Day 4

Saturday March 12, 2011

Heyo folks!

So last night (Friday) I went on a date... A REAL date... Like reservations, dinner, dressing up a little, a couple of glasses of Preseco, conversation, just us 2...

Background:

So I met him at my New Years party & he wasn't someone I really took the time to stop & talk to. I was all over the place talking with everyone & he got my attention @ one point of the night & started talking to me & it was the first time that night I really noticed him. I mean, I noticed him before, but this was the first time we really spoke & he asked which one of the people were my boyfriend. I said I was single & I have a hard time with all that stuff & dating because I think guys are shady as all get out. He agreed & we spoke about all of the reservations we both had with guys & dating & relationships. We had a lot of similar views on respectful behavior in relationships. So we spoke a lot that night & we have seen each other & done things together a handful of times ever since.

So onto the story at hand. So he made reservations at a great Thai place in the SOMA district of SF. We sat down & started talking & he asked me about everything going on in my life & remembered things I forgot I even told him. He asked me about my new job & was very supportive of it. I asked about everything that was going on in his life. The kicker of the whole thing was, he looked at me when he spoke & when I spoke as well. He looked right at me... That is very different for a guy... Let alone a gay guy... For those who don't know, gay males...ok most not all gay males are always looking over the shoulder at other things....but he looked at me & was engaged. It was awesome!
He then drove me home & did not come inside. We said our goodbyes outside. He then said, "I want to thank you for being so understanding about my schedule & how busy I am. I feel so bad & I really wanted to spend some time with you & I feel bad I can't spend more time, but I promise you my schedule will return back to normal in a couple of months & want to make it up to you." Uuuhhhhhh how awesome!! So we said our goodbyes & this is to be continued....

What I learned:

There just might be a good guy out there. I also learned what a real date is....normally we go eat & then we...well... Bow chicka bow wow... Brown chicken brown cow...but I was so happy & I felt more fulfilled doing it this way. I was happy & it made me smile & made me feel like I could possibly open up to this guy. Hmmmmm to be continued.
