I met Daniel at a Billy Joel Concert in Central Park two years ago. We were both alone and wandering through the crowd listening to the music. I remember it being so crowded but there were pathways cutout through the crowd to walk and, as if flowing water down a meandering stream, long lines of people snaked back and forth. With a horde of people moving in one direction to the other, it must have looked like blood flowing through a major artery. As if it happened yesterday, I remember listening to Billy Joel singing Piano Man.
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory. I'm not really sure how it goes but it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.
La la la, di da da. La la, di da da da dum."
Then, not looking where we were walking, we literally bumped into one another. He grabbed my shoulders for me to stop walking before I knocked him over. He wasn't the biggest man I ever dated either, an understatement. He was the smallest man I ever dated. With me 5'9 ½" tall, I was more drawn to men over 6'2" tall. With us seeing eye-to-eye, we were about the same height.
Yet, giving him credit where credit is due, he was the most intelligent man I ever dated. Typically, someone who looked like me never dated someone who looked like him just as someone who looked like him never dated someone who looked like me. We were an odd couple were more akin to Penny played by Kaley Cuoco dating and marrying Leonard Hofstadter played by Johnny Galecki on the Big Bang Theory.
He wasn't the best looking guy either that I was ever interested in but there was something about him that made me not only notice him but also made me look at him twice. As if his face was a blackboard with mathematical equations written all over it, as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, his intelligence was obvious. It was obvious just by looking at the expression on his face that he had a big brain with lots of knowledge behind it. Not undressing me with his eyes and not looking through me in the way that most men do when not listening to me, he looked at me as if I was the only woman in the world and he was my psychiatrist.
"A walking, talking, and breathing atomic theory of matter, you're like an atom and/or a molecule filled with protons, electrons, and neutrons wandering around the universe bumping into things," he said with a laugh. "You would do well in a life-size pinball game."
In the way that Penny is never sure on the Big Bang Theory, I wasn't sure if he was insulting me or complimenting me. Obviously, he was so wicked smart and compared to him, I was so wicked dumb. Just as there were plenty of things that I didn't know, seemingly, there wasn't anything he didn't know. He was an oracle of information.
As if he was a professor giving a lecture in front of a class of budding scientists, he could go on and on talking about all kinds of interesting facts about the Earth and about nature. He could endless talk about the sky, the stars, the planets, the galaxy, and the universe. As if he was a weatherman, he knew all about weather. As if was an oceanographer, he knew all about currents and tides.
Just he knew facts and figures, not limited to science and all things scientific, as if he was an economist, he knew about the economy too. As if he was a political strategist or commentator, he knew all about current events, governments, laws, politicians, and politics. As if he was a psychologist, he knew all about the learned behaviors of people too. With seemingly nothing he didn't know, seemingly, he was so very insightful about everything except for women and except for sex.
When it came to sex, he was such a nerd. No doubt, in the way he stared at foreign, orb like bodies in the sky, he stared at my big breasts as if he had never seen tits before. Instead of feeling me and fondling me, he groped me. Quick to grope my shapely ass and big breasts, making out with Daniel was like having sex with a horny, virginal, teenage boy. With him obviously being sexually inexperienced, at least there was something that he didn't know and something that I could teach him.

While enjoying the concert, I was looking more at what I could see of the stage and of Billy Joel than I was paying attention to where I was walking. We both laughed but, as if it was meant to be, as if it was kismet, or fate, as soon as we made eye contact, we both knew there was something more than just bumping into some stranger in a crowd. He filled me with behind the scenes information about the meaning of Billy Joel's lyrics and I filled him with tidbits of gossip about Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley. We watched the rest of the concert together and he invited me back to his apartment after the concert.
We had a couple of drinks and some introductory conversation. Normally with me able to hold my own, I felt as if I was having a conversation with my college professor. He was so smart that he made me feel so dumb. I told him that I was a struggling writer and he told me that he was a geologist for Exxon.
'A geologist for Exxon? Wow! Whatever that is, what the Hell is a geologist?'
I figured he had something to do with rocks but what does rocks have to do with oil wells, off-shore oil rigs, and digging for oil. I didn't even know what a geologist was and/or did until he told me. Truth be told, I thought a geologists looked for dinosaur bones or maybe that was an anthropologist. I needed to watch Jurassic Park again.
Obviously, by his big apartment and by my little, hole in the wall, one-room studio, he made a lot of money. In the way that opposites attract, and in the way that protons and electrons attract, he was rich and I was poor. Yet, living in New York had a way of bringing strange bedfellows together. Definitely, he was the strange one and I was the normal one.
Then, no longer talking, we made out as if we were sitting in the backseat of his car on prom night. Kissing and kissing him, he continued kissing and kissing me. Obviously, he loved my big tits because when he wasn't staring at them, he was feeling them. As soon as my erect nipples made their appearance through my bra and blouse, he pulled them, turned them, and twisted them through my clothes as if I was a human experiment. Then, as if my clothes were on fire, I couldn't get them off fast enough.
He watched me unbutton and remove my blouse as if it was Christmas and I was a Christmas tree. He continued staring at me wide-eyed while I unbuttoned, unzipped and removed my jeans. He stared at me as if he had never seen a woman in her bra and panties before. Then, as if I was a stripper in a VIP lounge giving him a private striptease show, he watched me unhook and remove my bra and slide down and remove my panties with focused concentration. He stared at me as if he had never seen a naked woman before.
He quickly and unceremoniously stripped himself naked as if he had spilled acid on his clothes. With him having a difficult time putting on a condom, I wondered if he was nervous or a virgin. I helped him roll on his condom on his penis and he made love to me on his bear skin rug on living room floor. I've had casual sex before but nothing like this. Even with him being so awkwardly clumsy, our first time having sex was as if we had sex before. Everything was all so familiar. Two years later, we've been together ever since that night.

Before working for Exxon, he worked as a volcanologist for the United States Geological Survey.
'A volcanologist? What the Hell is that? Is it someone who studies volcanos? Why would anyone study a volcano? Unless they were dormant, how could anyone get close enough to study them?'
He had a Ph.D. in geoscience from MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Howard Wolowitz played by Simon Helberg had a master's degree in Engineering from MIT on the Big Bang Theory. Seemingly, all that I knew about science translated from what I learned from watching the Big Bang Theory for nearly ten years. Obviously, I needed to broaden my educational horizons by reading a book instead of watching situation comedies on TV. Yet, in the way I learned so very much from watching the Big Bang Theory, I learned all that I needed to know about friendships and relationships by watching soap operas, Seinfeld, Friends, and Sex and the City for years.
