3rd date report

You guys - I had so much fun - we had a very good date!! I feel very lucky - and at the same time a bit fearful because you know how it goes where things look good and then the shoe drops. Hopefully both shoes stay on this one! LOL!!

We had quite a few ideas of what to do - including the a new IMAX movie, dinner, walking on the beach, listening to music and dancing. So he said he would look into the movie times and what bands were playing and then call to finalize what we do on Saturday afternoon.

Meanwhile, we had a sleepover here - my son's friend from out of town who is a very nice boy was here and on Saturday they wanted to go to the movies. So while they were in the movies I was swimming! He called when I was picking them up and we decided on dinner and music with this great local live band and some dancing at a place near the beach but sort of far to the north of here. He insisted on picking me up as long as I felt comfortable with him coming to my house, which I did, because he wanted to be the gentleman he said. And that was sweet because he had to drive really far west to get me.

He was on time. I was ready - but before we left he wanted to meet my dogs. I usually lock them in my office- it is like their room with a couch for them and toys and food and water and such. So I let them out. And they liked him and they were well behaved - didn't jump or go crazy - to my relief and I could tell he was amused with them. One funny thing is that the red dog ran between my legs when I was wearing a short skirt! That dog does this thing where he runs between your legs and throws his head up into your crotch so you will pet him like that. How embarrassing - he almost lifted my skirt too high! We laughed!!

He said I have a nice house and neighborhood and that he put my address in his GPS. He made it a point to say it is the only one for a girl in there! LOL!!

We walked around and checked out the restaurants and picked one we both liked. We had Italian food.

Then we went to a great English pub that has a wonderful band. They play a lot of classic rock that is really good and not too loud. The whole atmosphere there is nice - upscale but fun.

We danced. And we had a lot of fun dancing together - he says we have great rhythm.

Then we went for a walk on the beach. And we sat in some chairs and chatted and enjoyed the breeze and the full moon over the ocean - it was a very pretty night. And he kissed me!! Then DS called to say he had gotten home and had so much fun and won a lot of stuff and didn't spend too much on my credit card - my friends took him out to Dave and Busters so he would have a good evening too since his dad is away for the next week and a half. So, we headed back. He was worried that DS is there by himself but I said that is okay because he is going to bed with the dogs and is used to that. I liked that he wanted to get me back to DS right away and not just stay out longer.

We had a lot of fun and time to talk and I think we really connected on a lot of important stuff. He was telling me about his step son and his exw who has bipolar - that is why their marriage did not work out because she got really bad at the end although he did not go into much detail and I did not ask. But he was telling me of her decisions for parenting that made him sad - like the step son had ADD and she put him in a fundamentalist church school where they said they would pray about the ADD instead of trying to help him with more ADD specific therapy. He was close to the boy and really enjoyed being his step dad - and was sad that he did not get to see him right now although he tried at the end - the mother prevented it. But the boy is in college now and I said when he gets older he will realize how things were and you two can probably get back in touch and he thought so too but he was glad to hear the boy was doing well.

He really appreciates my healthy/active lifestyle and many of the stories about what I do with my son. We really jive on a lot of key issues. And yes there is chemistry - we really enjoyed that kiss on the beach.

AND - he walked me to the door and kissed me goodnight. He is going out of town next weekend to see his mom and to check on some property he has north of here - so he said since we won't see each other then we should try to see each other this week and that he will call.
