Following up with Twenty-one

My friend gave me Twenty-one’s email address, so I sent him an official correspondence with the subject of date or no date.

The moments after that question were possibly the best entertainment of the evening; I hope that you are no longer in shock.  I’m actually going to be out of town for a few days, but I really would like to meet up with you when I get back if you’re up for it.  In the meantime, you can get to know me with this quick preview of things I like: bright colors, sneakers, unicorns, chocolate, books, dancing, my niece, karaoke, sarcasm, and airplanes.

The next day I got this response:

Thanks for getting in touch and yes, thank you for that out of the blue moment during our innocent game of would you rather.  That was unexpected.  You seem cool and like someone I’d like to get to know…right now though I am trying to get it off the ground with someone else, so I’m gonna see where that leads before I book anything else.  Can we be in touch in a few weeks and see where we are?

Not a no, not a yes.  It’s like waiting at the DMV; I’m just killing time and hoping that someone will call my number.
