I posted a couple of days ago about being VERY nervous around the new guy I'm seeing! Well, I took your advise to heart and just tried to relax. I had a great time with him last night...explained to him why I was shy around him, and everything just fell into place. -- He gave me a real kiss last night...I was so excited I felt like a teenager again!! --

Anyways...he's coming over for dinner tonight, so I'm excited about that too! Just wanted to fill you in!

Thanks for listening! Everyone on this boards seems very supportive and nice!

Hey, that's great. He probably was a little intimidated by your shyness. He might have misunderstood that. Have fun!

Kait,

I'm glad you had a great date and another one tonight! I think that just plain old relaxing is so important and underrated. Sometimes the only obstacle in a person's way is their own tension. Just be confident and enjoy!

Kait,
I'm glad your having a great time, but take it slow about inviting him after a few dates to your place for dinner. I would make sure you still keep it a bit distant in the beginning and that you let him continue to take you out. Don't let him get to comfortable too soon in your home. I've made that mistake a few times in the past. I would invite them after some weeks and then I never got rid of them because they thought my cooking was awesome and better then going to a restaurant (Of course, because it was also cheaper for them). Then afterwards instead of them having to take me to a movie or for a drink they just plopped themselves on the couch, opened a can of beer, put their arm around me and switched on the video I rented. WOW! WHAT A DATE! NOT!
Make sure you get the guy out of the house in the beginning. Otherwise things will get just WAYYYYYYYY to comfy and your going to feel like your suddenly playing house.

Just my two cents. As for the rest, I am sooo glad your enjoying yourself and that he is being so good to you. Of course he should! Your worth it. Keep us posted!
