And each person I encountered, I couldn't wait to meet.
So, we had an awesome first date. 2 hours of talking over lasagna pizza
and cokes. Constantine. Lots of laughing and spilling and few lulls or
nervous silences. I like him more and more, the more I see of him.
Funny, sweet, snarky, randomly diabolical or vulgar, incredibly laid
back, open. I loved it.
And then I got his phone number on Saturday (and he already had mine)
and we talked a bit at work but no plans for date #2 were made. He
mentioned it a lot on Friday night, how we'd have to do this again and
how he has Bubba Ho-Tep and Angel on DVD and we could maybe watch that
... but neither of us were willing to make it concrete.
So, I was going to call him today before going into work. But I choked
and decided I would wait to run into him at work today, and then if
that didn't work, call tomorrow.
I not only ran into him, but I also actually suggested second date
plans (instead of just waiting around for him to do it.):
I returned some boxes to the back room and was rushing back to the
service desk. I run into him.
"John! Hey. :)"
"Hey! How's your day going?"
"Alright. I close. Blech and all that."
"Awww. I'm only here until 730."
"Cool ... do you work tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I close."
"Damn. I was going to suggest plans for tomorrow because I don't work.
Welp, gotta get back to the desk."
And I just walked off, without waiting for a response (I was nervous to
the point of sudden nausea at being the first to bring up second date
plans :p I'm ridiculous, I know.). I then made sure to run into him
when he was getting off at 730, in the TSC (area around the breakroom
and front offices) and he immediately came up to me and said
"When's your next day off, after Tuesday?"
"Well, I don't really have one. But they're all morning shifts, so I
can basically do anything at night."
"Awesome. Just give me a sec to check my schedule and we can do
something."
He checks, we agree on Wednesday because he has off and I get out at 4.
He told me to call him when I get off and we'll make a night of it.
*swoon*
I really hope these are dates. I think he's interested
romantically. He paid for our dinner and wanted to pay for the movie (I
beat him into the theater and paid for both of us). He looked like he
wanted to kiss me at the end of our first date. I really want to
believe that, anyway. I'm hoping for a kiss Wednesday. I might even go
for it myself. Hee. ^_^
I'm beyond excited. It's funny how things change so quickly. Less than
a week ago, I had no hope or prospects and now I'm going on a second
date. Rawk. \m/
