Happy Again?

I met someone new. Sure didn’t take me long huh? And the thing was, I was so NOT looking, quite the opposite.
 
Actually it was this guy that my best friend Kelly had told me about months ago, he’s a friend of hers and she thought he and I would be perfect for each other. Anyways his name is Vince.
 
Last night was a bday/house party thing for Brent and Joe, at Vince’s place. He has a big and very sweet house. There was like 60 people at the party, Vince’s band was playin in the garage, and they had a big bonfire/bbq thing goin on outside. I hadn’t been to a party that big in quite some time, so it was cool. I felt kinda out of place for awhile, I get that way when I’m around people I don’t know. But then Kelly introduced me to Vince, who then pulled me aside to put on some Killswitch Engage, which was pretty awesome. Both Rob and Kelly said they’d never seen him pull anyone aside out of a party to hang out alone before (so that was really flattering) . He’s the type who likes to play the good host, and mingle to make sure everyone is having a good time.
 
Anyways he’s older than me, 33…not 23 like Chris. Which is good, I want a man not a boy. He’s got a good job and stuff, he’s tattooed and pierced, he plays guitar in a band, and he’s a total metalhead too.  So yeah lol, totally my type.
 
The coolest part is when we went and hung out together the second time, he didn’t beat around the bush like most guys, he came right out and said what he thought, and asked me to do something with him alone so we could hang out and get to know each other. He thought I was in my early 20’s before so he was unsure about asking me before, but he was happy to find out I’m almost 27.   It’s nice to finally meet a mature man not some stupid kid like I usually end up with.  Oh, and another plus…he comes from a stable family and doesn’t have a drug history. So already the guys got some major potential, hehe. I wasn’t expecting to be even slightly interested in him, especially cuz of my recent situation, but the guy has an aura about him that gets my attention big time. I found myself watching him most of the night, I couldn’t help myself. He saved me from his drunk friend who kept trying to hug me lol.
 
We exchanged numbers and he told me he’d call today because he was gonna take me out on his motorbike. I told myself not to hold my breath. I tried not to think about him. I really tried to push it all into the back of my mind, but I couldn’t sleep…and when I did, he was in my dream. I tried to tell myself that he probably wouldn’t call me, he’d be like most other guys and I wouldn’t hear from him. But he did call me this afternoon, and we’re gonna hopefully hang out tomorrow or something.
 
I’m gonna take shit easy this time, I want to go slllloooooowwwww becuz I don’t wanna end up screwed over again. But I’m excited and looking forward to getting to know this guy. He seems really sweet, and spent like 20 minutes talking about me to Kelly last night. That put a big ol smile on my face lol. Anyways, we’ll see how things go.
