curb my enthusiasm!!

I'm alittle giddy about my motorcycle guy and our 3rd date this Sunday!! He's called every night this week and emailed and/or texted me everyday. I had given him a package of his favorite cookies last Sunday and he mentioned last night he was keeping them for this Sunday so he could share them with me. He texted me today saying he's really looking forward to spending the day with me! We're meeting near where he lives and going on a 2 hr motorcycle ride with his 'group' then going to a crab feast. I can't wait.
What I found interesting is last night, during our phone call, he mentioned that he had gotten a call from a girl he dated last Oct. that wanted to see him this weekend and he told her no. I just wonder why he felt he needed to tell me about that. hmmmm. I guess he was just being honest. I kinda thought that was nice.
Anyway....I'm probably going to go crazy until Sunday...oh and it's my birthday Sunday, too!! doubly excited!! :-)

I hope everybody has a great weekend planned!

he is boosting up his stock :) Just trying to let you know that there are other women out there after him but he favors you. It's kind of sweet :)

well, my excitement is turning to into fear alittle bit. I don't know why. I guess I'm getting scared of really liking this guy. I'm afraid that he's going to end up breaking my heart. Gosh, I've been so jaded by my past... I know I should just let go and have fun and live in the moment and stop overanalyzing every little thing...but I'm getting myself worked up and I'm nervous and anxious and I feel like I could either throw up or cry!! (must be getting toward 'that' time of the month!) LOL

whew....okay....breathe in....breathe out......

What works for me is to steer the middle course...enthusiastic, but holding back a bit. When I meet someone new I like, I keep reminding myself, "he seems great, but I barely know him. Time will tell". I repeat that 1000 times a day if necessary ;-). And I remind myself that if things don't work out, I'll be just fine.

It's natural to feel scared.

Boy, Donna, I can so relate!! I've been dating a guy from OLD for about a month, I really like him, he seems to like me, so of course I'm scared to death. I've posted here about some past ghosts and I'm afraid I've gotten so good at talking myself out of liking someone too much (in case they ghost) that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. what also scares me is I never saw it coming when those other guys ghosted or dumped me, so I question my instincts but also realize you can never really know what someone else is thinking, no matter how long you date them.

Sheri's advice is excellent and I'm going to try to follow it. I too know that if he does ghost or tell me he's not that into me, I'll feel bad but I'll survive to date another day.

Woo Hoo!!!....I had a blast yesterday! :-) can't stop smiling!!
Met him at 9:15a, went for a motorcycle ride with his group (16 bikes), then all met afterwards for a crab feast. He remembered my birthday and gave me a card when I got there, which I did not expect since this is only the 3rd date. Got back to his place around 5p and he said to go get freshened up (we were very sweaty from the ride) and we'd go to dinner and a movie. I went into his bathroom and there was a birthday bag waiting for me with body spray, lotion, and body wash! OMG...I couldn't believe it...so we ended up messing around a bit then went to dinner and went to see "Fantastic Four". I did sleep over and left this morning at around 9:15a!!...so it was a great 24 hour date...he emailed me when I got into work saying he wished every weekend could be that way and said I need more birthdays so he can spoil me!! My head is spinning this morning and I can't get the grin off of my face :^)

Donna, Happy Belated Birthday!! I'm so glad to hear that your date and birthday were wonderful. I can feel your enthusiasm thru your words. It sure sounds like you've found a keeper. Sit back and enjoy the spoiling. Those kinds of men are hard to find these days. Good luck with your new fella.

All the best,
Libra
