Another first date tonight...
15
Sun, 01-01-2006 - 5:50pm

And we're actually going to see a movie. I know that's less than ideal because we won't be able to talk, but we knew that many restaurants wouldn't be open tonight because it is New Year's Day and the movies definitely are.

I'm excited by so cautious......I have a good feeling about this guy. Most of my first meets are no something I look entirely forward to, but know they are a necessary evil in order to get to know someone.

But this guy is different. We had a very good phone conversation. He is very sweet, seems caring and extroverted. We even discussed values and how we were brought up. He works with computers and lives about 30 minutes away from me.

I hesitated to post this because I didn't want to *jinx* myself...lol....but I am really excited.

Keep your fingers crossed for me tonight...please...

I hope you'll let us know how it goes. Too late to send the good luck, but hope it went great!

It went very well!!! I like him!

He was very touchy feely though....not that I didn't like it. I'm just going to have to figure out a way to slow things down a bit if we continue to see each other....at least for a little while...lol.

That's great news! Did you make plans for the next date yet? I hope it continues to go so well.

Nope, no definite plans....he did say that the next time we should go some place where we can talk. He told me to give him a shout and I told him that he could call me as well.

Now I'm worried that I let him go to far with me tonight.....since it was our first date. Hmmmm ... I didn't stop it because I liked it. He really didn't do anything wrong but it just seems like a bit much for the first time we met. Oh well, I'm a big girl....lol.

I'd make him contact me next though. If he's truly interested, he will. You don't want to come off as the "pursuer."

Well, that's for sure...I did enough of that in my last relationship.

But he did ask me to give him a shout....do you think it's rude for me to not call him next since he set up this date. Shouldn't I share the responsibility a bit?

Another thing...should I write him and thank him again for the evening. I already did this when we said goodbye. For some reason it seems that it's rude for me to not write and thank him again. Btw, he paid for the movie tickets and I bought popcorn and drinks......

You don't need to thank him *again*. With the cost of popcorn and drinks these days, you practically went dutch anyway ;-).

I would let him call you...a guy in our age group knows that's how it works.

Nope, don't thank him again. You're not being rude. You already thanked him. Doing it again looks redundant and a little needy IMO.

I agree with Sheri on the calling too. He knows how things work including the phone! I know you like him and want to go out with him again, but it sounds like you made your interest in him pretty clear. If he is also interested, let him pursue you at this point.
