Haha! It was good. I smiled the whole way home. And it really was what I see as the ideal first date. I’m guessing the text when he got home was a good sign. I’m hoping he asks for a second date. I don’t see why not.....

I was thinking about those who said I want to blown away. I think I have a definition of blown away. Someone I can have great conversation with and feel comfortable me with and am attracted to “blows me away” this time I didn’t look at him as this guy I put on a pedestal. I viewed him as someone I connect with and is smart and funny. I felt more in control and just legit enjoyed my time.

So, he’s been dating for 16 months. He’s had his fun. He told me he honestly went on a date 2 weeks after separation. I was getting the feeling his marriage had been one of those over for a while. He said the woman he went out with lectured him the whole time. He said because there was absolutely no possibility him and his ex were getting back together, he went for it. It was only a 2 hour first date, but I get the idea it was a low conflict divorce of a marriage that was probably dead for a while and they went on their merry ways. Which after M, I could only
Hope for. I am no conflict with my ex so that would be nice.

It was just so chill, and so fun. He poked some fun at our age difference, but to me it’s nothing. He’s 11.5 years older. I’ve dated older.

I’m hoping for a second date for the pure reason I just had such a good time.
