The Weekend...

So, I went on a date with 'First of the Month' on Saturday. And I realized how much I short change myself sometimes. We made the plans, and then he called me and said "So are you coming to get me, my car is not a good date car." So immediately I'm like, ok, here we go. This is going to be the worst date ever. The entire time that I'm on my way to his house, I have an attitude, that is likely to mess up the entire date. So we go bowling. We bowled 5 games and had a couple of drinks. Then we went to Outback, and we just talked. About a lot of different things. Reminiscing about the past. Talking about past relationships. It was very cool. Then, I chilled at his house for a little while. And this chilling was nothing like I've ever done with a guy that I was interested in. I mean, we cuddled a little bit. But he wasn't trying to feel all on me. I never felt uncomfortable. We never even kissed. It was a great time, and I'm looking forward to going out with him again. I can't say that I didn't want to kiss him. He was looking good, fresh hair cut, nicely put together outfit, smelling good. But I feel good that I can take it slow with him without feeling pressured. I know that when we take steps, it will be because I want to, not because he is making it known that he wants it.

Now, I've short-changed myself in the past. Thinking, that just going to a movie is a date. Because really, it's not. And not because of a money thing. But because at a movie, you can't talk to someone, or see if there's any chemistry. You just sit there, and watch the movie. So the only time you have to talk is in the car on the way to and from the movie. So I've decided, that a movie is no longer an acceptable first date. Now a second or third date, sounds good. But I can't get to know anything about you in a movie.
