During a 20-minute interaction this morning, Jim Berger:
1. Listened to me blather to a coworker about what I liked and didn't like about a film, plus interesting trivia, and didn't seem to think I was a blowhard (plus revealed he once interviewed the film's director).
2. When I mentioned I took dance, said he was a fan of my dance teacher, before knowing she was my teacher.
3. Asked me how I liked the British costume drama I saw the other night, and admitted to being the only guy in the theatre when he saw it.
Also, after a fairly shitty argument with a friend last night, I checked my email to find a message from him.
I am giggling and singing to myself. Not good.
He gets until the middle of next week to take the initiative, then I'm asking him to hang out.
I can't pass up this opportunity, even if it just turns out to be friendship. It's really tough to initiate a platonic deal with a straight guy when he's just started a new relationship. New girlfriends tend not to like new girl friends.
Go for it! Especially with his ex leaving the office.
