What a night

It’s is incredibly late, and way past my bed time, but I had 4 cups of coffee tonight and I am wide awake, so I thought…why not blog! Subject of tonight’s blog…my first date in 10 years! So last night, I felt like a teenager again. I found this guy who had viewed my profile, and his pic was not your average profile pic, it was a little goofy but grabbed my attention. I clicked on his profile and began reading. He was an incredibly hot 29 year old who went to college, had an adorable daughter, did not smoke, and he was looking for a companion. I sent him a message and hoped for the best. A few minutes later, I got a response. I was giddy. We chatted a bit on the site then he told me to text him. We ended up texting for nearly 4 hours! He was charming, funny, sexy, and we had so much in common. I could not believe how lucky I was or how excited I was! We said our goodnights and I tried my best to calm down and sleep, with no success. This morning, he sends me an adorable text and we end up texting the whole day. We had originally made plans to meet Saturday, but I was impatient and decided we should meet tonight. Earlier in the day, I had a bomb drop on me, well several actually. He was actually not 29, he was 34. Not a huge problem, but I didn’t like that surprise. The next one was that he didn’t graduate high school; he got his GED and never actually went to college. I became a little leery about the date, but still kept it while keeping a positive attitude. We decide on coffee at Ihop hear his house at 7pm. I arrive a few minutes early looking my best and witness him hoping out of someone’s car. It comes to my attention later that he in fact does not have a car. I find it a little off-putting when a 34 year old man does not have a car. That aside, we approach each other…I then discover that the pics I have seen of him were taken like 10 years ago. He still has incredible eyes but looks very different. The rest of the night went from strange to just plain crazy! He has had an insane past and became a little too intense for me at one point. He was a gentleman though, and kept pouring out the compliments. All in all, he is a pretty decent guy with a great heart, but a past that makes me think he might have too much baggage for me. At the end of the night, he walked me to my car, gave me a hug and a kiss. I enjoyed the kiss, although I am not sure if I just enjoyed kissing or if I enjoyed his kiss. He asked for another date and I agreed. I may have to think about where this is going, he is very nice, but not sure he is right for me. If anything, he would be a pretty cool person to just hang with. On a good note, I have another date with a pretty attractive man scheduled this weekend! I am going to have fun and take it as it comes! I am young and I am going to enjoy it! A friend gave me a great analogy today, and I think I am going to apply it from here on out: Chatting is like a movie preview…they can always make a movie look good, but when you finally see the movie, it may not be what you were hoping it was, so just don’t get your hopes up and instead be pleasantly surprised. I really liked that, good words of wisdom! I just wish that people would be a little more honest in their profile… I am taking a risk to be open and honest on mine, show me the same courtesy. Also, a note for my next date…do not drink 4 cups of coffee so late!
