OK! I actually had a great first meet last night with Teacher Guy! We met at a restaurant that is also a micro-brewery. He looked exactly like his picture and that was a good thing. He's not as tall as I pictured him but he was a few inches taller than I am so even in my boots he was taller than me so not big deal. We had a couple beers and conversation went extremely well. We have a lot of things and interests in common (how many guys do you find that will talk Dr. Phil, football and reality TV with you? :-)) We actually spent 4 hours there just talking and having a few beers. I could have stayed longer but I was getting tired after a long week so we called it a night about 10:30. He had asked me out tentatively for Sunday - committed plans but he will call about the timing when he knows more so I think that is a good sign. And I definitely hope he calls because I had a really good time. At the end of the night, we walked to our cars adn it was raining pretty hard so we stood under an awning. I think I could see it going through his mind of how to "end" it - he seemed a bit tentative so I leaned in and gave him a hug (no kissing on a first meet!) and thanked him and told him I'd had a great time. He said he had too so it ended well.

Anyway, keep your fingers crossed for me that he calls again! I'd really like to go out with him again (the first time that's EVER happened!). Who knows, I'm keeping my expectations realistic, but could we possibly be looking at another CL positive experience? :-)

Hey vexer,

I'm so glad to hear you had such a great meet! I love dates like that...any first meet that goes beyond 90 mins. becomes a date in my book;-P

Cheers,
Michele

He called! We're meeting tomorrow for an open house a friend of his is having and I guess several of his friends will be there! Yikes. But I think it will be OK. He said another friend of his has gone out with a woman from eHarmony a couple of times and she'll be there too so it's very casual and low key. Then dinner afterwards. I'm nervous it's a meet the friends thing so quickly but I think it will be OK. The way he's described his friends they are fun people.

Heeee! Didn't mean to stress you out!!!

When in doubt, I always wear a black v-necked sweater. And I think it's a law, you need new earrings.

BTW, I met a guy in my local bar last night who is from here but now lives on the other side of the country ... he made eyes at me across the room full of 20-somethings and when we finally started talking he made me laugh so hard I gave him my phone number. So far he's called me three times today trying to set up a date tonight (I was busy doing stuff around town, so I kept making him call me back.) He's only in town till Monday. Just my luck, I meet a guy I like who can have a conversation and he lives a couple thousand miles away.
