Shrink or Pimp?

Thank God for my shrink *. Not only does she help me with breakthroughs, more on that soon, but she helps me keep track of my potential suitors. I've been really busy lately and been getting pretty hot and heavy with this one guy, on-phone-Josh. We still haven't met, but we will tonight! Look out for my report back. And, as long time readers know, I've vowed to really date and not put all my ova in one basket.

But today, when my shrink asked me "what about the lawyer from Washington Heights," it took me a few seconds to realize what and whom she was talking about. I totally forgot about online Wilson who I met online. We've gotten to second base-- talked on the phone-- a couple of times now. But he still won't make real a move. He still hasn't suggested we get coffee or talk on the phone. All he says is
he's looking forward to hearing from me. That's nice! I look forward to hearing you tell me you look forward to hearing from me! I'm newly old fashioned and have recently decided to filter out potential awkward disasters by talking to a guy on the phone before deciding whether I actually want to meet him. I'm also all about not putting myself out there, because I'm trying to play by
The Rules, like a good "Rules Girl." At the same time, I'm not interested in maintaining a pen pal relationship (with anyone who's not incarcerated.) So I think I'm going to be do some gender bending role reversal and ask him if he wants to engage in some digital sex and exchange numbers. Too soon?
