Recently I had an encounter of epic proportions with a very unlikely Larry. Nice Larry. This Larry and I met through friends and after agreeing to our first date, I quickly discarded him as "boring Larry." Six months later he has proven to be Persistent Larry and has put on a full court press.
When I first met Larry he told me his alter ego was James Bond. Not sure I'm in agreement, but I'll give him points for the high aspirations and preference of martinis. After a couple group outings however, I started to pay closer attention to previously discarded Larry. With each encounter, Larry came more and more out of his shell and I started thinking, wow, maybe there is a James Bond in there. I decided to give Larry a one on one. We go out for dinner and all seems to be going OK. Not great, but OK. After the date we end up at his place on the couch and the making out ensues. I can feel Larry’s heart racing. But not like a normal race, almost beating out of his chest, heart-attack racing. We end up lying on the couch with Larry on top of me, at this point it’s heart pounding and he is shaking. What! At this point i'm thinking, I knew he liked me, but this is a bit much. Finally, not understanding what i was going on I said to Larry, honey, you have to breathe.
Push forward two days later and I’m still thinking about the incident. Could Larry be a virgin? Was he trying to lose it to me on the sly? Finally I could take it anymore and asked. Sure enough, Larry is a 29-year old virgin. Now I’ve heard stories that guys that work in the tech industry eat, sleep and breathe computers, but I never realized this wasn’t a myth. Per Larry, he has been so deep into his computer for work, he hasn’t had “time” to make it happen. Not certain how to interpret this and still lost as to my next steps. I hate to discard the guy due to his purity, but I write for a dating blog, can't hardly imagine how I’m compatible with a “virgin.” Though stranger things have happened.
Suppose this is a new type of James Bond. L.A., you have left me speechless again. Larry and I remain in contact and i'm optimistic, but can a girl teach a guy all the tricks he needs or does he need multiple girls to really figure it out. Arg.
