Online date success!
I had an AMAZING date last night. Seriously, amazing.
Okay, when I first got back into the online dating scene, I had signed up for eHarmony. It.... wasn't going very well. There was a flurry of activity at the start, and then it just sort of ground to a halt, and I haven't seen anyone I'm really interested in meeting in well over a month. So on Katie's recommendation, I signed up for a free site. And within one day, I had found two guys who sounded really great.
One, I will talk about later, because I have a date with him on Friday, and it's quite a story.
The other I met last night. And I really, really, really like the guy.
We met up at the Brewpub, and it was a little awkward at first, as blind dates usually are. And then, out of nowhere, the floodgates just opened, and both of us were yapping all evening. I can't even remember most of what we talked about--just stupid shit. We shared drinking stories, crazy family stories (he's Catholic. His family is a lot bigger than mine. He's got a lot of crazy family stories.), growing-up stories, all sorts of stuff. He almost made me choke and die when he told me he used to refer to one of his coworkers as the Dysentery Fairy. (Say it out loud, I promise you'll at least giggle.) And the hours just slipped away. We met at 7... at 9:30 I vaguely registered that it had gotten dark. At 10:30 he noticed that nearly everyone else was gone; we checked the time and mumbled something about "we should go soon." At 11:30 the servers were stacking the tables, so we took the hint and he walked me to my car, where we stood and talked for at least another 20 minutes. We're getting together Sunday evening; no definite plans yet, but he said he'd email me today and we'd work it out.
It was a really, really great date.
His name is Jason. He's 34. He's in school full-time, getting his Master's in Sports Management. He has the bluest eyes (and the biggest, most delicious arms) I've ever seen. He's funny and smart and we've got tons in common, but we also have enough differences to be interesting to one another. And he's surprising. He's a great big weightlifter dude, and his dog is a Corgi. He's kind of a computer nerd, but he's already signed up for the pig-wrestling contest at the Putnam County Fair next summer. He's a man of contrasts, and I really, really like that.
And he seems to really like me. I'm excited to see where this leads. :-)
