He totally is… that’s why I think you should have an upcoming weekend event planned or ready to suggest. Get it on his calendar early!

Ooh, I like Kate’s too!!!!

And also, thank you Kate!

I agree with Kate. I think bringing it up casually in conversation is a great idea. No pressure. Kind of like a hey… what are you looking for… let him know you’re interested kind of way.

I botched up a first kiss with the “kid.” And we both thought we were friend zoned. We still hung out… and eventually we figured out that we were both interested in something more. So, what I’m saying is, even though it sucks putting yourself out there, it’s ok to be open or a little forward otherwise you’re constantly second guessing yourself.

Oh, he was the last guy I dated. That was about 1.5 years ago. We were pretty good friends first, and I was smitten the first time we met. I think he was too. But we took it really slow. It ended because he moved to Colorado. It was awful and I was pretty sad about it. I talked a lot about him on here because it was just such an emotional whirlwind. Since then, I haven’t wanted to date, until now.

I can’t stress enough how much this new guy makes me laugh/smile. My face literally hurts after we’re done hanging out because that’s all I’m doing. Last night, I tried to not smile… and couldn’t turn my face into a frown at all. Fuck, I’m smiling just thinking about it.

Ooh… he’s 100% against type, physically, for me too. Maybe that’s a good thing? Wait, he does have blue eyes. So, that’s the only thing that’s on par with type. I usually date guys who could pass if not for my brother, or at least cousin… so similar looks to me. This new dude is not.

Oh my god veritek, I’m so glad you started this thread! Yay for you and your dates! It sounds like a great time. Don’t worry about taking it slow… I think that’s a good sign. Also, I think no weekend dates if totally fine at first, but be sure to try and schedule one soon.

Soo… I had a third date Sunday. He lives in a high rise downtown, so we had a pool/bbq date. I have so much fun with him. Every time we’ve been out, we laugh consistently. Our sense of humor is similar and he’s really smart.

The catch? We work together, well not together, just at the same company. I’m not really concerned with that. I’ve had successful work relationships in the past. So, I guess it’s not a catch. Also, this is the first guy I’ve dated since the “kid.” For those of you familiar with that story.

We have another date Wednesday.

And I lost a bet, so there will be a fifth.

I’m a little concerned we’re moving too fast. But not so concerned that I want to spread out the dates more.
