is it a sign of certain doom if, by the second date, i am not interested in jumping on the person with whom i had the date? i'm still trying to get used to the idea that i'm "dating" at all; it's been nearly five years since i actually dated someone. and i'm not sure that i'm ready to jump immediately into really dating somebody...i was sort of envisioning finding lots of interesting people to talk to, maybe go on a couple of interesting dates, and then maybe,maybe, finding someone i wanted to hang out with on a far more permanent basis.
and he really is a good guy. and i should be happy that he's so interested in me. we were walking to my car, and he stopped and said "why don't you kiss me." and i managed to sputter out "uhhmmm. because i don't think i'm ready to do that...i don't really know you." nice, beat, real nice.
and the thing is, it's not like i never want to see the guy again. in fact, that would make me sad. but i'm not ready to jump in over my head with someone who is still, for all intents and purposes, a stranger to me. and i don't know if it should worry me that he seems to be heading in that direction, or if i should just be flattered. or if i should just never have left my cave. advice? comments? help?!
good lord what have i gotten myself into? --beatpoetgrrl
