Don, I reread the post a few times. I’m not mistaking anything.
Bttfly, thank you. You also described it well. I am getting what I had hoped for. And I do need to relax enough to enjoy it, make sure it’s consistent and that I am not accepting any less than what I want or deserve. I’m enjoying myself. I am having fun making plans with someone who wants to do stuff. Who is excited to see me. We are going to a concert together in March. Fun date! He is wants to take a cooking class with me I was interested in. He likes to just chill with me and binge on Netflix. It’s fun stuff! We have the same idea on enjoyable travel. I don’t feel like I have to pretzel to him.
I am eyes wide open, I am constantly evaluating. But I am enjoying. Because if you enter intuitions with a pessimistic attitude, you set yourself up for misery. If you go in with a positive attitude, it’s good.
I’m sure he finds it thrilling that I’m a young hot thang. But I don’t think that’s the only reason he is interested. I’m sweet, I’m fun, I’m independent and I’m successful. I feel like he sees that in me.
On a side note a crazy OLD story. Remember that guy with the 3 kids I went on that date with back in October and he acted all weird and we never got together again even though he talked a good talk?
Brace yourselves. The census for the whole hospital comes up on my computer. And there he is in the ICU for sever alcohol withdrawal. I obviously couldn’t open the chart, but I can see the diagnosis. He is a raging alcoholic. I had no clue because he had 1 drink because he is a type one diabetic. I have a feeling he was an alcoholic before he got diagnosed and he went back to it. Unbelievable. It had me a little shook today.
Anyways, E was going to have me come by before he went to tennis, but his son wasn’t going to the gym until later.
It’s really nice he wants to see me when he can. We won’t be able to see each other until this weekend.
