What do you do when you have a really really great first
date? I can’t stop thinking about it –
but not in an obsessive, I hope I did everything right way. I can’t stop thinking about it because it was
so good, and I want to go back and be in those moments again. I met This Guy a few months ago, and we
started talking as friends. We went out
to lunch once. We texted. He asked me out via text. And my reply was “no,” – I told him asking a
woman out via text was no way to treat a lady, but in truth I wasn’t quite sure
I was ready to go on a date with him.
I met This Guy for dinner last night, not knowing if it was
a date or not. Because we know each
other a little already, there was some teasing about the date/non-date issue,
and we agreed it could be our first half-date.
This Guy admitted to having a crush on me for months, and I admitted the
same about him. When was the last time I
had a crush? A butterflies in the
stomach, smile when I think about him, I wonder what he’s doing right now kind of
crush? It certainly has been a
while. Dating and crushing don’t always
go together as I am learning, but man it’s good when they do.
So here’s what I like about This Guy: he’s smart, he’s funny, he’s ambitious and
excited about all of the crazy new business ideas in his head, he’s a MAN (not
sure how else to describe this quality – slightly older, confident, looks like
he would protect you against unwanted advances from other men and bears in the
woods), he’s charming, and he compliments me.
ME!?! It feels silly to write,
but it’s nice to hear a man tell you he thinks you are beautiful, especially
when you don’t necessarily feel it for yourself.
We had dinner, and then we had dessert, and then we walked
around even though it was getting kind of late - This Guy and I were both trying
to find excuses not to go home on a Wednesday night. We finally decided to call it, but not before
being serenaded on a street corner with a looooooong version of “My Girl” by a
wandering (likely homeless) street performer.
Neither of us had any cash, so This Guy offered up his Metro Card. Just before I got in a car to go home, we had
the perfect date/non-date first kiss.
