I am definitely one who frequently advocates keeping one's "head straight" while dating, and I'm generally not one to jump to quick conclusions. But seriously...I think I just met my new boyfriend. And it happened just so out of the blue.
So, you all remember my recent post about the "lovely" guy who tried to ask me to come over to his place (or come over to mine) after just one. I kept it moving, but there was no one who really in particular caught my eye. This guy on a dating website messaged me and he seemed cute enough so we chatted back and forth, and then he asked me out on a date. I really had no expectations (I worked an INSANE number of hours last week...hell, I was so worn out that I barely remembered his name). We met at a wine bar, and we really had a nice time. I wasn't blown away, but I definitely knew I wanted to see him again. So, when he asked me to meet him again, I accepted.
THAT was when I was blown away...and apparently, so was he. We both had this simultaneous moment that neither of us realized we were both having. I was sitting on the windowed balcony of one of my favorite downtown restaurants and I saw him walking up, and I thought "Damn! He's hotter than I remember!" He said that when he looked up and saw me waving at him from the window, he thought "Wow...this woman...she really is so beautiful." The rest of the afternoon (and evening) were pretty much amazing. I'd have to say...it was the best date I'd been on, possibly in years. There was a moment when we were at our last stop, a bar where some of his friends were hanging, when he looked at me, smiled and said "You know...I've really been looking for you..." I was just stunned. We've talked on the phone every night since then and we're going out again the day after tomorrow (he wants to see me sooner, but work is the holding me up).
I have no idea if things are going to work out down the line (afterall, only known him for a wee bit). But I know I'm very attracted to him. I know that I can go on and on talking to him about practically anything. I know he makes me laugh (a lot). And I know I feel beautiful and wonderful when I'm around him...and that last thing is something I haven't felt in a long time.
Wish me luck on this one ladies...
