Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I'm glad the post made a lot of people smile! 
We actually have our third date tonight
Can't wait to get out of the office to meet him!
Funny little story - we were talking last night, and we were talking about what we had for dinner. I mentioned that I had as a side dish a tomato and cucumber salad with feta cheese that I let sit in the fridge in the few minutes with some special marinade before I eat it.
He was like "Um...you're not going to believe me when I say this...I ate the exact same thing." I was like, "BOY, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! You are JOKING!!!" He was like "Nope. I can take a picture and send it to you to prove it because I have left overs."
I don't know if this is cute and funny...or just plain weird. LOL!!!

Update
So, we've gone out 2 more times and will be seeing each other again tomorrow. I swear, this guy makes me feel all mushy and giggly, and I really think he can be something special. We've talked to each other every single day, sometimes a few times a day. I keep asking myself "Aren't I supposed to get tired of talking to him at some point or hearing from him?" But...nope.
It was really what happened over the weekend that swept me off my feet...and it wasn't the kind of occurrence that you'd expect when you imagine being swept off your feet.
I was waiting for him downtown, really anxious and excited. Then, I got a phone call from my dad. He was calling to tell me that two of my close family members (an aunt and an uncle) were not well. In fact, both had serious conditions and were going to have to have serious surgery. He told me not to worry or be upset, but that was pretty much impossible considering these were two relatives that I knew well (especially my uncle). I was trying to keep it together, but I was stunned.
Then, not even 5 minutes later, I get an email (yeah, on the weekend), from one of my bosses (I work at a law firm) for some out of left field project that he needs my help on that day AND night. I was livid for two reasons: 1) I had purposely stayed in the office late the day before to make sure I had the afternoon to myself to spend with my guy and 2) the timing could not have been WORSE given the news I just got. I was beside myself.
He (the guy) came up to me and he immediately knew something was wrong. He asked me and I told him. He gave me a big hug and then took me away from the crowds on the street. He gave me another hug and said "I'm sorry..." Then after I was calm, he looked at me and said "What do you want? What do you need? What can I do for you to help, to make this better for you?" I was really stunned because, I didn't expect that from him. I told him I needed a minute, perhaps a snack or something, so we went to a nearby cafe and sat for a while.
He let me vent and he listened, holding my hand the entire time. I wanted some down time to process, but, I knew I had to work on that stupid project, so I was frustrated.
After I had calmed down a bit, he said to me, "I have an idea, and it's okay if you don't like the idea. You can use my laptop at my place to work, since I'm nearby. There's a room where you can work, and I'll leave you alone to do your work. I'll even make dinner if you want. I just figured I'd offer just because it seems like you may not want to be alone right now, but if you do, I understand. We can meet up another time."
I can't explain why, but, I trusted what he had to say. This is unusual because normally, whenever a guy asks me to come over, especially so early on, I get suspicious. But, there was a sincerity that I sensed in the offer (plus, it was during the afternoon, and not late at night after drinks...). So I took him up on it.
And wouldn't you know...he did exactly as promised. I was left alone to do my work. He made dinner for me, even running out to get a few extra things like sweets and such. And he didn't make one single improper, unwanted move towards me. I was floored. When I was leaving, I asked, "Why? I mean, we don't really know each other. Other guys would've just, I dunno, maybe freaked out a bit at the situation...but, yeah, why?" And he responded, "Because I really like you and you're a sweet woman. You had a rough day today, and I could tell you could use a bit of nice treatment."
Okay, so if THAT doesn't make you sick because of the "mush" factor...I don't know what will...LOL!!!! And no, I did NOT make this sh*t up...even though a lot of the time, I'm like "Did I just make this guy up and am having a REALLY nice long dream???"

Aww..your story is sounding like a Rochelle Alers book girl!
Pretty soon your life is gonna be in danger from some mysterious scandal at your law firm and he's going to have to rescue you and you'll both realize you can't live without each other and then you'll be exchanging vows with an undetectable bun in the oven whispering to each other about when you should tell your families you're expecting!
Are either of you fluent in spanish?
(If you've never read her books all that just probably went over your head. Basically all her books centered around a certain family involve two people who are perfect for each other, meeting and falling in love instantly and then the above happens.)
Seriously though he sounds dreamy. You may have found your prince!

Lol..sorry, I just finished reading a fourth book from her series yesterday. All the men in her book are gentlemen prince charmings that say and do things like your guy in your update so I couldn't resist.

He has some princely behavior, but he's no "prince charming" so to speak, in terms of smoothness. He's goofy as hell. Now, of course, this is a quality I like a lot considering folks tell me I'm goofy too

AWWW!! WOW! 
Thanks for the update NY! This guy sounds like a winner! WoW! How ummm.... how long have you two been seeing each other? He's pulling out all the stops!
It's so nice and refreshing to hear about nice guys for a change on this board. It gives me hope that a guy will feel the same enough about me to do something like this.
What a gentlemen!
I was swooning just reading your story girl! Keep up the updates!

I *think* she was the one who started a thread that he's her boyfriend now. I didn't know the backstory so thanks for bumping this up! He sounds wonderful.
