It's a red-letter day. (I know, I know- not funny, but irresistable). I didn't want to say anything before it happened (so as not to jinx it), but I actually met someone with the online dating thing that I actually wanted to meet in person. This, however, only occured after extensive instant message conversations, and a brief phone conversation (see S.S.? I am being careful). I was still nervous about meeting in person, because there's always the fear of something going wrong. Like, "What if he thinks I'm ugly in person?" Or, "What if we have nothing to talk about?" While I'm not sure about the first one, I can say the second item does not appear to be a problem. We talked and laughed for most of the day (except for during the movie). This is unusual for me, since I don't usually get terribly talkative with a person until I'm really comfortable with them. I had a great time (though Rusty wasn't too happy when I finally got home).
I think what worried me the most was just that I would be different than he expected. I know that I can be quite a character, and hard to predict. And I can be a bit scattered in my conversation topics, jumping around quite nimbly. There's also the fact that my last few dates (the ones before online dating, the ones with my ex) always started out with arguing about whether or not someone was going to be in a good mood. It was nice not to have to worry about that.
Now I have to placate Rusty... Except he appears to be my best friend again, after having been outside and eaten dinner. So all is right with the world.
No picture today. Go look at pictures in the other posts (or on my web site) if you really need the visual stimulation, maybe next time I'll have a picture to put up.
