Maybe I'm Not so Broken After All

So, one of teh guys that expressed an interest in getting to know me on the flirt app happens to be a long time friend of my frmer Tai Chi instructor. This guy is also about 5 miles from me andasked me out tonight. Because we have rpeople in common, I felt ok about meeting him for dinner, so I said ok.

 

I thought we we clicked pretty well. We have a lot of common interests and know several people in common. The conversation wound from Kung Fu/Tai Chi to hockey and baseball, to high school, to family, to pets, to movies, to I don't even rememberb all of the topics any more. I'm not sure when we managed to eat our meals, we were so busy talking. I thought we had a really good time and I thought he felt the same way. We gave each other a hug at the end of the night and I was home again before midnight.

 

This guy is 42, only a tear younger than I am, graduated from a rival high school to the one I graduated from, but we agreed not to hold that against each other, LOL, owns his own house, has 1 full-time and 1 part-time job, working for Verizon full time and teaching Kung Fu part time. He is stable, well read, and intelleget.

 

The reason I say I felt like we clicked is that, of course, I've only just gotten home and we'll see if what I felt was returned, if he calls me for another date. I'd like him to call, but I am not going to lose sleep over it. I think he will cal, bu if he doesn't, well, he isn't the only guy in Tampa.

 

What was really nice is that he treated me like a lady, with respect, and made me feel like he really cared about what I had to say. Of course, we were talking, a lot, about memories of things time we havehad with people we both know. How we managed not to meet sooner, I do not know, but I'm glad we met now. And my havin had strokes didn't matter to him. He thoutht Monster was great and has a dog himself. Hopefully our next date will be an afternoon at the dog park. There is one about half way between his place and mine where we can meet. But, like I said, we'll see what happens.

 

In the mean time, I can fall asleep tonight having had a nice evening, with a really nice guy who, I think, thought I was a really nice lady. All-in-all, it was a really nice night.
