Catch and Release

There was a certain sense of excitement at Steak-Palace last night.
I was really looking forward to hanging out with the boy after work, and not for the usual reasons. I was excited to see him and find out how his week has been. I was surprised to see he was just as excited as I was.
It is no secret that I like him, even though he has inquired several times, I usually just laugh it off or quickly change the subject matter. There are plenty of reasons why he is probably not a very good choice for a lover: He's very young, into the perception that everyone has of him and is still dating several girls.
That should have been more then enough reason for me to turn and run away in the opposite direction—it wasn't.
After several beers and the usual small talk, we made our way back to my place to smoke some greens and get some sleep. Cut to staying up until 4:30 in the morning laughing—no sex. That's right, six dates, and no sex... this is unusual enough in the straight world, never mind the land of the gays.
I suppose it is for the best anyway, young and virile is great in theory— but sometimes just a little too hard to invest in.
