Having a Great Time!!

Last night was my fifth date with Shawn. He came over to my house and we watched The Dark Knight. Last week when he came over, I got Papa Murphy's pizza and he didn't like my choice so he wanted to pick the pizza this time. He told me he wanted to bring over his kind of pizza. I almost died laughing when he showed up with a couple of Tombstone frozen pizzas. He was so cute and proud of himself. I really didn't know how he felt about me after our date Saturday night because he was so quiet. I was starting to wonder if he was bored with me already. He finally opened up about some medical stuff he had going on that made him worried last weekend. His doctor called him back yesterday and everything will be fine so he was in a great mood. He was his usual funny self. I'm having a great time taking things slow and just getting to know him. It's been so different from the other rejects I've dated. He's a little shy but I can tell I'm wearing him down. No one is going "Freaky Fast " this time:)

New Guy

Christy from work decided about a month ago that I needed to meet her brother Shawn. We are the same age, both never been married and we don't have any kids. She's been telling me forever that he is so cute and really thought we would hit it off. Everyone else here has told me what a great guy he is so I told her to set it up. The weekend after Christmas I went to Decatur to meet Lisa, Tiffany and Julie for a couple drinks and we ended up at the same place as Christy and Shawn. It was nice that it wasn't planned so it didn't feel weird. We talked and hung out for a couple hours and exchanged phone numbers. Last week we talked on the phone several times and he asked me out. Every conversation has been very comfortable and he's really funny so I said yes. We agreed to do something Saturday night but couldn't decide what we wanted to do. He says he's not a planner and I like to have plans so we joked about it all week. He tried to get me to plan it but I told him it's his job. I had to laugh because he's a bread man....Paul was a bread man! Rachel thinks it's cute.

Saturday night I met him at a Mexican restaurant in Decatur. He told me when we got there he remembered me mentioning my love of chips and salsa. He actually paid attention which got him major bonus points!! We had a great time at dinner and stayed at the restaurant for about two hours. We had decided to go have a couple of drinks but it was too foggy when we got outside. Shawn is really adamant about not drinking and driving (and the fog really bothered him) so he asked if it was ok if we postponed the rest of our date and met up again on Sunday. I was kind of bummed but I have to respect his concern. He called me when I got home to make sure I was safe. Again, more bonus points!!

Last night we decided to go to a movie. We met before the movie and sat and talked. He has this really cute dimple when he smiles and it's really starting to grow on me! After our movie we sat in my car talking again for a lone time. It's weird to talk to a guy that actually pays attention to what I say and remembers things. He is so easy to talk to and I feel completely comfortable around him. We agreed that we are having a really great time and will definitely see each other again. He works really odd hours and has weird days off so we have to work around his schedule. He has Wednesday off so he wants to do something tomorrow night. Sounds good to me! After a really sweet kiss we parted ways. He called me again when I got home to make sure I made it and to tell me goodnight.

I drove all the way home last night with a smile on my face, and when I woke up this morning it was still there. We do have things in common but he really likes our differences. He makes comments all the time that opposites attract and seem to balance out a relationship. I'm taking my time getting to know him and enjoying every minute of it :)
