The next morning, it clicked. While catching up over hangover bagels, I told Jon about meeting his friend Gary, and how I had totally talked to him for five whole minutes.

“Who? Do you mean Harry?”

“No no, Gary. The guy with glasses in the white button-down.”

“Yeah, that’s Harry. I don’t know a Gary. Who’s named Gary anymore?”

That’s when I finally figured out that Harry-not-Gary was the guy who messaged me on OkCupid months ago. And, that meant he thought I was cute, at least online. He’d talked to me for five minutes in real life, which meant he thought I was cute and not incredibly boring.

I sat staring agape at my bagel, putting the pieces together like a detective whose case just cracked wide open.

“He’s a really good guy,” Jon affirmed.

Given the evidence at hand, and the fact that I’d been the unresponsive jerk who’d ignored his message months ago, I decided to go ahead and add Harry as a Facebook friend. Next, I took it a step further, sending him a carefully crafted bashful message, saying something along the lines of, “Really nice talking to you the other night. PS: Sorry I ignored you.” And, because he was indeed a good, not-generic, not-icky guy, he responded by asking me out. We had our first date a few days later at a Japanese restaurant in the East Village. After a couple hours of talking I found myself so nervous and excited by his sweet, subtle humor that I pulled the old make-out trick. We kissed on First Avenue, then in a taxi, then at his apartment. When I finally pulled away and told him I had to go home, he smiled sadly.

“Really? Why?”

“I want to see you again, okay?”

“Well, good, because you’re gonna.”

He pulled me back in close and locked eyes with me. Not for a second did I want to look away.
