Sunday night past (catch up post)

Interesting experience last Sunday night. Concert night. M had contacted me a couple weeks prior wondering when the next Chorale concert might be and speaking of how it had been a long time since she'd heard us.... Then asked for 2 tix and said she would plan to be there.  Fine with me, and I also let B know and she was ok with it too.... So, with 2 tix, I figured M must be bringing a date. I thought it was interesting that she had finally surfaced in this way. It's actually been a while since I got any crazy messages of any sort from her. They've been few and civil and curt. But not crazy. So, I thought that might be some marginal life progress, LOL. And, as long as she was coming this way, I put in an order for soap and lotion.

So, during the concert, I observed that much of the time M had a pretty grim look on her face. Clearly looked stressed.... I suspect she thought it would be "easier" than it apparently was on her emotionally to be there.  I also observed that I recognized her date!!

After the concert ended, at the back of the church I encountered her and her date (B was likely in the other room or with her mother.....). M courteously introduced Dan (I had recollected his name began with D). I didn't let on that I had met him in the past and he didn't say anything to that effect either. (He had dated a tall, pretty soprano for several years. She's been long gone from the group and I cannot remember her name.) Just found it interesting. Meanwhile, M was showing a great deal of urgency in getting gone. Explained she didn't have my order yet and would bring it to my area later in the week. Meantime I could see the redness of her eyes - she clearly had been on the verge of tears for some period... Sad that this was tough on her, here 4 years later!!

So, that was one interesting thing.....

Another was Carrie - a young soprano who I had wondered if she was flirting with me.... had a boyfriend in attendance at the social after. Whew. Sure glad I hadn't conducted myself in any kind of foolish old man way with her!! Would not want to be the "creepy older guy". LOL. 

Truly, I had thought in various ways that this young maybe not even 30 y.o. lady had been flirtatious with me and I had wondered what to do with that. Flattering.... An interesting idea. Comes from a very nice family, mom and bro sing with us as well..... So it was just as well to discover she has a BF and he's serious enough to be shown in public (although quite a bit more unkempt than I might have expected).

So there was actually a bit of relief on my part to discover that I was probably misreading friendliness.... and fortunately hadn't acted on my "misreading".

Then again, some women like much older guys...... hmmmmm......
