A Good Writer - A Good Boyfriend?

Sorry for the long span between posts. There are some nasty germs out there this season! I'd love to say I had a sweet angel (of the male variety) bringing me chicken soup and reading me love poems while I lay in bed suffering, but it just didn't happen. However, it came to mind, with this new age of dating, i.e. via Facebook, texting, IM'ing, and other non-verbal highly annoying methods, what do the communication skills say about the communicator? Is the delivery man as good as the delivery? I've been chatting in between sick spells with a new man, we'll call him Hottie. Hottie commands the English language, has excellent grammar, loves to ramble on (beyond 140 characters), and is quite attractive to me from the standpoint of articulation. I just dig bookworm nerdy types. I always have. I don't have sexual fantasies of policemen or firemen. It's the nerds. Bring on the librarian, the professor, the nuclear engineer; and off come my clothes, (in the dreams only, of course!). Anyway, Hottie had me at "Hello" with his use of words like resonate, pejorative, humility, gravitate. And this was his first two emails to me. It's gotten much deeper now, with the onslaught of at least a dozen notes, err, emails, with really complex verbiage; some of which I had to google the definitions. I just can't stand it and have to step away and inhale deeply for a moment when I read them. But, it's been a very long week and we have yet to speak in person. I was sick, now he is sick. Granted, all I want to do is comfort and console his aches and pains. Hell, I'm ready to bear his children. But, when you're older, you must adhere to some decorum, some unwritten law of appropriateness. It's a scary world they say and you just can't go too quickly in this day and age. Somberly, I linger in the shadows, wondering what our first meet will be like. Will he have the same sense of humor and command of language? Maybe he's competent at email but lousy at face to face. Maybe he'll be a drooling driveling idiot in person. Maybe he'll fall on his face in the physical department and no amount of large worldly phrases will console me if that scenario plays out. No, I will take it slow, I will listen intently, attempt to speak coherently in return (even though all I want to do upon our first meeting is jump him and slather him with kisses), and go from there. More to come I can only hope so stay tuned.
