best date EVER!!!
I met up with Ivy boy yesterday and I trekked it over to Manly (near where he lives) to go on a 'beach' date with him. I was fully freaking out bout being in front of him in a bikini coz i'm SO self conscious bout my stretch marks and was heaps worried bout wat he would think... I even went into panic mode and needed reassurance which I got from John, coz Lisa was unavailable (she was away for the weekend with her boyf). John was pretty much like if he doesn't accept u the way u are- stretch marks and all "he can go and get fkd!" hahaha love it!!
Anyway, I got over my anxiety by doing some CBT on myself (lol i'm such a psych) and decided not to cancel and pretend I was sick. I'm so glad I didn't cancel coz it ended up being the best date i've ever been on!! (yes, it even outdid my first date with Mr Miami!!). This is how the date went:
Met him at the wharf in Manly and we strolled over to Shelly beach, where we sat for a while just catching up. I gave him the cd I made him with all just random house songs and I didn't expect him to give me anything in return, but he gave me a bracelet that he had made especially for me in Thailand!!! It's kinda like an ID bracelet and had my name carved in Thai with the pisces symbol on the back... I was in so much shock when he pulled out the bracelet!!! he said that he wanted to wait to give it to me coz he wasn't sure how I would react. I guess if he gave it to me when he gave me the ray ban sunnies it would've been a little awkward. But yesterday was PERFECT timing!!! I think it's the most thoughtful present anyone has ever given me coz its so personal, u know? Which is good coz that means he gets me... he knows i'm not impressed with just material things, but with more sentimental things. I kept thinking to myself, "omg is this guy real?!? this is the sweetest, most thoughtful present EVER!!" Anyway, I tried to put off going in the water for ages, but knew I couldn't do it all day. So I sucked it up, took my dress off and put my feet in the water... I could tell he was trying to check me out (he was all sneaky bout it lol) but after he was like "ur so adorable in ur bikini" I started to relax a bit. When I told him how I was all self conscious he replied with "well u shouldn't be!" and that was all I needed. Yes, I checked him out too and omg... he's SO ripped!! he's a lot leaner than wat I usually like physically, but omg... when he was walking towards me after coming out of the water all I could think of was "omg... HOT!!" hahaha i'm such a loser!
After lazing around on the beach for what seemed like 20 mins but turned out to be hours, we went and had lunch at a cafe along Manly beach and got some Ben & Jerry's ice cream (which is my favourite!!!)... I think I've now hooked him onto it! lol He then showed me around the streets of Manly and we randomly decided to get a neck and shoulder massage from this little chinese place... it was great! felt so relaxed afterwards! We then went down near the wharf and he showed me where the famous Manly wharf bar is- nice place! cute guys in there.. can see why Ayla likes that place! Then we chilled out in the park near the wharf and just layed around for ages just chatting. I felt SO relaxed that I almost fell asleep!! It's good coz it means that I'm really comfortable around him now!
Then we dropped some stuff off in his car and went to the Steyne for a drink... we talked for ages (as we usually do) and the subject of religion came up. I can't remember how we ended up talking about it, but I ended up telling him that religion was important to me coz I wanted to raise my kids with Catholic values. He told me that he was 100% cool with raising our kids with Catholic values and I couldn't believe that we were even talking bout this stuff!! I've been wrong this whole time... I shouldn't have just assumed that he wouldn't wanna raise his kids with Catholic values coz he didn't believe in it 100%. I started daydreaming bout our kids and how I think the perfect name for our little girl would be "Ivy" coz thats where we met.. but of course, I didn't tell him this!! it would totally freak him out! lol
Anyway, after discovering how late it was and trying to work out where the time went (as it ALWAYS does when we're together) we decided to grab some dinner in Milson Pt where my car was. We left the Steyne and randomly walked down to the water at Manly beach and put our feet in. We stood there for about a minute and he turned to me and had that look in his eyes when he wants to kiss me haha so I kissed him and it was AMAZING... we left Manly and he drove me to Milson Pt where we got some takeaway Thai and walked down to where the park was which overlooked the Opera house and ate our dinner there. As if it wasn't romantic enough, fireworks started randomly going off behind the Opera house!! it was the most perfect way to end our perfect date...
He walked me to my car and we kissed goodbye... this kiss was a lot different from other times... it was more.. passionate. It was AMAZING... :D
So we've planned to have dinner on Tuesday night coz its a public holiday on Wednesday for Australia day and he's gonna find out wat's halfway for us and we'll go from there.
I think i'm really starting to like him and it scares the SHIT out of me. He's definitely making it hard to stay single (as per my new yrs resolution!).. especially with little things like the bracelet- OMG... i've never met a guy thats as sweet as him and I feel so comfortable around him. We've never had an awkward silence and obviously things are good if we're always losing track of time when we're together... kinda like we get lost in our own little world. We're such typical Pisceans! lol
I've changed my mind... after hanging out with him yesterday, I'm starting to be able to see myself in a relationship with him. The distance will the be the toughest part, but its clear that we both would travel to be together. And its clear that he wants to take things to the next level coz he wants me to meet some of his work friends and some of his other friends. Thing is, I can see him getting along great with my boys which is such a good thing! but the moment he meets them and hangs out with them, to me, thats relationship. So i might try and hold off on that one for a little while...
