Mr. Date Update

I did manage to actually stay offline for one night. I think it was helped by the fact that on 7/9, I did end up meeting Mr. Date, for our second date. As confused as I was, I did want to see him again and we ended up meeting for our disc golf, dinner, bowling, darts, talk date. The date went really well, we had a lot of laughs and spent over 4 hours sitting in the parking lot of Kmart talking, laughing and singing. We went our separate ways at 4:30a.m. and it ended with a long, too long, hug. Yep, a second date, 11 hours at that, and we hugged goodbye. I went into work on my way home and did a few things and managed to get home at 6a.m. for a few hour siesta before starting another day.

Mr. Date was working en route between my commuter job and home. He said if I had time to swing by and see him. I wasn't really sure where I was going, but I did find it and we found each other, inadvertently as I was seeking high wattage bulbs for my spot light. Mr. Date is a Loss Prevention Specialist, or at least that's the name I've dubbed for him. So he walks around the store acting like a customer all day catching shoplifters. Not my ideal job, since I hate shopping, but to each their own. We walked around the store and then he walked me out to my car. I detoured through some outbuildings/sheds in the parking lot thinking maybe we would kiss, but yeah nope. At my car though, he went in for the kiss and I did the bob and weave duck for the hug. I'm not one for giving people bragging rights and seeing that he was on the clock in the middle of a parking lot with surveillance and his co-w0rkers likely watching, no thanks. So that's three times seeing him and two hugs.

We've been in touch a lot. He wants to date me and get to know me more. I'm freaked out about the kid thing and the distance. I do like him, but afterall this is the first guy I have met and went out on a date with, so ready to see whatelse might be out there. He did invite me to Chicago with him this weekend to spend time with him and meet the family, which I declined. Three times in 5 days is enough for me.
