My thoughts along the way from yesterday...
Just when I was ready to file men under the "Suck" category, here comes one my way and makes it all better. I had a really good weekend for once! And the cool thing was that I did the following this time and it was nice was that I didn't let my mouth get too much in the way. We were just supposed to go swimming but that hit a snag... and so he brought up the idea of going to a movie or something. I hadn't been to a movie in a long time, so I was up for it. We went to Huebner, and can you believe that they didn't have Batman Begins... which he brought up the idea.. when he asked he said that it was showing at Fiesta Theaters... So we hopped in the car and drove the little bit of the extra way. We went in and sat down next to each other. I wore a t-shirt and shorts beacuse we had to go back to my house.. he used my bathroom and changed while I changed in my room. Since my step-father was outside with my little brothers there was no point in trying to sneak him into my room, since that would be when they thought I was up to something. So i introduced him to my step-father as we went up the stairs... and they waved at each other. I haven't brought a guy to my place since my ex.. and it didn't feel that bad introducing him to my step-father.. who is actually most critical about people. Anyway... when we were watching the movie.. I was getting cold. I leaned over and whispered this to him... next thing I know... i was leaning on him while his arm was over me. He was so warm and confortable to be next to. I wanted to stay like that longer, but my neck was starting to hurt.. lol.. (stupid body) so then when I was sitting back up I put my arm through his and held it to my left. He didn't mind me doing that, so I was sitting there smiling. I didn't think he liked me... and I was just figuring that he was being a cool friend... but when he put his hand on my thigh near my knee.. and was caressing my leg and putting his warm hand there... that made me feel well.. special.. like he was being sincere with what he was doing... ok.. so the movie finishes and when we were walking out.. i was behind him... and since he looked back in an effort to not loose me in the crowd.. I told him that I would hold onto his belt loop... and that's when he held out his hand and said this works better. I may be just getting too Ga-ga over that.. but it's been soooo long since someone has bothered to care about me in that way.... enough to hold my hand! Now.. he asked me if I wanted to get something to eat.. since I was kinda hungry... I didn't want to go to a restaurant.. and was up for a little something... so burgers came up and then I brought up Bill Miller's... we went back towards my house and sat down to eat. I wonder if this is all good to be true. we sat there, ate, and talked. Then we left back to my house where his car was parked. We stood outside for a little while until he had to leave in order to go to work. I didn't invite him up since my place kinda looked like a toronado went through it... and when he went up he only saw the bathroom with it's CareBear shower curtain... *i'm such a girl* I've never felt like that before and it was nice to not just be thought of as trying to get in my pants. So he's tall.. and it kinda all felt like a dream. He's tall... cute... adorable... sweet... a gentleman... caring.. sensitive... not a prude (which is a plus b/c of my humor sometimes)... he's got a job... independent.... is sooo my type.. I just don't want to freak him out by going on about him too much. So I hugged him, and thanked him when he had to leave to make it to work. We hugged again and he gave me a good night kiss.
Never before have I been taken out on a date like that! It kinda had the Fairy tale twist to it... but the best part about it was that it was ALL real - not just something that I've made up in my mind! I was so giddy for the rest of the night... and was just kinda floating on a cloud. I have NEVER until last night, had anyone treat me like that.. and I loved it. I want more good times like that...
Here's to new and good opportunities!
