Love in its many forms

I fell in love tonight. Let me describe the evening shall I? Let's start with what I wore, this is how I described it to Bhetti when she asked.

So I'm wearing glasses. Crap - ruined my last contact - by dropping it. That said been getting a ton of compliments on my glasses wearing looks lately - they are stylish (DKNY) thankfully. I'm wearing my hair softly curled but a rocker chick type bang - nice contrast.

I have the coolest Calvin Klien t-shirt. Black with bands of grey t-fabric which go horizontally over the front. I'll wear jeans as this is a walking date. I have a really nice faded pair of blue jeans which are quite low rise. I'm going to tuck them into brown leather boots which are suitable for walking. I'll wear a long sweater/cardigan over top - open to reveal the flat tummy and low slung jeans. No I'm NOT thinking about this TOO much!!! Not at all. ;)

I'll wear a moderate amount of make-up - a little darker on the eyes than normal because of the glasses. I'll appear casual yet stylish. Or at least that's the damn hope.

I'll report back after the date has finished. Cross every finger and toe.


What did he wear? Jeans, jean shirt and a t-shirt underneath the jean shirt. Shoes were running shoes. He had the same sexy voice he had on the phone. Nice. He liked what he saw when he looked at me. We were on a walking date and he kept looking over at me to stare at my face - a good sign. He seemed pleased. I was burbling excitedly, which I think he found amusing in a good way. We started our date late and it was getting dark so he suggested taking me for a drink. I said yes. He drove me around our small city in his old car, a 73 something or other (my bad) and then we went to one of our nicer lounges. He was very easy to talk to. Intelligent and seems very stable. Not as attractive as his picture, but not unattractive. Heck I wore glasses so I wasn't my very best self either.

I wanted to feel it. Yet...

I did not feel the famous tingle.

Crap.

I am not attracted to him. I can not see myself being stripped by this man. I hate writing this and not because I am disappointed myself but because I'm disappointing other men who've been on dates like this and know how it feels. He liked me, in fact I agreed to go out again this weekend and I plan to. How fair is it to only give it one date? Or is this a bad thing agreeing to the second? Leading him on? Is there a chance he'll win me over? Could he have been nervous? He didn't seem it, but perhaps maybe?

So I said I fell in love tonight. And I did. With a loft apartment. I ran late for our date because I've decided to sell my home and buy something more me. Brand new - two floors, two balconies - all open floor to ceiling. It's not finished yet so I can pick my cabinetry and flooring. The piece de la resistance is it faces our gorgeous river valley.

This apt. is not the one I'm buying. Mine has two floors which are open with the top floor being an l-shaped loft and floor to ceiling windows - but this gives you a small idea of the peek out my window. I may not have man love but I have house love and that my friends will have to suffice. Plus my en suite has jets in the tub what more could a woman really need.
