A miscommunication on Friday resulted in me missing a chance for my first date with L. However, we did finally connect and went out to lunch yesterday; he came down my place and picked me up, even though I offered to meet him somewhere (traffic was a bitch here yesterday). He brought me FLOWERS, took me downtown for lunch, held doors, held my chair, held my hand (in case I haven't said it before, I don't think I EVER held hands with J.)...in short L. seems to have all the qualities that I bestowed upon J. without a shred of evidence to support my wishful thinking. What WAS I thinking? It looks like all the things I thought about L., based upon my observations of him at the park, were pretty much on target. Go figure. Of course, he was probably on his best behavior, as I was. I have to say that, after 2+ years of screwing around (so to speak) with online dating, it was refreshing to go on a date the old-fashioned way, with someone I've known for a few weeks and have already established an attraction to and a rapport with. Unfortunately, because of schedules, it doesn't look like we'll be getting together again before the weekend.
I don't think a date has ever brought me flowers before.
