Just wanted to update you all. We are still in contact while on my trip. He is so sweet. It's weird not talking to him regularly (I'm with friends so I can't call him in front of them yet)..I told him I missed him and he said he missed me too. <p>Today I had my upper lip waxed for the very first time. It was something I knew I needed to do but was putting off. It looks great and has made me more confident for meeting him!! I can't wait. I believe this guy is for real and I hope things aren't too awkward this Saturday!! All I've been thinking about his him!!!!!!

It went well!! He was a total gentleman. He paid for everything! Lunch, movie, plus he got me bottled water right before the movie. He has the most beautiful blue eyes. When we first met, he kept staring at me! We had the whole eye contact thing going on! We had a good lunch, then walked around the mall and then headed to the movie. I was a little worried as we were running out of stuff to say. He is the type that is ok with silence, whereas I am not! But I think it went ok for a first date. I definitely felt comfortable with him and wouldn't mind meeting with him again! Not sure if we are going to be friends or more than that, but we'll see. Is that normal after a first date? I'm just not sure!!

Of course it's normal. I'd be more worried about it if you said that it was a sure thing. Just take it slow, one day at a time.<p>It's a little weird/scary/heady/etc meeting them in person for the first time. I remember that. Afraid that what we had online would not translate in to "in person.<p>Sounds like things are moving along just fine.

Geez Shannon, <p>I feel like you are my daughter and sharing your 1st date gitters with me!!! LOL!! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>I am glad you had a nice time. <p>Now since I am in the MOM mode, remember he is human so there will be pieces of his personality that may not agree with you. Make sure your sense of reason is not lost and you don't gloss over serious issues. <p>Other than that, let us know how it goes and enjoy. By the way what movie did you 2 see?!?!? <p>Hey just curious. We went to see Ice Age yesterday but then again, I'm a mom and had 3 boys in tow. Not a real couple's movie but it was fun. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>L.

There are definitely some things I see in his personality already. In fact, we've had 2 spats on the phone. Mainly because he is a planner and he knows what he wants. I'm more of a spontaneous, let's see what happens. I actually told him he was too pushy last night. I felt like he was quizzing me to see if I was marriage material or something. He denied it. But I do enjoy his company. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>I feel like he already knows what he wants and I am not sure yet...I am not sure if I want him more than a friend.<p>We saw Showtime.

OK, Shannon as your other mom, (Orchid and I share that position I think.) I suggest that you read the book "Getting Through to the man you love", on www.divorcebusting.com. Yes, I know that you fond of him, and do not love him, at least not at this time. But the book is wonderful in teaching women how to talk to men.<p>Even if this does not work out, it's a great training ground. lol
