a great nite

(i almost didn't write this blog because it's blog #199 and i know i won't want to blog again until i have something special for blog #200, but i knew some of you would like an update, so i'm writing.)

i went out with the guy again (why am i so afraid to name them in my posts? i guess i want to protect their privacy).  anyway, we talked on friday and decided to go bowling and to dinner at carrabba's tonite.  i was really excited about it.  we texted back and forth a lot on saturday evening.  mostly shit talking about who was gonna win at bowling, but he also said some really sweet things.  he seems really into me, which is awesome.  i just wonder what he'll think when he gets to know all of me.  i'm so complicated with all these layers and all this emotional baggage.  don't worry, i'm not going to bring to light any of these skeletons tomorrow or even next week, but eventually things will come out.  and since i tend to worry about everything, this worries me.

anyway, back to the date...

he totally kicked my ass at bowling.  i was off my game tonite.  maybe it was the sunburn.  maybe it was the fact i was nervous.  who knows?  i just know i hate to lose.  but it was still fun.  we talked and laughed a lot.  then we went to dinner, which was some what romantic (wasn't totally romantic because we were in the back of the restaurant, next to a family of four who was very loud).  we drank wine, enjoyed good food, shared a chocolate (heavenly) dessert.  it was a nice nite and i didn't want it to end.  when he took me back to my car at the bowling alley he gave me a hug and a little kiss (nothing major, which is good--i'm taking this one slow).

he is so sweet.  i worry because he doesn't open up very much, but maybe he needs to really know someone before he tells them things.  i couldn't get him to tell me what month is birthday is, but i did find out he majored in physics at LSU (he's from Louisiana).  there is so much more i want to know about him, but i don't know how to ask. hopefully with time, things will get easier for both of us.  right now we are still nervous and in the early stages of getting to know each other.

i do know one thing:  i wanna see him again, the sooner the better... :)
