putting my big girl panties on

Not goodbye, just not committed to regular updates or keeping up on threads.

Well the date today was really great. We walked for three hours along the beach on a sunny gorgeous day. It was an inspiring location, and the conversation was enjoyable, with comfortable silences. I was nervous and excited, but able to stay in the moment and be present with my companion. It was flattering to see his obvious (but respectful) appreciation of me, and he mentioned wanting to follow up with a second date (dinner). He is a remarkable person who has an interesting career and a grounded and rich personal life.

Also, today the other guy invited me to a "romantic" (his words) restaurant for dinner. Due to scheduling challenges that will only be 9 days from now. But he is definitely attractive and interesting and I would like to get to know him better. He gets an enthusiastic endorsement from my friends, so that counts for a lot.

Two attractive and interesting men who want to date me?? Wow. Life is being really good to me right now.
