On the way to a house warming party a few weeks ago I was pleasantly kind-of-but-not-really blind-sided by my passenger,
sproutchk, expressing interest in me beyond typical friendship. It was one of the most pleasantly awkward moments I've ever experienced from the driver's seat of a sports car. On one hand I'd suspected this was going to happen but on the other I denied it's possibility because stuff like this simply doesn't happen to me. But it did. And I was surprised. And I am happy that it did.
We've been working through that awkward but fun stage of dating for the past few weeks, getting to know each other and what not. it's been fun. It's been surprising. It's been good.
She's great.
Anyway...it would seem that I'm dating again and so far it's been rather fantastic.
