I had the BEST date Saturday and had to share!
J & I had our first date two weeks ago. It was okay but we were both nervous, him more than me. He is younger than me which I usually don't go for and he seemed v. energetic and a spender and I am more mellow and a saver. But I thought why not give it another chance so I agreed to a second date. Second date was really nice, lunch and walking around outside for a few hours.
Third date we met for dinner and for some reason I felt awkward at first (for those on chat, this is the guy whose bday was last week - I did give him a card and am glad I didn't do anything more as he said he doesn't like having a fuss made over him and bdays aren't a big deal to him). I wasn't sure if he would ask me out again but, at the end of dinner he suggested a movie and I agreed. I found out more things about him that gave me pause during that date, for instance I hate guns and he has a few. But, we had our first kiss after the movie and it was lovely. :) Then he playfully smiled and said, so, are we doing this again? I winked and said yes.
Date 4 was Saturday. I suggested a walk on a trail near here, heavily traveled don't worry, and we ended up walking and chatting all afternoon. We talked about family, past relationships, work, goals, etc. After walking all afternoon we were famished so we got dinner and then ended up back at my place. There was a brief awkward moment outside my door where I could tell he didn't want to invite himself in and I was debating whether to invite him in b/c I didn't want it to be considered an "invitation" if you know what I mean. And then I thought, this guy has only kissed me once, not touchy feely at all, def wasn't pushing his way in, and I just knew it would be fine so I asked if he wanted to watch a movie. We sat side by side on the sofa and put in Wedding Singer but we ended up talking through the entire movie and even afterward for a few hours, he was a perfect gentleman the whole time, in fact I was touching him more than him me. He is v. open and communicative which I like, I feel like I know so much about him already. He hasn't had too many serious relationships but honestly seeing what I see in him I don't understand why, he seems like such a great guy, balanced and stable, respectful, good sense of right and wrong, funny, successful career, good looking, great eyes and smile . . . just about perfect. I am gushing aren't I? LOL I don't think I have ever have had a 12 hour fourth date but this was so wonderful, the time flew by as if it were minutes instead of hours. We spent 12 hours together and didn't run out of things to talk about, didn't get on each others' nerves, and if not for the late hour could have gone on a lot longer. I am sooo infatuated, can't get him out of my mind!
I am so glad that I didn't next this guy for the things like money habits and energy level that I thought at first were issues because as I get to know him better it turns out that my initial impression wasn't quite right and I now think we are a lot closer on those things than I thought. I am still not sure about all this stuff and am keeping an open mind but ooh I am enjoying this!

Woo hoo!
