We ended up meeting at the sushi place right near my house which is the best sushi in town and actually a really nice restaurant. It ended up being really good. He's kind of dorky--skinny, glasses, but I definitely find him cute. He's at least as tall as I am, brown hair, almost a little red, kind of pale skin like I have. Goatee/mustache/beard just around the jawline cut neatly. He wore khakis and a collared shirt and he was friendly and funny and we had a good time. He of course paid for dinner. We talked the whole time and it seems like we have alot in common. He kind of went through the wild stage like I did when I was younger, but now is responsible but still likes to do fun things, etc. Most of his friends have moved out of town and most of them are married now. He said he wants to get married someday. He's not sure if he wants kids. He's working at a job because he can't make as much working with the degree he has (like me!). He really likes animals like I do. He's extremely open to the point that he even tells things that make him look bad. He said he loved my hair and wanted to touch it but he was controlling himself. lol He said that he told his coworkers he was going on a date tonight and they told him good, he needed to have a girlfriend..lol. He goes target shooting, rafting down the river, watches movies, drinks, but not not all that often, he's close to his family and has a large family like me. He liked my car alot and said next time we should go in my car because it's so cool, which I'm all for...He mentioned some sexual type stuff in passing conversation, but was not sexual towards me, I think he just wanted to keep himself out of the "friends zone". He's very talkative and considerate unlike a lot of guys. He hasn't been dating since his last girlfriend 2 years ago. His relationships usually last four years. He doesn't come out and say it, but it was clear from the things he said that he wants a serious girlfriend. Mentioned possibly doing something on sunday, though we did not set plans yet. I gave him a hug when I was ready to leave. He didn't want me to leave, and kept talking to me when I was getting in my car. He had a big smile on his face. I'm pretty sure he likes me, though I'm not 100% sure, and I definitely like him enough to go on another date with him. Overall, he's smart, funny, considerate, and we have similar values and we are about the same age.

So far, so good!:thumbup:

Yay good for you! I'm three weeks away from banding, one from my pre-op diet, and I just read all your entries... You are doing SO well! So excited bout this date for you!

Whoot! Sounds like possibilities are there! Glad you liked him...I know he liked you! -BG

I am glad your date went well. As a guy I will tell you he does sound interested in you. Well also as I guy, I just have to ask, so what kind of car is it that you have? Sorry it is the testosterone in me asking.

Angie--Good luck to you! Let me know how it goes, I'm sure you'll do great!

BG-Thanks! I'm hoping he asks me out again!

BIker--Thanks! I really appreciate the male perspective! I have a Lexus GS430. It's the smaller sportier car but they put the big 4.3 V8 engine in it, so it's fast! Not green or fuel efficient, but it's fun to drive and has plush black leather interior, sun roof, etc.
