First dates
I have a love hate relationship with first dates. I love the potential for spark. I love a good conversation with the gettin to know yas.. I love that first touch. I love long walks.
I hate... the neurosis, the nerves, the awkwardness surrounding money and doors. Um. I hate it when it goes badly. Though it's never gone so badly I've had to splash a drink in someone's face, it has just been fizzlegig.
OK, maybe I love them more than I hate them.
I had a first date today. His name is Gary. He's a good bit older than me. He teaches high school English. He is temporarily living at home. (Note the temporary).
We went to Tealuxe. Then we walked to Wickenden St., stopping at the cable car for wraps (turkey for him, veggie for me). We then walked back to Thayer, and had Gelato. We talked for about an hour and a half. Then he walked me to my car (Score for him) and gave me a hug (He asked first) and... he was warm. Not too warm. perfect. :-)
He also asked me out again, and I did accept. I'm excited, but not too excited, or neurotic, or anything. I'm just doin' me. And THAT, my friends, is a fabulous thing.
