a study in reverse dating

a bit ago i met a guy at Parlor who was both hot and intriguing - let's call him Stash. we exchanged numbers and on friday i got a text that he wanted to hang out.  after failed attempts to meet up at bars and restaurants through the night, i got a late night invitation to "watch a movie" at his place. being the rational person i am, i weighed the pros and cons for the good part of an hour (in a mostly sober state of mind), then decided to drive to the boonies of san francisco at 3AM to take him up on the offer.  (i think the conclusion i finally came to was something along the lines of: i'm gonna go because i can...ooh and then i can blog about it. yea, totally rational i know.) 

so the "movie" was "watched", and needless to say, resolution #2 was broken. Or...was it?  i saw Stash again today and enjoyed getting to know him over lunch.  obviously there isn't much promise for a real connection when you sleep with someone the second time you see them, but since it's convenient, i'll volunteer myself for a case study in reverse dating - to see whether any sort of meaningful friendship / relationship can come out of sleeping with someone first, getting to know them later. hopefully i'm calloused enough that i'll be able to observe objectively and not get hurt by false hope.

this should be fun.
