第25节
I had a strange week. A couple of weeks ago, I met him at his house. I liked him a lot then. Last Tuesday, I saw him for the TaiJi practice. I felt a lot for him then. He drove me home. We talked. Then I couldn’t get him out of my mind. So I went ahead emailing him asking him out. We went out yesterday, and it’s not a fairy tale bing true. He came by, middle aged, balding, short*
I was instantly turned off and remembered telling myself there is no way he is to be my boyfriend. Then we went to a sandwich shop where we talked slowly, I remembered why I liked him in the first place. He’s very easy to talk to and seem to figure a lot of things out.
But I still felt weird going out with him since he’s too old. The oldest I have ever been out with. He was being a gentleman the whole time. He was very easy to hang out and he wasn’t trying to make a pass on me. I watched him wash his truck, then we went to see a movie and afterward dinner. By the dinner time, I felt that I ran out of things to say. I just wasn’t interested in saying anything at all. I rather be alone at that time.I’m just so not used to spend all the time with just one man. I was not capable of telling him what’s on my mind. The date was just too long, a whole 8-hour date. from 2p.m. to 10p.m*way too long for a first date*
就这?
就这。
这么干巴?一点也不*漫 —
本来就不是什么*漫的事嘛。
可是直到看电影时,你对他_gan觉还不错的嘛,说他“侧面的笑容迷人极了” —-
那是在电影院嘛。电影院特殊的灯光,忽明忽暗,此明彼暗,比月光还能藏拙,比高级化妆师还能美化人。看不见头顶,看不见皱纹,看不见身高,看不见小腹,只看见侧面。还有电影本身,爱情片,煽情,让你不自觉地jin_ru一个比实际更美的人工世界 —-
看来电影院产生的印象靠不住。
太极班产生的印象也靠不住。
孤独中产生的印象靠不住。
困难中产生的印象也靠不住。
呵呵,全都靠不住了。其实问题应该出在 DINNER 上, DINNER 时发生了什么?
DINNER ?没发生什么。
不可能吧?
真没发生什么。他让我选餐馆,我说就去意大利餐馆吧,那里情T不错。于是我们去了,从泊车一直到餐馆门口,我特意和他保持距离,匆匆地走在前面,不愿别人以为我们在约会。
餐馆里面确实很温馨,*漫,放着动听的意大利歌剧。我们在靠厨_F_的一个位置坐下, 点了菜,上了菜,我们聊了会,但基本都是他在说话。
他说了些什么?
记不清了,都是些_chicken_毛蒜皮的事。只记得他说他刚到美国来的时候,有次看到个漂亮的nv孩在车里,头前前后后地摇。他看了会,觉得很可惜,这么漂亮的nv孩,可惜有这个毛病。后来他又看到好多人都那么做,以为这个城市许多人都有这个问题,也许是水有问题还是怎么的,直到有一天他自己开上了车,听着音乐,前后地摇了起来,他才恍然大悟。
SO ?
我听着,很不以为然,这么简单的事,他怎么会不知道?
看来还真是 DINNER 时出的问题。
接下来他又讲了件事,更是让我丈二和尚摸不着头脑。他说他刚来美国时,有次和一个男x朋友去参加一个 party, 去了以后看到大多数都是男的和男的在一起,还有男的坐在男的大tui上。他气坏了,恨不得当时就给那个男的一拳,后来还是忍住了。回到 hotel room, 他让他的朋友睡地板上。
SO ?
敢情以前他们两人睡一张_On the bed_的?
就这么两件事就把他在你心目中的印象搞坏了?这没什么嘛, CULTURE SHOCK 而已,一个刚从东方文化jin_ru西方文化的人,自然有很多不懂的东西。你刚来美国的时候,难道不也这么老土?
我?也很老土。
就是嘛,每个人都会有类似经历。我倒觉得他这人很坦诚,说话很低T,没有吹嘘自己,而是讲自己丢人的事,有点自嘲能力 —
其实这两件事本身我并不在乎,不然我会写在日记里。但这两件事 — 却把他从神坛上拉到地面上来了 —-
那倒也是,神怎么会有 CULTURE SHOCK ?
也许把他拉到地面的还不止这两件事,也许他同意约会就把他拉到地面上来了。好像从那时起,他头上的光环就慢慢消散了。
不过这是好事A,如果他是神,你是人,怎么可能相爱呢?
神不神的,倒没什么,只不过当他yinJ在神的光环里的时候,我看不见他的外表。一旦神的光环消逝了,我就发现他 —- 人老、个矮、头秃,很难克_fu的一种_gan觉,这不是我梦想的爱情 —
你梦想的爱情是什么样的?
嗯 — 不知道 — 但不是这样的。
