A.M. e-mail

I had two emails this morning, one from the Vegan, and the other from a guy I've yet to meet who likens himself to a cross between Adrian Brody and Bill Murray. I don't know which way to run.

But Vegan was especially cute, writing after our first date last night that he had a nice time and wanted to hang out again sometime. He made a "full disclosure" that he had some other dates next week. I wrote him back and thanked him for his candor and said I would love to hang out again and that we should keep in touch. I didn't mention that by week's end I will have had five dates. More on this later, when I can explain my "strategy".

There's actually something nice about a guy emailing to let you know he's dating other people. Especially at this stage, it shows honesty and maturity, I think. And since I'm trying to minimize the drama in my life, that sat pretty well with me.
