As it turns out...the dating thing is not, in fact, on hold. I ended up meeting a guy last Friday that had e-mailed me from myspace last week. His name is Steve and he looks like this (1st pic above). We talked on the phone after I had asked him if he wanted to join us at Canterbury for the evening. I think he freaked out (just a tiny bit maybe) and said he'd like to talk with me on the phone to get to know me a little better first. So, he called me Friday and we chatted and decided to meet for a walk, which actually turned out to be a short walk and then we sat at a picnic table for a while and chatted. We hit it off pretty well, didn't run out of conversation material and he was very complimentary and sweet to me. He's a super nice guy, that's for darn sure. So, he was very busy telling me how beautiful I am and how gorgeous my eyes are and we were just sitting facing each other, then I think we hugged and I initiated the first kiss, which was quite nice. He decided to accompany me to Canterbury, everyone liked him a lot...we went back to Dana's for a while with Suzanne and the gang and held hands a bit. He dropped me off (since we had dropped my car at the apartment before heading to the track) and we made out in his truck for quite a while. Then, I talked to him on the phone a couple times on Saturday, he called right away in the morning on his way to his softball tournament to thank me again for the night before and tell me what an awesome time he had and I ended up seeing him on Saturday night for a while again with Stacy. Last night we talked on the phone for 2 1/2 hours and it flew by like nothing! He's taking me to dinner tonight and I am really looking forward to seeing him again, even more so than I thought I would be. He is just so thoughtful, considerate, charming, complimentary, flattering and unassuming...what girl isn't going to like that.
And apparently, when it rains it pours. As I said in my previous post, in a fit of disappointment I decided to cancel my Match.com subscription and the very next day had an e-mail from a very cute guy, who I have since e-mailed and just heard back from today. His name is Joseph and he is on the right above. I'm hoping that I will hear back from him but it should be interesting because Suzanne committed a rather grave error earlier this morning. She's been keeping tabs on all the goings on and wanted me to forward the e-mail that Joseph had sent me. So, I did that, only when she replied to it she mistakenly sent it to Joseph instead of to me. There wasn't anything awful said, except that she said something about how it sounded like he came from money too, which is never a bad thing! So, I pretty much just laughed it off but she was really upset with herself. I ended up e-mailing Joseph and explaining the error and I said that I hoped he hadn't taken offense at anything that was said or the fact that I shared it with her in the first place. I really hope that I hear back from him though because, as you see, he is a beautiful man! He already mentioned potentially meeting for a drink sometime so I hope to hear back soon.
But, for the time being...I'm very much looking forward to my dinner with Steve tonight! It feels so great to be dating again.
