So we went out.
It was pretty casual, I wore black Uggs, brown cordory shirtdress and tights, but I did my hair and makeup cute but natural. He had on jeans, t-shirt and track jacket with some fresh nikes.
I was late by 15 mins traffic. He was totally cool about it. Then the Hawaiian place I picked was closed cause it was a Japanese holiday--crap! He was totally cool about it also. We ended up going to this random bar/restaurant with a Native American history theme to it. It was actually pretty cool place.
We talked about music, which we have similar tastes in, and he totally passed his iphone to me and let me scroll through it and all his apps, videos, and photos--no hiding anything. That was kinda a plus...maybe?
I question everything, since my ex was a nutjob--so I wanna totally make sure DHL dude isn't weirdo.
Well I had plans to meet up with friends after and they kept emailing me, but I was having such a good time, chatting with him. Plus the food and atmosphere was fab! Around 9:30 (when I was planning to go) he said "You have to go, but I want you to stay a bit longer. Is it ok?"
So I emailed my friends and they were like "Stay, it's cool" (but I didn't tell him that) I said I could stay another 30 mins. He paid for everything and seemed slightly insulted when I offered. Ended up walking him back to the station (I drove, he took the train), hugged. (In Japan ppl always bow, when they meet, but I said "I'm American, I like hugs or handshakes" and well a handshake seemed awkward on a date..) He was pretty happy to get a hug.
I left really **happy**! He seems totally normal, a tad shy, but funny.
No warning signs so far. He said his last realtionship ended 2 years ago cause she was always bossy and angry. (I'm sure he has dated around and such since then) He's never dated a foreigner before--and only has one American friend who is married. He looks very cute in his DHL outfit.
And he did ask why I'm single, I joked that "I'm dating a 5yr old in my school who asked me out in a letter" (true, but not dating for real.) I just said "I want to meet someone who can be a good friend, but also that I have stuff in common with"
So he texted me three times last night. Once to say he had a great time, wants to meet again, blah blah. Second to say he got home, did I get home ok? And the last was a need word he taught me in Japanese.
Do I text him back or wait for him? I'm super giddy cause I haven't went on a date with a normal dude since well I found out my ex was butt-bumping back in Feb/March.
