I have two dates!

Ray on Saturday. And now Brent on Sunday. That's right, the ever-illusive Brent and I are going out on Sunday. "Sunday at four." I was informed just today. I think I am more excited to go out with Brent, as I have had a crush on him longer than I've known Ray. I don't know whether that's good or bad, but it is. I also happen to think that I am far too excited to go out with a man 16 years my senior who has three young boys. I am also excited to find out about him first hand for more than a 2 minute, passing in the hall conversation.
The plans to do something on Sunday were solidified yesterday. He rolled by my office when he came in yesterday morning and asked me to come by his office a little later. On my way to pick up lunch for the office, I popped in. He initially asked if I wanted to get together on Saturday night, but I had to inform him that I couldn't because I was busy. Knowing full well that I had asked out Ray the day before he began to give me a hard time. "Oh with the guy that you asked out the other day?" I replied with an embarrassed smile and a meek "Yes." He again informed me that he can't believe I asked someone out and it wasn't him and that his feelings were hurt. I told him very fast, that I didn't know where he was coming from, that I just didn't know. He said he didn't know where he was coming from either considering he knows my ex and they have mutual friends. He also reiterated that he would like to keep this from my ex, I agreed whole-heartedly. What he doesn't know won't hurt him. It's just a date right? He then started giving me the third degree. "What's this guy do? How old is he? Is he a nice guy? Where is he taking you on Saturday?" I was shocked at how forward he was and a little taken aback, but his nice smile and easy-going laughter quickly made me comfortable again. I said that he was the flower delivery guy, and that he was a nice guy, and he was a year older than I was. I told him sushi, he kind of smiled and said, "I guess I won't take you to sushi on Sunday then." He then, went for a jab at Ray, "Sushi, isn't that a little pricey for a flower delivery guy?" Oh God. I laughed and shruged and said "I don't know, but that's what we're doing."
This should be an interesting weekend! I cannot wait, especially for Sunday!
