I had a date.

I met Bill, a 29-year-old engineer, for a late dinner at Applebee's last night. It went well, I guess. Sounds like he wants to see me again.

I'll keep you informed. ;)

LOL. Well, I have to be careful what I say on here, as he has found my blog through my Yahoo profile. ;)

BUT, I'll say this:

The date was actually a very good first date. The conversation flowed pretty easily, he's got a great smile and nice eyes and I didn't spill on myself, trip, etc. As I told him, though, I just don't LIKE first dates, period; I feel like so much of it is almost like a job interview until a few weeks in. I like the phase that comes once you've been hanging out a while, and you can truly be yourself, be comfortable just sitting there watching TV, etc. So I guess that's when I meant by my lack of earlier enthusiasm. The date was WONDERFUL. IT WAS FABULOUS. HE IS THE BEST PERSON EVER. (There, Bill, was that better?) ;)

Oops there were more questions.

We met through Match.com; I put up a profile when I knew for sure that I'd be coming back here. I wanted to find people to hang out with and, if I was REALLY lucky, someone to hang out with during the upcoming holidays (cuz Lord knows I'll have to get out of the house). ;) We've been talking online for the last few weeks, which is probably part of the reason this first dinner went well--we already had stuff to talk about, knew a little about each other, etc.

No kiss. He was a gentleman and didn't try (don't know if he wanted to). He did give me a hug, though. He smelled really good.

"Where the hands are" ? What are the choices?

PS, I saw him again tonight and he's a really good kisser. ;)
