It Went Well
Find a Conversation

So my dinner date with Sean the-former-lunch-guy went very well. He brought me home at 9:30 or so, but since we both have to get up for work tomorrow, it was okay to end fairly early. (I just realized that this was my first weekday evening date since 1982. The handful of other dinner dates I've had since my divorce were all weekend nights.)
He was really good company--considerate and gentlemanlike without making a big production of it. We talked about a lot of things--we have a lot of similar interests, but he also knows about some stuff I don't know (architecture, gardening) and I know things he doesn't, so it makes for good conversation.
When we got to my house he gave me a hug and a peck on the lips and said he'd had a great time and he hoped I'd want to do it again (or something like that). SO even though he didn't ask me for another date, it sounded like he intended to.
In short, he is forgiven for his failure to phone when he said he would last week. :)

PS -- Oh yes, and the food was as good as I expected it to be. :)

Good, I'm glad to hear you had a good time! Here's hoping that him not calling was a one time aberration ;-)!

RE: "Here's hoping that him not calling was a one time aberration."
Amen! And let me note that I may forgive, but I don't necessarily forget. He hasn't acquired a clean slate. ;)
So far, though, he is behaving well this week. There was a "thank you, I had a lovely time" e-mail from him this morning, and he just caught me in IM to wish me good morning before he left for work. (As I said, I have nothing against IM in moderation.)
We'll see. It's a nice change from the 60+ retirees who want a woman to keep them company in their declining years (the group among which I seem to attract the greatest interest on YP).
Meanwhile, I've begun e-mailing with a nice-seeming music teacher, who might be fun to know.
Thanks for the good wishes.

Just a quick update, for anyone who is interested:
Sean asked about the weekend and I told him truthfully that I was busy Friday and Saturday (couldn't resist a little comment about how *last* weekend I had been free except for my shopping expedition on Saturday). So then he suggested Sunday afternoon, and I have no objection :) -- so we'll be doing something (as yet undecided) on Sunday. There is a show at the local museum we might catch, or we might go bowling, or maybe something else. I think it's a good sign when a guy says, "what we do isn't as important as the company."
So it is progressing nicely.

Thanks.
Yeah, he is "the former lunch guy." :)
The advantage of giving him a fake name, is now I don't need to update the lable (lunch guy, dinner guy, etc.)
