Thanks EJ. I'm trying to keep my emotions in check. It's hard, though. Before I met this guy, my colleague saw him checking me out and pointed him out to me and I thought he was very attractive. Then, I came face with him a week ago and he was looking at me and I felt my knees go completely weak and I sort of floated away without saying a word. I knew I was in trouble at that point. It has been SO many years (about 10 years actually) since a man has had that kind of effect on me -- just by looking at me. When I got the e-mail from him asking me to lunch, I was in the middle of a meeting. I read the e-mail, felt all giddy and totally lost my train of thought and my intern asked me why I was blushing. Grrrr... I hate feeling this way. It's scary.

I have left it up to him to make all the first moves and I plan to continue doing that. I'm not going to wear my heart on my sleeve... but he makes me feel swoooony... and I wish he didn't. I'm so damn nervous right now!

I should have known he would turn out to be a musician. Only musicians can have this effect on me.
