“Can I see
you this weekend?” Followed by, “Hope
you like Cuban food and espionage!” This
is how he asked me out and the hint he gave me towards the weekend date.
Date 2 with
Mr. Intellect was wonderful! Again I was
entirely way too nervous for this date.
On some levels I even wanted to cancel because I was exhausted and the
date had not even started yet. First – I
decided I need to do a total refresher cleaning of my apartment during the week
leading up to the date. And
unfortunately I do not do a total clean of my apartment very often. Between working fifty plus hours, doing all
my laundry, and all my chores – this date was beginning to seem more like a
hassle than a fun adventure. And oh the hours stressed about for the perfect second date outfit. I went with the below because the weather was so perfectly fall that boots and a scarf were required.
But luckily
I grudged on and was very caffeinated and primped when he picked me up at
5:30. Within minutes of walking with him
throughout the city, I am immediately felt at easy and so silly for my earlier
anxiety.
We headed
to the museum for the espionage exhibit.
Again I felt a bit nervous. Was
this going to be fun? Could we get through a whole museum exhibit with no
alcohol? Why were there so many children running around this museum? But again – I was quickly amazed at how
quickly conversation flowed. He is
extremely intellectual and could tell me stories about the specific spies often
citing prior books he read or documentary he had seen. I on the other hand kept focusing on how cool
the gadgets were and my life skills which would have made me an incredible spy
;-)
After an hour
of walking through the exhibit, we headed out of the museum but not before
sneaking past a few closed doors to see some of the other exhibits which had
closed at 5:00. Something about the
sneakiness and the thrill of being in this huge museum alone was so fun! Now off to our dinner reservations.
Big winning
moment for Mr. Intellect. While walking
from museum to dinner, he noticed I was a bit chilly and immediately offered to
swing by my house for a jacket before dinner.
Ladies this may seem like a small gesture but I was so taken back by his
concern for me and his want to make sure I was comfortable. It felt so darn good to have someone thinking
about me like that and also so unfamiliar all at once.
Dinner was
great and he was very easy to talk with.
We continued to laugh through dinner.
He ordered us some great food and a pitcher of Sangria. By the time the check came, I didn’t even
pretend to reach because it was so obvious that he was going to be paying.
He ended
dinner by announcing it was time that we head home and check on my puppy. I am sure he probably knew what he was doing
on some levels, but I ate it up entirely.
An interesting, caring man and he wanted to hang out with my puppy –
this evening was going great.
Mr.
Intellect ending up staying at my home for hours and hours. We lingered over a bottle of wine and ended
up turning on one of my favorite movies.
After what seemed like forever he finally kissed me. Mr. Intellect has the moves to go with his
seniority over me and was nothing but a gentleman. Kept it classy and only kissed!
His
physique is totally my type. Tall,
slender and strong! When he finally
left, he promised to take me out again next weekend and told me he would miss
me in between! Hold on ladies because I
am so totally smitten with Mr. Intellect and can’t wait for our next date.
Trying to
remain level headed and stay in the moment.
There were a few red flags and I must remember I am not really looking
for my true “match” right now. I am on a
quest to find myself and figure out what I like. One things for sure, I do enjoy kissing good
looking men and going out on Saturday night dates ;)
Love reading your blog. It's great to see you growing and overcoming such a trial in your life. Have fun!!
