Second First Date

Had most unusual date with SS last night. He called near the end of our family party demanding that he see me in the evening. He said he didn't care what we did or where we went but that he had to see me. As I had told him earlier that I was free in the evening I did not quite see how I could get out of it without lying, plus I had already blown him off twice that weekend. I agreed to give him a call after the party ended, which I did.
He picked me up at my place (incidentally that is another rule: the guy always picks you up. You don't agree to meet him or do anything that would make it easier on him: he has to work hard for you). He then took me to see his new pent-house suite offices in Woodfield and then to Shaw's for pre-movie drinks. Over drinks conversation turned to what my friends had to say about his sudden reappearance. I truthfully said they assumed he was after one thing, to which he laughed and said that was not the case. I was skeptical to say the least. He then looked me straight in the eye and said what he really wanted from me was my companionship...whatever that means. I laughed and said time would tell.
Soon after our strange conversation in the oyster bar we strolled to the theatre to see "40 Year Old Virgin" (v. crass but v. funny just the same). Oddly SS brought his phone, something he has never done in the past (usually he leaves it in the car). Odder still was that he received a call midway through the flick and, after some indecisivness, left the theater, presumably to return the call. He was gone for a good 10-15 minutes and, although he apologized upon returning, never explained himself. Other odd behavior ensued. He insisted that our shoulders touch while we sat but seemed reluctant to take my hand until he had returned from his phone call. When he dropped me off around 10:30pm he said he was very tired as his body had not yet adjusted to the time difference. Despite his fatigue, however, I received a vm from him at around midnight saying he'd had a nice time and it was good seeing me. Furthermore when he walked me to the door he did the euro kisses-on-each-cheek thing rather than kiss me goodnight. Considering how aggressive he has been in the past I was a bit taken aback.
All in all the evening was a little bizarre. His actions in themselves were not so odd but in comparison to how he has acted towards me in the past it was downright strange.
