Another Round

Jerry is back in town. He is visiting Chicago for a month. The first night he got in I was supposed to pick him up from the airport. Since Jerry's flight was delayed I wasn't sure when it was that I would be summoned. I promised that I would be at the airport as long as he let me know what time. I didn't answer when he called, but he left a message to be there at 11pm, so I was. Apparently that was not enough, because Jerry had called another friend to pick him up as well. I was circling the airport waiting for someone who didn't trust I would be there. I followed Jerry and his friend back in my car, and we went out after that. Since we got off to a late start we were out until almost 7am. This time when Jerry got drunk he didn't go insane like the first time I met him. Mostly he was just loud and happy. When it comes to me, however, Jerry is very conflicted. He likes me, and wants to be with me, but since I won't commit to a long distance relationship with him, he doesn't know what to do. Even though what I want right now is to find a boyfriend I don't feel like the long distance relationship would really fulfill me. I need face time with the guy I see. Physical contact is a necessary perk to having a boyfriend. I plan on making sure I have time with my man. Jerry can only give me that for a month. A month is not enough. As for the other guys right now, I have three in play. One is Dutch who has lived all over the world. He speaks 4 languages, and 2 we have in common. I will meet with him today. Another is a math teacher in the city. He and I are supposed to meet up on Sunday. Both of them are over 6' tall, so at least I know I will not feel like a giant next to them. There is also a high school basketball coach, and a risk manager for some large corporation. Those guys have yet to be spoken with on the phone. If at the end of going out with these 4 guys nothing clicks, considering the 4 others I previously went on dates with, I think it will be time for me to take a break from dating. 0/8 are terrible odds, and I wouldn't want to go for more after that. So I guess I have 4 down, and there are 4 more to go.
