Mono for monosaccharide

We met on a Thursday early evening at Hotel Delmano. He arrived a bit early, so he was seated and waiting for me. He sat on the outside, reserving the banquette seating for me, which was a good sign. Mono is an Aries. He is son to an Austrian artist mother and MD father. His mother has passed, but his father is around, but travels frequently. They literally decided to name their only son Mono (two long O's) for monosaccharide. Their one and only lille socker bit. As fate would have it, we could have met in art school in the early 2000s, but I chose to head toward Boston rather than California. Instead he had an unrealized teacher crush on an art historian there, while I lived the dream in Boston seducing and then dating Bill. Mono seemed to like that. He seems to be pretty liberal in terms of sexual mores, which is another good sign. Two for two.
Other bonuses:
1) I love elderflower syrup and he has literally picked elderflower blossoms and made homemade syrup. Apparently, they grow wild on the side of the road in Austria.
 2) I have been really getting into bubbly water and was talking about those soda makers and apparently, Austria is known for them and has been making seltzers at home forever! Imagine those antique soda makers for a moment, then think Austria. For some reason this makes me like him more.
3) He is also well versed in the culinary arts.
4) He has a thing with plants. A wild vine grows in his apartment. (awesome!)
5) He was sweet and gentlemanly and has asked me for another date to see a film.
 And he has great taste in films.
