A New Development

So yesterday was an interesting day. I woke up thinking I would finish my laundry, clean the house, maybe rent a movie and … oh yeah … I had made a date with one of the online guys I had met – which I thought would be a quick coffee after dinner. I was a rainy day so I decided I wanted to make my favourite soup (Tomato, Lentil and Potato … mmm).

I started making soup when Mr. Online popped up on my messenger wanting to chat. We started chatting and told me he was bored and I told him I was making soup and we went back and forth joking for a bit until he commented we were suppose to go on a date today. Oh yeah … well what should we do on a rainy day? Again we went back and forth for a bit on different options then settled on lunch. We agreed to meet at a coffee shop in my neighbourhood at around 2pm and go from there. And go we did.

First we went for lunch at a pub and made small talk over munchies and coffee. The man doesn’t drink (if he only knew the girl he was running with) so I decided it was best if I stuck to the caffeine vice as oppose to the boozy one. After lots of pub food and conversations about work, life, not eating meat (me), not drinking (him), we headed off to the mall to do a bit of shopping. We talked and shopped and walked through the mall for about an hour buying an assortment of things (cologne, silver polish, a Bluetooth, a exfoliating glove). We completed our once through the mall and decided to rent a movie and go back to his place.

As we were driving towards the movie store I commented that we should go to the casino. “Really. Do you ever go to the casino?” He asked “No I have never been to the casino here.” I replied with a laugh. Then we started sharing gambling stories and less than ten minutes later, still in the car, he said “Let’s do it” and we headed to the casino where he showed me how to play craps. Once his money was gone we headed to the movie store where we rented three movies, bought two hopped back in the car and went to his apartment.

Once at his place we watched two movies, I gave him a shoulder massage, we snuggled, made out and talked, a lot. I told him about the SSM and that I wanted to take this slow because of him and because we just met. He was very cool about all of it and really good at drawing conversation out of me. All in all the date was about 11hours and we are going to do it again sometime soon.

Oh how quickly everything changes here in the world of the single girl.

Happy Monday
