Meeting Pilot Boy

After nearly two years of talking via phone, Skype, text, and FaceTime on our phones, "Pilot Boy" and I finally met last night.

He flew in yesterday evening with a fly out scheduled for this morning.  I had afternoon / dinner plans with a friend yesterday so we met up after I was done with my dinner plans giving him time to get settled into his hotel room and changed out of his work uniform.

"Pilot Boy" and I talked, hung out, and had a good-night kiss.  It was a normal, well-adjusted first meeting / first date.  He was more of a gentleman than I was prepared to give him credit for which impressed me.  Of course the fact that he was dog tired and we ended up cutting the date shorter than I would have otherwise wanted is a minor detail however beggars can't be choosers...a first date / meeting is still a first date / meeting.  Especially considering what it's taken for us to get to this point of actually meeting in person.

As he was scheduled to fly from Chicago to St. Thomas for work this morning with an immediate return flight back to Chicago this afternoon and an overnight layover, we had tentative plans to meet again this evening for dinner and to hang out.  Yes, plans to meet twice in one weekend which had me surprised and impressed.  Excited even at the prospect of a second date.

But of course "Pilot Boy" pulled his usual routine of having "something suddenly come up".  This time he had an "upset stomach all day" leaving him in a position where all he wanted to do was check into the hotel and relax this evening without seeing me tonight.  Certainly I understand and respect not feeling good, especially when you're away from home, where all you want to do is curl up alone and get better.  On the flip side, I'm frustrated that he just keeps giving me what, on the one hand, could be genuine glitches to our plans or, on the other hand, could just as equally be a dose of BS crap to get out of seeing me.

I suppose only time tell with where this may lead if it in fact has any potential to lead anywhere past where we're at now.  My only hope is that he can "man up" and be honest with what he does or doesn't want in regards to me.  While I have a lot to offer, I get that I'm not the ideal woman for every guy and I'm okay with that.  But if I didn't meet his expectations after we meet in person, I just wish that he'd be honest instead of feeding me a line before heading out of town.  Is that too much to ask?
