They take a seat at one of the tables, again, Eric sitting to Taricâs leftâŚ
Eric-Â âTaric, I have really enjoyed myself tonight. I am glad we decided to come here. It has been like having the place all to ourselves. Â I sometimes get a little tense when there are a lot of people around anyway. So, you want another drink?
Taric-Â âNaw, Iâm good. I really donât drink too much. Â Being a bartender, I am around it enough to see what happens when you over-indulge! LOLâ
Eric-Â âYes, I bet you do! So, what are you looking for in a man, Taric?â
Taric-Â âSomeone that respects me, and themselves, I suppose. Â That is the most important part of any relationship. Respect for the other person, and for the relationship.â
Eric-Â âSo you would be looking for a monogamous relationship then?â
Taric-Â âPersonally for me, yes. Â I know some couples that have an open relationship and it works for them. Â I am just not sure I could do that.â
Eric-Â âWell, in this day and time, in the gay community, I have seen more and more of that. But, I agree, for myself I would prefer the one on one. Again, like you said respect. So, how about kids?â
Taric-Â âNot really a kid person, myself. A lot of work! You know, you raised your brother. Being a parent is a tough job. But who knows, things may change in the future.
