"So are you some full couple now?"
"No, not some full couple, jeez."
Huh, even as I said this I wondered what exactly we were. Sure, it hadn't been discussed, but as we said goodbye he smiled, held me close and kissed me. "I've got football tonight, but can I see you tomorrow?" As if the asumption was that barring football, he would see me tonight if he could. And so, unable to broach this topic with him, I consulted my best available sources.
"I don't know what to call him, to be honest, I mean, is he my boyfriend? I don't know."
"Yes, but given that you've seen him three times in the past three days and are seeing him tomorrow and probably Friday, I don't think you would be out of line in calling him your boyfriend."
"Sure, but its too soon to have a boyfriend out of this. This all just happened so fast."
"Nah, I mean, wasn't that fast, ok sure the relationship part was, but the rest of it was pretty even."
"Sure, you're right."
Hmmm, I'm still not so convinced.
"So what, you saw it all, give me the perspective from the outside."
"Well, we talked about it on the way home from the club, the body language, the way he kissed you hello when he arrived... he's clearly smitten with you."
Well, nobody likes to argue with that.
And today its sifting through articles and abstracts, trying to send off an essay I'm unhappy with and finish up enough so I can see him tomorrow night before my week of visitors. I have a mattress to follow up upon and furniture rearrangement to plan. I have articles to read and negotiations to prepare for. But I can't help but wonder if getting off the gossip wagon will make me boring... hopefully not for a while. That's a new criteria to add to the list: helping to keep things as interesting as they would be without him.
