Ok, so, I have another first date/meeting tomorrow and I'm kinda stoked! A quick note or two on the site and then exchange of personal info; phone#, e mail. Now, date. :yahoo:

She rides her OWN bike and rides MORE than I do which is saying something. Has a really kewl job where she has flexibility. Lives not too far away and is up here, close by, regularly and has friends nearby she stays with when her travels bring her this way.

I called her this am. Not too long, not too short. Nice conversation. Was open and relaxed about herself and asked appropriate questions in return. I don't mean that to sound clinical but, just, what, normal, to be expected "I'm interested" questions. So, she's way ahead there. :lol:

Clearly good intelligence level. That is the part that has me excited.

She told me I have to pick the place because she doesn't know the area well enough, nor exactly where I am. I offered up to really good first date choices and she picked one. Right away. None of this "Gee, golly, I dunno, you pick..." Decisive. I've always liked that.

Sounds good!

I don't consider casual conversation about generalities to be 'brave'. If it ever gets that far, someone who is a good fit for me would be flattered that I'd given it so much thought. :shrug:

OK. I see you don't take compliments well. That's ok. I don't either. :lol:

Uh, well, I thought it was just an innocent comment as was my reply.

Well, I meant you are putting your love life on the forum. Thus, my 'brave' remark. It was well intended on my part, and I guess innocent if that is the word you want to use. Like I said, I wish you the best. That's all.

I took no offense and meant none in return.

The good parts, personal stuff, won't make it on here. :buddies:

No offense taken. My serious side is stronger than my humorous side. I try. :smack: That smack is for me! :lol: I enjoy your posts, no matter what subject. :buddies:

Edit: Now, that I think about it, post the personal stuff, too! My attempt at humor. :lol:

Second best first date. Ever.

Intelligent. Interesting. I think she is a good person. Got no 'ugly bitch on the inside' hint, at all. Volunteers once a week working with special ed kids (should come in handy dealing with me) Rides her own bike. A lot. Flexible, cool job. Catches my sense of humor. Totally can hold up her end of a conversation. I only said "####" once and it seemed to put her at ease. :angel: Seems like a good mom. Really good, actually. Reminds me of a certain other excellent mom I know. Daughter off to college. Son in the Corps. Dog person. Gun person. Laughs freely, openly. I think there is a good solid smart ass in there that peeked out once or twice, which I adore. We burned up 4 good hours. She likes her ahi properly.

Very interested in getting her impressions. She asked me on the way out if we'd do this again. Very sweet the way she asked.

How does she feel about organic salad?

Funny you should ask...

She got there before me, had no idea I supply the place or, that I specifically serve restaurants and, before I recommended the ahi, she'd said she saw a fabulous looking salad come out she was thinking about.

I think she's a 'go' on NATURAL salad. :lol:

Do second best first dates lead to second best relationships?

Good question. My first thought is that they are unrelated. Great dates, awful dates, somewhere in between, I know people who've had great ones that went nowhere, bad ones that became the one, ones in between, love at first sight, even people who couldn't stand one another at first sight. If they correlate, that bar to #1 is so high that I'd be fine with that. FWIW, I'm up at 2am thinking about her.
