Had a great time last night. Met B for the first time (okcupid/godsis). We went to the truckeroo at the Yard in DC. I'd never been before; it was lit af; bunch of young beautiful black people. I gotta go back with tha homies lol.
Anyway, we've been consistently talking and texting for about a month now (had no time to meet before this really), so we already know quite a bit about each other and were already quite comfortable around each other. His personality was as expected. He seems grounded and he's funny--not crazy funny, but just enough. And yea, I was really comfy around him. I opened up more than I usually do. Our conversations flowed naturally and neither person seemed to be forcing anything. We make each other laugh. And I maybe laughed more than I thought I did, cuz today, my upper abs hurt--like I've been doing core exercises/laughing hard lol.
He's 6feet, kinda slim, but is working on putting on muscle...his arms reflect that. He has tats on his arms. Low cut hair; facial hair. His face is interesting. It's gorgeous perfection when he smiles..like he's fine af when he smiles...from the front. His nose is the flattest nose I've ever seen lol. He has a beautiful face, imo. Like, I was shocked at how good his face looked..pictures do him no justice. His style is a bit out of the ordinary lol. He wears bracelets..like a nondescript black one...and he dresses kinda stupid imo
He had on tennis shoes with the laces untied yesterday (*facepalm*)..like on purpose
But he has to dress up for work thank GOD (more on that later).
Yes, this is the same guy I was asking about with the 'is this gay?' thing lol. Ok, hear me out. I am no longer getting any gay vibes from that particular situation, due to clarifications. And I'm not from the...basically metrosexual way of dress, either. We were discussing something about homosexuality again (I brought it up) and his answers were very neutral/'I wouldn't, but I have no problem with; people should do what they want, etc...', very calmly answered. Then later, we were walking and holding hands and I ran my fingers across his butt and he jumped and freaked out and got mad and told me not to do that
I laughed and playfully asked him what was wrong and segued into asking him "have you ever had sex with men or would you ever?" Genuine shock, awe, outrage, jokes. Good stuff lol.
AND! Apparently, he had a really bad lisp when he was younger. Got therapy for it. No more lisp. But now he kinda slurs his words when he talks fast and his voice gets higher when he's excited and just...sounds weird in general when he talks. And has a weird 'accent' on certain words. Like he's trying to over emphasize certain syllables, or will draw out the syllable. So, he
sounds gay half the time!
But he's so freaking confident with all this metro stuff! I point blank called his style metrosexual and he agreed and wasn't at all offended. You sound gay, but then you wear bracelets?! Why would you even draw attention to yourself like that?! You must have some A1 people in your life!
But I seriously get 0 gay vibes from him! I'm not used to this kind of confidence I guess? lol I can't wait to ask the girl who knew him in college about this! We have drinks next week. And yea! NO one has mentioned ANY of this lol. Am I trippin this hard?! Am I crazy?! This **** aint weird to black people no more!?
Anywho. He's a contractor for the fedgov, something with business/finance. He's in school for his MBA right now. His parents are divorced (both remarried), but he's always been really close to his dad. His mom, too. His dad gave him his Lexus that he no longer wanted a few years ago. And he owns his townhome and lives alone; his dad helped with the renovations. And him and his mom go out to eat and stuff. Fuggin nice ass family lmao. He's admittedly spoiled. I brought that up lol. He reiterated that he's also a hard worker lol.
Paid for everything, opened all the doors, even the car door! Kissed me. Kisses were niiiiice lol. His voice can get really deep, too. Niiiiiice. Told me he really likes me and wants to see me again, soon. He wants me to plan the next date, which is good by me. He ultimately wants to get married and have 2 kids. I asked him why he wanted kids (lol), he said because his dad is a great dad and he wants to keep that going. How ****ing sexy is that ****?
His older brother got married last year; engaged after 6months. I said wow, that was fast. He said, not really it only takes about 6months to know if you wanna marry someone. So, at least I know my time won't be wasted. hallelu.
I reloaded my gun today though and placed pepper spray in my purse & in my car.
Yeah, ok.
. This story is lovely. I envision things going smoothly with the right man. I'm a sucker for a good love story 
.
Congratulations!
This is the first real date I've had since January 
. This guy drove 2 hours to see me, he paid for everything, and he bought me a bracelet from the art festival we attended since bracelets are my thing. We had a good time. There was no crazy, explosive chemistry, but that always gets me into trouble. This guy is a lot more nerdy and mellow than I'm used to, and he's average looking, but he's tall! I'm continuing to lean back, build a rotation, and remain detached and uninvested in the outcome. I'm also still working on moving to Canada. None of these dudes are getting in the way of my plans unless they really come with something.
he actually made a nod to this in his lil proposal speech. Something about "words without action makes the person look dumb" 
He said ok but nothing else. So I kindly took myself home last night and did just that. I bought a bottle of wine, made a steak and binge watched the first season.
