The Next Step

I took the next step and called a new person--J. No last name yet. We talked, it was good. Not so exciting. I realize that finding someone with comparable education is important, or attractive. I hate to be superficial that way, but learning that he went to a local school instantly made him seem so provincial. It's unfair because he could be more worldly than me, but that's the impression I felt. Then, when he found out what I do, I could hear/feel the gasp of impressiveness/intimidation to "oh, that's cool..." grasp for confidence.

All in all, it was a normal talk. He's into music, so that automatically makes him intriguing. If not for that, I wouldn't really pursue him any further.
