Updated as promised...

I'm sure you all were on the edges of your seats, overflowing with anticipation on how last night went... so here it goes:

Keep in mind.. this wasn't a date!!! LOL

We both worked 10-7 yesterday, and decided to leave his bike there and take my car. (He doesn't drive.) He was a good sport and came home with me so that I could take the puppy out and make sure all was well.

Then we were off. We decided to walk on the bike path near the mall that goes around a pond. (The Coral-Ridge Mall is only a few blocks away from my house.)

We chatted the whole time that we were walking, and rested on a downed tree for a few minutes. We talked about so many things! It was nice to have someone talk with me and he seems really interested in what I want to say. He doesn't interrupt me or make some lame and stupid sentence back at me when he doesn't catch something I say.

We sat on the grass and just talked for at least an hour or two. He's been through so much, it's amazing that he's still standing and pushing ahead.

I was starting to get famished, so we decided to head to his Aunt's house, where he is staying until he can once more get his own place. (He didn't cause his uproot-ment from his previous apartment. I got the impression that he can't wait to have the money to once more be on his own.)

He fixed me a really good loose meat roast sandwich, and then we continued to get better acquainted. After awhile, I introduced him to the House of 1000 Corpses and the Firefly family that resided there. We talked some more after that, and didn't run out of anything to say! The only reason the night ended was because it was getting late, and I was falling asleep. I think it was a little near three this morning when I fell into bed this morning.

The last thing I was aware of was his text: "Good night dalaga." He knows Filipino, he studied abroad in high school I think it was. He's called me maganda dalaga before, which is 'pretty lady'. I think it's rather sexy, knowing another language.


But I digress. It wasn't a date, but it was a wonderful time, I got out of the house and rather enjoyed myself.

.......................
...it...I was... AUUUGHHH! I forgot just what the heck I was going to say next, but I do know that I have accounting homework due tomorrow, so I must go do that now.

Comments are always welcome, I'd love to hear what you have to say, as always!!

Peace.

It was definitely a good thing, last night was.. and he's well rounded, intelligent, doesn't dabble in anything illegal.

Don't worry about me taking my time.. I'm enjoying single-dom!!

Sounds like you had a wonderful and relaxing time. I'm sure he'll have trouble just staying friends, but hopefully he's a patient fellow. Sounds like a gentleman, which is nice.


*hugs you*

I really don't think that he'll have that trouble.. but it's okay. Not really wanting to date. Had enough of clingy, whiny, and argumentative guys for awhile..

Just because you're not ready to get back into the date scene doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself.
