He told me he wasn’t married and didn’t have kids, which was the same with me. He did have a dog, and that was similar too with me, since I happened to have a cat.
Before we left the cafe, I again took the initiative and asked, “Hey, you want to go to a movie with me this weekend?”
“Sure, why not?” he replied.
I had considered inviting him over to my apartment to watch a movie on Netflix, but then decided that was a bad idea because I didn’t know him well enough.
He seemed honest and good, but you never know. It was just too soon to invite him over.
Anyway, I was happy he agreed to go with me to a movie theater on Saturday, a matinee in the afternoon.
Who knows? Maybe it was the start of a beautiful relationship. Whether it would be platonic or romantic, it was hard to tell.
