Don't Stop Believin'...

Haha, Is it possible to find a male version of you (like in a good way)???

I don't know how else to put it. I went on a date with the younger guy (that's what we will call him now ;)) and we really hit it off. We have a ridiculous amount in common! I mean we like A-LOT of the same things, have had similar life experiences (including a long term relationship/engagement gone wrong) and seem to have the same outlook on life.

OK so we met for dinner after work last Friday. And holy crap, I am extremely comfortable around him and was having a lot of fun just talking and being silly. So date going well so far, we decided to go bowling (he wanted to go play putt putt but it was rainy). We went drop my car off at his house and I met his TWIN and his sis in law. They were nice from what I can tell, but I was only there for 5 minutes. BUT I did get to play with the 4 month old yellow labmix puppy!!!! Who then peepeed all over the floor because she was so excited... ooops my bad, dogs like me, haha. Anyways he kicked my butt in bowling! But I guess it doesn't help that I SUCK at it, hahaha. So we got a pitcher of beer (romantic right ;) haha) and were bowling and I realized how cute he is. Plus he has the greatest personality so then I was like crap I like him... I wonder if he likes me?! But then my question was answered really quick when he came up behind me and hugged me...YAY! Hahaha.

After bowling he was like lets just go hang out someplace...OK. So we go to a bar nearby and he was DYING for a cigarette (yucky :P) because we'd been drinking and he was really embarrassed about it but it was our 1st date so I didn't want to be like no you cannot have one...so I said how about I go to the bathroom and you do whatever you need to. After I couldn't really tell but we were in a bar sooooo I dunno. We talked for a while about...everything. It was crazy, I don't think I've ever talked that much on a 1st date! Well the bar decided to shut down at like 11 so he was like wanna go hang out at my house. My first thought was no, but he didn't seem like a crazy person so I said OK. And no he is not crazy ;).

We sat on his couch in the living room (his bro and sis in law were in bed). We talked some more (good lord ;) haha). Then I turned when he asked me a question and he kissed me which I wasn't expecting for some reason. Wow...good kiss :D hehe. And I was a little leary about it because I've kissed a smoker before and it was kinda...well not really nice. Well this was nice...really nice. So for the next few hours (hush :P) we were laying on the couch kissing and talking. It was such a great date! But finally at 2AM!!! I was like holy crap I have to go. Which by now it was STORMING and I had quite a drive ahead of me :P. So he walked me out to my car and kissed me again, hehe, and asked me to call him when I got home.

Well on my way I get a call from my roommate...he was drunk and needed a ride... GREAT! So I went pick up his drunk butt. That was intersting. He was all hanging on me telling me how great a friend I was and that he's glad I don't hate him anymore and I am so great, blah blah blah. I was like I know, I love drunk talk , haha. Anywho, I talked to youger guy when I got home. He said he had alot of fun and would really like to see me again. Yay!!! So I think I definitely want to go out with him again.

It is a little weird though because he is just a few months older than my LITTLE BROTHER! And I am the same age as his OLDER SISTER. Argh! haha. I mean I look the same age as him (and he looks young) sooo its stupid I know, but I've never dated a guy younger than me :D But I like him so I guess we'll see what happens. We are supposed to get together again this weekend!

1st, 2nd Date - I was not supposed to like him *sigh*

I guess it's true when you least expect it something good happens... (:

So yea I went on a second date with my online interest. It almost didn't happen because my lil bro decided to go and get engaged :D and they did an engagement dinner Friday night. But luckily he didn't mind meeting up later, after the dinner.

So I met him at this local restaurant (he hadn't eaten)...and since I'd already eaten, I went on a liquid diet...I ordered a Dirty Martini, in true NOLA Gurl fashion. We got our drinks and food and talked...A LOT. He is so easy to talk to, nothing in particular came up just getting to know each other better. He is just super sweet and easy going, oh yea and he is kinda cute so I guess that explains the attraction, haha. Well after we sat there for a while with the waiters glaring at us beacuse they wanted to close up (we were not the only people in there but ya get the idea) he asked if I wanted to go see a movie.

Well we went to see Mirrors, that new Kiefer Sutherland movie, not bad. Anyways, while we were waiting for the movie to start we were being goofy. Again NO ONE in the theater when we got there (I guess they all started evacuating for Gustav :P). People showed up eventually but for a while it was just us. It was weird because we are very comfortable with each other so there was lots of teasing and joking, then all of a sudden he kissed me, he he he. It was nice, by the way he is very affectionate. Anyways like I said lots of joking and teasing, so after the kiss I said "Ya know, it's gonna be really hard to top the kiss in the rain", he said he'd take that as a challange, hehehe.

After the movie he walked me to my car and he kissed me again. It was sooooooo sweet. A little awkward though because 1. we were in a parking lot and kinda had an audience and 2. I didn't have on really big heels so I was REALLY short. He texted me later on "I had fun tonight. Goodnight and Sweet Dreams." Aw ;) haha.

I guess I don't know what to think. I was very apprehensive about meeting someone I met on Social Network site. I mean I am glad I did, he's not a freak...so far. It's just weird, I wasn't expecting to like him and want to see him again etc. I need to shut my brain off, haha. Well I am gonna go prepare for Gustav now...stupid hurricane :P

6th, 1st Date (I'm starting to lose count)

I'm on a streak...another good date, YAY!

Wow, I was not expecting to have so much fun. Okay, so I met this guy online (don't judge). We talked via social network site for a while, then I decided to give him my number. So we been talking on the phone and via text for a couple weeks. He seemed really nice, easy to talk to...and based on his pics kinda cute. My only reservation(s): I met him online, he works as a Manager at a home improvement store even though he has a degree and there was one physical thing (superficial I know but it stood out) he has a large forehead... but he still looked cute. Anyways so he finally asked me to go out this weekend.

After dinner at dads I went meet him for a movie. Tropic Thunder...HAHAHAHAHA so wrong in so many ways but Oh so funny!!!!! Anyways when he walked up I was like, why hello there; he was all stylish looking, very attractive. And he is REALLY tall. I had on 4 inch heels, and I came up to his shoulders, hahaha, I am so freaking short. Anyways we watched the movie and it was nice. He held my hand about half way through the movie. He seems very affectionate, I dunno it's just a vibe I got. Well after the movie we went hang out for a little while at this bar/grille, had a couple drinks and chatted.

We talked...ALOT. Just random things, ya know getting to know each other I guess. Well anyways, I completely lost track of time and before I knew it, it was 8:45. I had to go home, I have work early in the AM. We walked outside and were standing under this awning thing. We were waiting to see if the tropical storm going on outside would slack up enough for us to get to our cars. So we talked a little more and I shivered because it was quite windy and damp. So he put his arms around me and hugged me and it was really nice (I could just be attention starved but thats a whole other issue to blog about, haha). So we were standing there and I looked up and I think he was about to kiss me and both of us cracked up laughing because we heard the music from inside. It was Nelly, stepped on my J's...it just didn't fit with the moment.

Well we finally decided to make a dash for the cars, it had slacked up a bit but it was still a fairly steady drizzle. So we get to my car and I throw my purse and all inside. Well of course I am going to hug him and tell him good night he took me to the movies and drinks, I at least gotta say night. So I did and I looked up to say goodnight/thanks and this time he did kiss me :). And I must say, he was the best thus far. It was very romantic, I mean, WOW. So there we were just kissing...in the rain. Talk about getting lost in the moment. Anyways we finally said goodbye and I looked like a drowned rat but thats besides the point, haha. And I couldn't stop smiling, I wasn't supposed to like him, it was just a "sure why not, lets go on a date". I didn't plan on kissing him goodnight, that's not a guaranteed thing on a first date. Well after talking for a couple hours I kinda hoped we might but I totally didn't plan on it especially since it was raining.

So there ya go. I checked something off my must do before I die list, have a romantic kiss with a cute guy in the rain, hehehe. So all in all, I am thinking good date!

My mind is playing tricks on me!

Why do we always fall victim to our 'fantasies'?

I've noticed lately that my mind makes things up (he he he). For instance the guy from my 1st, 1st date. I went on a second date with him. And decided to give the kiss thing another try since we have so much fun together. Yea still not so great. Like, as long as he keeps his tongue in his mouth its great but after that its overwhelming...like I almost feel dirty after. Horrible right?!?

So what is with my brain?!?!?!?! Even though I know I do not like how he kisses I still think about him. Like he's on my mind. And I've already gone through (in my head) how if he's not a great kisser he'd probably lack in other areas, if ya get my drift. I mean not necessarily but in my limited experience I have found a good kisser is good at other things so I can only assume a bad kisser is not good at those things. Not that those things will happen anytime soon with anyone but still, its something to think about.

I just cannot understand why I don't have the same thoughts about the 2nd, 1st date guy who was an AMAZING kisser. You would think he would be the one I think about, right? Which brings me to my crazy thought process. Is personality that important to me? Obviously! I mean the good kisser is a-lot of fun also but there is this connection with the other guy that I do not have with the good kisser guy. I am so confused...
