Great 1st Date!

And by first date, I mean the first real date since my ex. This is with single Dad (I will come up with a better name in time) and we have been talking so I knew we would at least have good conversation. Well, he is even more handsome in person and looks much younger than his 40 years. We went to dinner and closed down the place and then we drove around looking at Christmas lights. He actually researched the best places around here and wanted to show me so I could take Brendan. His daughter is 3yrs old and he knows how much they like Christmas lights at that age. We also drove by his house because he wanted me to see the decorations outside (he spent the day putting up decorations).

I can tell he really likes me and he paid me a few compliments which was nice. He was a total gentlemen, even helping me in and out of my coat. He actually talked more than me but not overbearing like. (I am not so much a talker so it was a relief although I certainly contributed) He walked me to my car at the end of the evening and asked to see me again this week. I think he wanted to kiss me but my nerves were up so I gave him a hug.

Now, am I interested? I think so but I could tell I was really nervous about being on a date which I chalk up to being the first since my ex. I am also a bit cautious and guarded so it takes time for me to warm up. I enjoyed everything about him and hopefully I will become a bit more comfortable with the next date so I can have a better guage. I did like him enough to go out again.

Oh important stuff....it was a causal date so I wore black jeans (which looked good ;) ) and a pretty grey sweater.

That's great Savannah!


I'm so happy your first date was a good experience. He sounds nice and considerate. I like that he has a three year old and so he can relate a lot to you. Handome and thoughtful, too? Very nice!! I hope your Thursday date is just as nice. Keep us posted!

Here is a pic although it doesn't do him justice. He looks cute here but he is really handsome in person.

Oh, he must have gotten his teeth whitened because that was one of my concerns before meeting. (I know shallow!! especially after he has turned out to be so thoughtful)
