Okay - he wanted to take me to have a really nice dinner in the art gallery district. Because that is a fun but upscale area and you can walk around and visit the stores - even walk to the beach - and it is a nice evening. Plus he figured I would like the food at that restaurant and I had not been there before. He said that it is up to me if I would like to meet him in case I am not comfortable with him picking me up - although he would not mind that as well.
So, in the nature of keeping things slow - I said I can meet you. And we pretty much get there at the same time.
We had a nice dinner - he said that I looked nice and he was glad to see me. We shared a tuna appetizer and then each had a salad and entree.
And so we chatted. And chatted. After dinner we went for a walk. And walked and chatted and pretty soon we went 1.5 miles to the beach!! And we found a bathroom and got a bottle of water. And talked for a bit. And then headed back.
But he did ask me a lot of good questions - he said he really liked my perfume and wanted to know the brand. He also asked a lot about my business - but not in any way to make me feel uncomfortable but more to remark at how it was neat that I did that on my own. And he asked about what activities DS likes to do and what we do to celebrate Mother's Day. And he asked me about what kind of bike I have and about my coach and what races are coming up.
He talked about his job - and I like that he is happy with it and worked his way from the bottom to the top and the company has done well. He says he wants to stay here.
And he told me the story about his dad who got cancer and then passed away - he had to drive almost every weekend for an 11 hour drive - to be with his dad and help his mom. And he dearly loves his nieces and nephews and has offered for one of them to come here and live with him. He doesn't drink that much and is usually the designated driver. He also said that he made sure his mom has her card and he will call her.
We couldn't believe how far we walked and talked! The evening went by very fast again.
And then at the end of the evening he said he would drive me to my car - I think he wanted to show off his new car - it is very nice and he was showing me his GPS. Then he asked so what do you think - would you like to go on another date with me? And I said yes and he smiled and said he thought I was as cute as a button - how silly! He said that he knew I wanted to go slow and so he wanted to do what makes me comfortable - and is it okay to call in the middle of the week for a date next weekend and I said yes.
And I did let him kiss me at my car and then went home.

Sounds like a neat 2nd date... Yes you are cute as a button.. YAy.. That is something Biker tells me all the time .. mostly when I wear some of my outfits that are his favorite.. I think that is silly too when he says that. But I like it that he feels that way about me.
It feels good to get dressed up for a man that notices things and appreciates.
WOW WEST! TOO cool!!!!!!
Thanks, dances. I think he is amused with me and seems to be taking notes.
I just want to take my time and see how we do over time - if he wants to make time for me and if we are really compatible and stuff like that. Plus I have been more tired than usual from the long bike ride and all of the training the coach is sending - it has been really hot here. But now I think back on yesterday and appreciate how sincere he is - I like his stories and how he treats me.
He did send a nice text message today wishing me Happy Mother's Day - so that was sweet.
Yes - this is KarateMan.
Oohhh... Karate Man sounds like he might be a keeper.
NICE!!!!
So...
