And tonight was Date #6 with HG. We finally got to go ice skating! It was actually low 40s and misting so not cold at all! As soon as we got on the ice I was wobbly and he held his hand out to me. So we held hands the whole time we were skating. Which is the most action we have had so far!
The downer was I just got my hair done (cut/highlights and lowlights) today but with all the mist it got pretty deflated and drowned rat looking...on the bright side it got kind of wavy which it never does normally.
While skating I saw one of Nathan's classmates...I don't think he saw HG since we were waiting to buy bottles of water at the time and not holding hands. Nathan doesn't know I am dating so that would be awkward. I also ran into a high school classmate on the ice; had not seen him in 10 years so that was kind of wild...
Anyway we went skating for about 90 minutes, then we walked around the Old Market area of Omaha--google it, it's a nice little area! There is a little river-stream running through the area so we went down to the water's edge and walked the trail there, all the trees had lights in them and it was quite pretty. I got the feeling he might have wanted to kiss me while we were walking, but he didn't.
Then we walked back up to street level and he asked if I wanted to get a drink. So we went to a brewery place and got a beer and split some chips and salsa.
When he walked me back to my car he said he had fun and (again) said he wasn't really ready for anything serious and just enjoyed hanging out with me when our schedules lined up. He said this right after giving me an extra long hug and me just enjoying being there in his arms for a bit...it is clear he is really gun shy. He said he was having some drama with his daughters (his ex just announced she is moving into her boyfriend's house so now the girls will be living with the OM half the time...ick...and they don't want to live there) and he was not sure how much support they would need.
I just told him no worries, glad your daughters are your priority one bc my kids are for me, too. That I had no plans or expectations and just enjoyed hanging out when we got the chance. Maybe this makes me weird, but I meant it. I don't want a serious relationship right now, just companionship and time with someone I like spending time with when I can.
