So I met someone. And so far, so good.
On December 30, 2010, I was leaving work and had to go to the ATM before getting my car from the garage. I noticed this guy who seemed to notice me. I think he was trying to get my attention, but it was my last day of work for the holiday and all I could think about was going home and chilling on my sofa. I smiled at him and kept it moving.
I realized when I got to my car that I hadn't eaten all day, so I went back to grab at least something to drink for the ride home. That's when he was coming across the street. He noticed I was walking into the sandwich spot and asked if he could get me something to eat. At first I said no, but then said why not!? SN: There are some details of this story that I am leaving out for later once I see where things go. Some secrets a girl has to keep for herself ;-) Anyway, he got me lunch, which was so nice. Then he walked me to my car and the convo was really cool. He had peeked my interest and I was interested in getting to know him better.
On New Year's Day, he called to take me out to eat. Again, I almost said no because I was laying with Maxwell chilling hard and could not even think of showering and putting on clothes. BUT I forced a yes and I'm happy I did. We had great conversation again and it was like we'd known each other for a while. After dinner, there was a nice hug and I was impressed and very interested. Since then we have had long talks on the phone, a lunch date, and a few other meetings. I got a little freaked out at everything moving so fast after only a week. He was feeling the push back on my end and suggested a week long break for me to think about how I wanted to proceed. The break was sooooo hard!!! I actually missed him. It did show me that I liked him more than I thought and wasn't willing to throw it away without giving it a fair chance.
Yesterday we had our first date after the break and it was so nice to see him. It's all so crazy, but exciting at the same time. I'm not sure what will develop, but I look forward to enjoying the ride. We had another night of good food, great conversation and laughs, flirting, hand holding (so out of my comfort zone), and.....
WE KISSED ;-)
So with that said, I can let you know one task has been crossed off on my list that is now being called my "2011 Wish List" per my sister who does not want to think of me kicking the bucket. LOL! After our fabulous date out, I can now say I have my romantic date/evening COMPLETED! I know that seemed so simple, but at the vivacious age of 30+ I had cool dates here and there, but nothing romantic and memorable until now. Most definitely more to come I'm sure. Still smiling...
*Sweet P*
OK Ok Ok....I see he's blog official, but "Him?"...hmmm. Always reminds me of Bernie Mac "Him downstairs! Who the (Bleep) is Him?" LOL. Sooooo happy to see you smile.
ReplyDeleteLMBO @ blog official! It's nice to write something nice about a man in my life. For now, he will remain nameless. He's my little secret to keep. I'm enjoying it and still smiling...
ReplyDeleteLOL@ Steph! You are a hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but smile my way through as I read the blog. Congrats. It sounds that everything is off to a good start and I'm glad that you are taking the time to enjoy the little things, because they matter just as much as the big things.I'm rooting for HD (Him Downstairs) and can't wait to see his cameo in future blogs that unfold in your journey of life. Thanks for keeping us along for the journey :)
Thanks Natalie! I'll be sure to keep you posted. The friendship is blossoming nicely ;-)
ReplyDeleteAwww... were I not typing through a stream of tears (of joy), I would go into syrupy detail of the beauty of being privy to the fruition of your feelings, notwithstanding the heart-stopping anticipation of further stories akin to those of a Tyler Perry creation. However, my emotions will no longer permit me to continue. I am so Happy !!
ReplyDeleteAlvin, you are so british! "nothwithstanding"...only british people type that lol
ReplyDeleteOh Alvin! I so appreciate having your overseas presence in my life. Your advice and encouragement has helped me loosen up so much over the years. I am happy that you are happy for me.
