So, apparently he called me from his cab on his way home from the airport. He'd been gone two weeks, and while we haven't yet had a "proper" date (dragged him home one night; subsequently the old "I'll be at this bar, let's meet up" happened twice since then, making it 3 overnites), we had both expressed interest in doing that - a real date - when he got back in town. I got home last night afterwork and two after-work beers, and there was the message. So, he's back in town, but not even home yet, and he calls - that's a good sign, right?
