Mr. Hospitality

So I met bachelor number 1 this afternoon. We met in the park and walked around a bit. The conversation flowed fairly easily, but in the beginning there are tons of questions about each other's past that make keeping the flow easy (for me at least). I can say that he doesn't suck. He is tall (thankfully), medium build, and fairly cute. We were both very relaxed around each other. After about an hour and a half we started walking back towards where I had parked my car. I assumed that he would be walking me to my car, and heading out to "hang with the guys" for the evening. He actually threw me for a loop by suggesting we get a drink in the area. Extending a first date is usually a good sign. Ending it at that moment would have been exceptionally simple. I was excited to see that he was interested. Since Eric works in hospitality I knew that I couldn't gauge his interest level by his willingness to hold a conversation (the same applies to me, and most guys do not get the memo). When we finally said goodbye, he suggested that we talk on the phone soon. Unfortunately he leaves to over seas in 8 days, and he will be gone until the beginning of August. I will have to wait until then to really get to know Eric. In the meantime I will have my hands full with the other 3 guys. Also, one of my rogue guys from my past (we met about a year ago, but had lost contact) has resurfaced. We will be meeting up for drinks in the next week or so. With him, however, I feel like there is a likeliness that things may be flirty, but will not develop past that point. There is also another wild card, who is a musician I met last Thursday night (at my friend's show). There was a certain amount of flirtation, but nothing overt. This next month should be pretty interesting. I will have to see what develops.
