I know I've been going on and on about dating and how its so painful and makes me so insecure. Ha! But, I do want to say that nothing beats those butterflies when you know you're about to go and meet him. Or the smile that explodes all over your face when you get a text from him. Or how content you feel after having spent the day with him. And hugs. And kisses. And plans. And calls. All the good stuff.
So, I've decided I'm done being a Debbie-Dating-Downer...and will look on the bright side of it all.
With that being said, apparently I missed a step...my apologies to the readers who made quite the uproar (ha!)...and didn't tell you all the details about GQ...
I actually did mention GQ (his intials) months ago in a post about the guys I've been randomly meeting. He's the one who reminds me of my 4th grade teacher. We picked up correspondence shortly after my posting and have since met up and have been having, at least by my accounts, a really, really great time getting to know each other. He's studying Eastern medicine and speaks frequently about acupuncture (ouch!), wanting to find my pressure points (pervert!), Chinese herbs (yuck!), and school...his life is all about school. But, I like that. He's committed. And he's exposing me to things I'd never really ever thought about before. I like that he challenges me. And he smiles...a lot. Which makes me smile. And he's one of those freaks-of-nature in that he's KIND and CONSIDERATE...and MALE! ha! And his life is fascinating. And he tries to follow football so that he can make conversation with me (even though his questions during a game drive me crazy! :) )
I know, I know...I sound like such a girl...smitten...
Who knows? It's all still very new. But he makes me feel safe, and comfortable, and as odd as it sounds...strong...he makes me feel strong...I feel like I can be myself without apology...bonus points for him!
I'll keep you all posted...
Us being silly...I picked the fuzzy one since I didn't get his approval to post a picture of him. ha!
