I had a great weekend and got to meet someone new whom I had not 1 but 2 great dates with this weekend. They went so well I could hardly believe it, I guess maybe I wasn't expecting to have so much fun with someone who was nothing short of being a complete gentleman. The first night we had dinner and sat and talked for 3 hours. I'm still trying to figure out how the heck I was able to come up with enough stuff to talk about within a 3 hour time window. At least within that 3 hour window we both agreed we wanted to see each other again and the sooner the better. Which is what led to date number 2 the next evening. I explained my situation about wanting to just take things slow and possibly building on the idea of getting to know each other because I'm taking a bit of a breather right now as far as serious relationships go because I'm trying to get my life in order.
Date number two is when things got a little more interesting. After meeting up we decided to do dinner once again but this time we ended up at my favorite restaurant (Popo's) so that was a plus.
We had plans to see a movie but obviously we weren't able to part from our food quick enough to make the showing and it happened to be the last one for the night. We drove around for a few minutes brain storming different ideas of things to do. He briefly mentioned that he'd even be willing to go roller skating (which I originally thought he was just going out on a limb to try and impress me with the sort of sacrifices he'd be willing to make) I thought there's NO WAY this guy would really be willing to go roller skating with me. Anyone that knows me well knows that rollerskating is one of my favorite things to do in my spare time and it has been ever since I was younger. Luckily I had my skates in the trunk of my car so I inquired a little bit further as to his willingness to go skating. He explained that he really enjoys skating and that he'd love to go. Ironically we happened to be very close to Great Skate out in Glendale so everything worked out perfectly. I think he was in just as much shock as I was that we were going to go skating. Apparently we weren't meant to make that movie after all, which is okay because we had so much fun. Which just means we will just have to save that movie for date number 3 but I'm not complaining :) in fact we've already started brain storming for dates number 4, 5, an 6.
So, I'm going to fast forward to the end of the date the part where before parting ways there's that awkward moment of silence followed by a long filler of "Ummmmm" and to make things even more interesting Thompson Square's song "Are You Going To Kiss Me Or Not" came on the radio. It was at that exact moment that I knew I was in trouble. I heard my date take note of what song was on the radio followed by him replying "Oh, wow." and which we both sort of laughed a little bit about it. I on the other hand was a little nervous only because I knew things had already been going so great and that the LAST thing we needed was for this song to come on at the most appropriate time. I tried to quickly change the subject and pretend I didn't realize what was about to happen but yeah that so didn't work! lol It was the perfect way to end a great evening and a great weekend. I've decided that whatever happens -happens and that I need not worry about trying to control the outcome of this situation. This time I'm going to be true myself and do things differently this time and just enjoy myself getting to know someone while having fun. Nothing too serious but nothing too light.
