First date update

RedRedWine2

So, I had my first date today with the guy I've been talking to all week from eharmony...

We planned to meet a local museum at an exhibit we wanted to see. I saw him and he was a little different than pictures, but not unexpected. I was hoping there would be sparks right away, but there wasn't. I think he was nervous...I was too. Museum was super crowded, so that was difficult to get conversation in.But I knew he was an intersting guy and I wanted to talk further, so I suggested dinner. We drove to dinner and conversation started off slow, but then progressed and I think it just was a slow start or the beer talking, but later on I said to myself "Um...I think I want to kiss him". He drove me back to my car (as we met as  the museum) and he walked me to my car and we totally made out like teenagers which was honestly needed and nice. There was talk of a second date...so I think that's good?

I expected sparks to fly right away...but I think this one will take time. He's got alot going for him, so think it's worth seeing where it goes.

Good for you, sounds like you had a fun date.

Good for you.  I often hear people say that good chemistry grows--the intial sparks that people often mistake for chemistry is just sexual attraction that clouds your judgement anyway.  I'm glad you had fun and hope you go on a second date!

I am glad it was a good first date for you. Slow and steady can win the race also.

I think that's true, too. What's really important is that all the other pieces are there (we have similar interests, similar humor, he has his sh!t together, etc.)
