UPDATE!: The Current Situation Part 1

IT'S BEEN TOO LONG

Wow, going on three months now without posting anything new. Fore shame. :-( But now it's 3:33 AM and I'm supposed to be writing a radio commercial for class, but I think I'll do this instead and hate myself in the morn. Well, later this morning. I guess it's good that I took a break because I have so much to talk about now.

LE BOYFRIEND

So I've been seeing this guy. The guy I talked about in the last post. If I had to describe the relationship so far I guess I would have to say it's like "Sleepless in Seattle." But not. He's this really cute guy. He's mixed (black and white) a little rough around the edges. Masculine but sensitive, and he's a bit of a geek. He likes video games and stuff. We clicked instantly. And the first date. . . was magical (excuse the cliche). I know I told you a bit about the first date in my last blog, but here's a few more details.

THE FIRST DATE

We met online, Craigslist of all places (don't judge me :-o) and we texted and talked on the phone for a few days. Then met in an OPEN PUBLIC PLACE. (I'm desperate, not stupid.) We walked around the mall. I was so smooth. I bought two pairs of jeans that were on sale ($55 for them both, a bargain!). They came with a pair of cool headphones for free so I asked him, "Which do you think I should get." He picked some out and when we got outside I presented them to him as a gift. He was taken aback and blushed a little bit. It was a really nice moment.  After that we had dinner. Then saw a movie.

In exchange for the headphones, he bought me dinner and paid for my movie ticket. It was so cute how he stumbled around pulling crumbled up dollars from his pocket. I could tell he didn't have a lot of money, but he wanted to pay for me. So I let him.

After the movie, there wasn't much left to do. The mall was closed and we weren't hungry. So we just rode around the city in my car. We rode and talked for probably at least an hour.  We would ride over the hills really fast, pretending it was a roller coaster. How wonderfully lame were we. But I loved every second. At the red traffic lights we would stop and feel the tension in the air. I wanted to hold his hand. To touch him. But I didn't want to seem too forward. And let it be known, this was my first real date with a guy.

Eventually, he felt guilty for spending my time and gas, and told me to take him back to his car. It was in the parking lot, now empty, save one or two cars, including his. I pulled up next to his beat up little Buick.
"Well, I guess this is it." he said
"Yeah, I had fun tonight."
"Me, too."
As he reached for the door handle I called to him.
"So can I have a hug?"
"Can I have a kiss?" he replied.
"I've been wanting to all night."
He leaned over and kissed me. I kissed back. He moved away, then came back for another. Then another.
Then he got out the car.
Then he came back into the car again.
"Just one more," he pleaded.
With delight, I was much obliged. This kiss was a bit longer and sensual.
When it ended he kinda hovered in the space between the door and the inside of me car.
"Let me walk you to your car," I said.
We both got out. I don't remember what time it was but it had to have been sometime after midnight. We stood there in the foggy parking lot.
My hands rested on his shoulders ( he was a little taller than me) and we embraced one another. In front of God, the parking lot security guard, and the random car that passed by, we kissed. That was the first time I kissed another man outside of a bedroom or an enclosed space shielded from society's eye. I wasn't ashamed of the fact that I liked him. In fact, I was proud. In fact, I was more than happy to share that moment with the entire world, or at least the world of a JC Penny parking lot at 1:00 in the morning. Because that one moment felt so right, no one could have possibly taken it away from me.

THE END OF THE DATE


After hugging and kissing for about 5 to 10 minutes we parted ways. We kept it classy. We both wanted each other. We felt each other's desire. We also felt the desire in our pants poke each other as we hugged. LOL But I digress. We left it at that and went our separate ways. He had a 30 minute drive waiting for him and I had an hour long drive ahead of me. So yeah, it was a good first date.
