Saturday night - turn of events

Hi all,

Date details on Saturday night. Quite a turn of events but I'm happy about how the night ended.

I did not hear from the guy I was suppose to go out with (24yrs old, navy photographer). Don't know what happened there... I called him at 4:13 pm and left him a message asking about time and place. BUT I inadvertently gave him an out because I said "if" you're still interested call back. Duh, I should have just say "call back".

Anyway, He didn't call back so by 5:30 I made arrangements for Plan B. (I'm not staying home on a saturday night) which was going out with a girl friend to someplace new to meet guys. But the good news is that I didn't have to pay for a babysitter, because Plan B started after my mom came home from work at 10:30 p.m.

But the turn of events was that at 7:30 pm Joe (22yr old, from a couple weeks ago) called. Wow, what a surprise. I thought my age scared him off. But he said he had been working 12hr days. I guess to a guy a week really isn't that long to take to call a person back. He invited me over to his house to watch dvds. BUT since i had Plan B in effect, I invited him to join us girls. He said okay. So now I'm on Plan C. lol. We instead went to a small karaoke place because I wasn't looking to meet guys now. hehehehe.

Yes, I know that if guy takes two weeks to call maybe he only wants a booty call. But I think he really was working long hours this week. We did play phone tag earlier in the week but he didn't leave a message to indicate he wanted to get together.

We had a great time. I picked him up at 10:45 pm(he's from NY so he didn't get his drivers license yet). He looked good!! He laughed at my jokes. We went to karaoke. My friend and I love to sing. But he didn't sing. He said I looked good, too. I was wearing my contacts...lol... he's only seen me in my glasses.

I like that he's an easy going guy. He's very sweet and acts respectfully. He doesn't make crude sexual comments like most guys (even when he was around his friends). Maybe I was thinking we didn't have much in common with the age difference. But then I read an article that said with older woman/younger guy it is more about what's NEW not what we have in common. Hmmm. I thought. That's a good concept.

After karaoke, we watched dvds at his house. Which was good because he didn't have the music blasting like before. I was at his house til 7 am. We snuggled on his couch and watched two movies. Didn't go too far (if ya know what i mean) just kissing and snuggling. He was very respectful and sweet. My mother worked in the morning so I had to be home by 8 am. But otherwise I might have stayed to get some breakfast.

There you have it ladies... Hope you had a great weekend too.

Well, it certainly sounds like you can be flexible. I like your plan a, b, c.

I am glad that you found him to be respectful and that he dressed up and did what you wanted. He sounds nice.

It is also nice that your mom is helping you - sounds like she works a lot.

Keep us posted.
