So…

by Sandy

A few weeks ago, while visiting my family back in the Midwest, I went on a date with a guy who blew me away. Unfortunately my lack of impeccable timing—i.e. going on a date with him the night before I left to come back to California—forced me to try to not think too much into it. Sure, I had fun.

But I couldn’t just forget about the 2500 mile span between us… could I?

That was almost two months ago. He’s had a bit of a tough road in those two months—his dad passed away. I couldn’t bring up the nerve to call him for fear of not knowing what to say. I sent a card to wish him my condolences. Didn’t hear anything… until about a week ago…and again last night. I admit, at first I thought he was confusing me with someone else in his phone…that is, until he said I should get on a plane and come back. Now, I really like this guy.

I know what you’re thinking… Sandy’s crazy. She’s been on one date with this guy and knows little more than the fact that he’s a high school history teacher, the youngest of four and he likes strawberry shakes. And that last one doesn’t count because honestly, who doesn’t like a strawberry shake?

Two months. And I’ve hardly “known� him more than a few hours. I’ve had hangovers that lasted longer than my getting to know him time. But I can’t stop thinking about him. That counts for something, right?

About Dating Outlook

What's not to like about dating? Plenty. The awkwardness, the drama and starting all over again (and again...) until we find that special someone. However, there are some pretty great things about dating and if nothing else, hopefully you meet some great people along the way. Stick around for some not so humble opinions, reflections and thoughts about the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous woes of dating.
