Me: The New Guy

So I went on an impromptu "date" of sorts yesterday and he was a nice guy. Over the phone he sounded okay and I was thinking that it might work...

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

He contacted me on Match.com; I'm not quite sure why or what about my profile attracted him. But he winked. So I winked back. Then he sent me an email and I responded in kind. Then we talked over the phone the weekend of 12/13 and 12/14.

While I was shopping in Meijers (and being the impatient tool that I can be sometimes) I just went ahead and moved up our initial meeting from Tuesday to that very Sunday night.

I met him at Starbucks (he's a coffee drinker, I don't mind the stuff) and we had a very pleasant conversation, laughing spontaneously and making great eye contact. Lol, let me admit now that I could see a little of his nervousness in that when he would look at me when he wasn't talking, I almost had the smallest imperceptible feeling that he thought I would say "oh well, we tried. See ya!"

And his eyes are gorgeous. He's going bald a little bit on top (it's kinda cute actually) but he's such a normal guy. He has interests very varied from mine and isn't the "guy" that I would create for myself. But I like him just the same.

With him, I shall purposely slow things down...and yet doing this feels right. With Mike and many of the others, I always felt the need to rush around. With Jess, that's not the case (yet.) And I aim to keep it that way.

Anywhoo, we have our first official "date" Tuesday night at Alfalfa's so wish me luck. The roads my be shitty so we may have to change things up a bit, but again, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

And he smelled divine. He wore something called "L'Occitane" and it's definitely one that I will allow him to wear (and not buy for myself) until either we're living happily ever after or we break up. Lol. In the meantime, I'll stick with my Burberry Touch which is dreamy in itself. Mmmmm...

Here's to great stories ahead...
