Not so platonic

A few entries ago i mentioned the rising number of platonic male friends i seem to have acquired. Well, i went to trivia today at the behest of my ex, Robert, as part of a team of some of his friends. Boff had indicated that he was free for a card game but i had already committed so i ended up inviting him along (he's one of those helpful people who knows lots of random things).

We came fourth and a good time was had by most (it was comedy trivia after all, there were a fair few good jokes by the compere and trivia answers). As we were leaving, Boff said thanks for inviting him... and then asked me out.

Up until this point i had suspected that he had a thing for me and then whenever we met or emailed i convinced myself it was platonic because there was nothing to suggest otherwise.

Anyway, long rambling decision-making essay short, i'm nothing if not curious so i'm going to follow this to see where it goes. I confess i don't feel any chemistry but i did consider that he'd make a great companion because he likes a lot of the stuff i like and we'd do stuff together. Is that unfair to him? I figure it's more fair than not giving it a chance at all. After all, it's just dating for now.

I texted Assie about it afterwards and she said she wasn't surprised. Need to talk to her again later and bounce a few emotions around to make sense of this odd collection of feelings i have about the situation.
