Thanks Kat. I will take it slow. What has me a bit jazzed is that I have been on so many first dates in the last 3 months and this is the first one that really felt different and exciting from the rest. I've been on enough to know when I really click on all levels with someone and when I don't. There have been a couple of first dates that hit the mark at about 80 or 90 percent. This one was a full 100%. I am pretty astute in picking up on red flags and with Barbara, after 6 hours of being with her, there was not a single one - not even close. She has the kindest eyes I've seen in someone in a long time. Of course this is only how I feel about her - dating is a two way street. While she has communicated to me that she is looking forward to seeing me again, I have no idea if she feels the same or is even close. Only time will tell that and I don't intend to rush anything. Just simply enjoy the experience of going out with a kind, beautiful and engaging woman.
My wine tasting date with Joan was pushed back until Monday. Her son unexpectantly decided to come up and visit her today. He lives about 100 miles away so she asked if we could delay the date until tomorrow after work. Admittedly I was much more excited about seeing her again before my Friday night date with Barbara, however I am not ready to simply start limiting myself based on one fantastic date. Close but not yet...
