I suppose this is the part where I sell myself, right?
I think I'll just read you a poem, because it's such a gorgeous poem. And you get extra credit if you know who wrote it! Wink
"I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving
but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close."
As for a date, somewhere public. Preferably a place or activity that is fun and entertaining on its own. Like a gallery or shopping or an activity. That way it can be fun even if we don't have any chemistry. And understand that at any point either one of us has the right to say Lets just be friends." Chemistry in person is tricky and sometimes unpredictable. That's just life.
