Boys Part 1: The Date

So I had a date Friday night! This is a very rare occurrence for me. And by date, I mean, going out with someone you barely know to see if you'll like each other. I've "gone out" with guys plenty of times, but usually after I've either been friends with them or known them somehow and have already kissed them at least once (like at a party or some random drunk bar thing). This was one of the few real "date" dates, like in the movies. ;-)

It wasn't very formal at all, though. We agreed to meet up for drinks, so we ended up at a bar that served like BBQ or whatever. And I didn't exactly NOT know him, I went to school with his sister for 7 years, but I really never talked to him until recently when I ran into him at a local bar. Then, about a month and a half ago, he ended up being on my bus going home and we talked briefly. I kept thinking about him that night and thinking he was kind of cute and maybe I should see if he's interested, try it out. So I sent him a message on MYSPACE (ahhh, myspace) — as we'd "friended" each other when we ran into each other the first time — and I kind of manipulated him into asking me out (not that he didn't want to and I tricked him, just worked it so I didn't have to do the asking!) and we had a tentative "date" to get a beer together (actually, it was supposed to be the same week I went out for drinks with Catch-22). It got a little postponed, but we finally went out Friday.

And it was...nice. I have to admit, not AMAZING or anything. But I had fun (I DID get pretty wasted, though). He's very sweet and cute and I had fun making out with him. ;-) He's a little bit weird, not in a bad way...just...I can't explain, just a bit weird. Not creepy or anything. CRAZY into Yoga, does like 12 hours a week! But yeah, sweet and cute. And he seems intelligent, and he has (what I would consider) good views on politics and religion (so far as I can tell at this point, anyway). So we'll see. I'm definitely going to try again. I'll try not to drop him too quickly, as I've been prone to do lately. As long as I'm still attracted to him, I'm going to try to keep it going. (I say that b/c THAT keeps happening too...and I can't keep trying if I'm no longer attracted to him enough to even kiss him! But I'm going to try not to be so "Seinfeld" about it! haha)

Big problem (though, maybe NOT a problem) is that I've got an insanely busy schedule and the next time I even have a day to see him is...I don't know when! Probably two weeks! I don't know how this dating thing works and if that's too long...but I kind of want it to go REALLY slow regardless as I enjoy a lot of things about being single...like having a really busy schedule...and being able to kiss/date/give my phone number to anyone...

Which brings me to part 2...

The End...for now!

PS Just realised I didn't give him a name! He shall be...Yoga...simple enough!
