I've only just begun!

Well, the botanical gardens stroll was nice. Good conversation. Sat till it got dark on a bench and then went to dinner.

Or what I thought was going to be dinner and I hadn't eaten all day so I was hungry. I even made kids dinner before I went and didn't eat that so I could have dinner with him.

A few things that bothered me, When he pulled up to meet me ( Iwas getting in his car so he could drive us) he didn't get out of the car to greet me. (weird?)

The we got to dinner and they asked to seat us he said " we will sit at a table in the bar section, they have a great happy hour menu". I thought that was weird. Then the waitress asked us if we wanted a menu and he said "no", then looks at me "unless you want a big dinner". Then he ordered a beer and said "I don't drink beer out much becuse I'm on a budget"... hmmmmm So, I just ordered a beer and told him to order whatever he thought was best to eat.... so he ordered a flat bread thingy (which was good) but got one so we split it. Then at one point towards the end I went to the restroom ane when he came back he got up to go and said, (as he was holdig up the bill holder) "I've alreasdy taken care of this".... ummm ok???? Duh ....


Then we got back to my car we are sitting there in his talking.... he asked me if he could kiss me (while we are sitting in the car) awkard!!!!! Then I got out and HE DIDN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR to put me in my car!!!! Also, he never opened the car door for me once. I am not used to that either....even EXH did that for me on most occasions.

So, the pluses are he is very nice, tons of words of affirmations towards me. I think he is more reserve than me... cause I'm pretty out there with the humor. But, I think he really really likes me and I am not sure how to sloooooow it down. He broke up with his GF a year ago and hasn't dated anyone since..... so I want to be careful of his heart. Because he is genuinly nice and honestly I would need to go out with him a few more times before I could call it either way.

Now, I am not saying that being on a budget is a bad thing, but seriously if you offer to meet me at 5:30 for date.... that includes dinner it includes dinner. Take me to McDonald's or whereever you can afford but let me eat! Plus I drove an hour to do that and had to drive an hour back home......

And my makeup compact fell out of my purse into his car so I will have to see him again to get that..... but the timing sucks between distance and kids.
