. Mark said it right. And I hope you follow through…..or else!! You said not too long ago you were going to have great posts coming up and maybe “Mr. Piven” is going to be part of that stock? ;-)

  29. Oh oh oh oh oh! Hope this one turns out ok! Very good vibes so far.
