How the Date(s) went.

So…I said I’d let people know how the date went.  In a single word…amazing.  To go into more detail she and I met at Northern Lights grabbed a coffee (Well, Chai.) and sat in the green across from the cafe.  That was at about six.  We sat and talked until eleven that night.  We talked about everything even at some point talked about dumpster diving and having a good laugh about it.  I kept her laughing practically the whole night without activly TRYING to be funny.  Spiritually she’s where I think I’m going with my current trains of logic and tendencies.  We agree on many basics of metaphysics and spirituality her just having more detail and depth in her beliefs because she’s held them and experienced them longer.  

So, after the date was over I was left with a smile on my face and an overall excitement as well as a bit of worry.  She had said the day before that she was talking to another fellow about the same length of time and had seemed to have some chemistry with him.  I know my "luck."  And felt that as amazing as I thought the evening went she would see it as going nowhere except Platonically. 

I get home and shortly thereafter get a text from her saying that she had a great time and that we should do it again.  I spent the majority of the night somewhere between excitement and fear.  The next morning she’d written me a note about a question I’d asked, basically "if you rulled America, how would you run it?"  so we spent a bit of time e-mailing that back and forth.  And I posed the question:  "When is too soon to see you again?"

To which I got the most delightful answer:  "This morning."  So…we spent the rest of that night hashing out another date for last night.  The agreement started with more coffee, but we’d already been there and done that so I proposed going on a small picnic in a park area, she loved that idea.  So, we hashed out most of the details (except for where we were going).  So, I spent the day yesterday researching Trivia questions, parks in the area, and screwing around with Pandora.  So, we met up, went to a grocer, bought a few snack foods, then went to a place I found called Seven Tubs, which aparantly she discovered just a week before and fell in love with.

We get there and go off on a short hike into the wilderness and found a nice clearing by an eddie that was fairly well shaded and comfortable.  I lay down the vinyl I’d brought (it’d rained all day/the day before) so the ground was very wet.  We sat and talked a while, then layed and talked a while.  I just got lost in her eyes…and then she asked me if I was going to kiss her.  I made a slight joke about it…but not before going in for a kiss.  It was one of the most amazing kisses I’ve ever had, it was a fairly short sweet kiss, but…it was so…empassioned.  We talked for a bit more and then decided as the sun was going down we should probably leave.  So, we pack up and head out and start to discuss where we were going from there because I at least wasn’t ready to say goodnight.

I offered somewhat hesitantly if she’d like to come back to my place so I could cook her a small dinner and we could just sit and talk some more.  She agreed fully.  So, as we got there she parked herself in front of my library and had a field day looking through my books, then we went up and waited while dinner cooked (I made sure to prepare something that didn’t require precise timing or constant care because I knew there was a chance we could get lost in conversation).  Which, we did get lost in conversation…as well as…well.  Anyway.  As we were sitting there with all the cats/kittens she was snuggled up against me and it just felt so natural and right…

We sat there after dinner and everything until almost midnight, just talking and being together.  So, she had to get going because she had work the next morning so we drove back to where my car was, I kissed her goodnight again and asked when I could see her again.  She’s busy this weekend so it won’t be until some time next week but…I’m looking forward to this journey…

"Unfortunately" this journey has somewhat distracted me from Ghostbusters.  I’ve only played it for two hours.  So much for my three day gaming marathon I promised myself!  Anyway, that’s where I’m going right now actually.

Toodles.
