So I made plans with Mr. Beans and Brew (to be further referred to as B&B) tonight. I usually don't date on Friday nights because I'm exhausted from the work week, but I also didn't want to give up my prized "Saturday night" on someone I still wasn't sure about ;)
After a week of texts and multiple phone calls, I had a pretty good idea I was getting a homemade dinner. I knew this because he kept asking me what my favorite foods and desserts are. So much for the element of surprise. Actually, I was quite thankful. I am not a seafood lover and the last thing I needed was a slab of raw tuna on a plate that I would have to gag down.
I pulled up to his house which is in a quaint country-like setting/neighborhood. The house was beautiful and the inside was immaculate. I immediately told B&B that he would not be coming over to my house based solely on the cleanliness of his house. He laughed and tried to say that his house was so sterile because he is the only one that lives there. Hugs and salutations followed and I was quickly welcomed with a cold whiskey and diet pepsi. Yes, I could get used to being pampered like this.
Dinner was phenomenal and I can honestly say it was better than any restaurant I have been to lately (and I'm not just talking about Sizzler!). I was served a thick cut Rib-eye that had been marinading in home made seasonings, baked potato drizzled in olive oil and rolled in rock salts, baby asparagus and fresh berries "drunk" in a raspberry liquor over pound cake. Absolutely incredible. After a great meal and a couple of whiskey's I could tell this guy is very much into me. This is what I want right? A man that dotes on me, feeds me, is financially stable, doesn't live with mom? My anxiety level started to go up as I started thinking about a future with this particular person. I told myself to stop sabotaging things, enjoy the moment and just go with the flow. I ended the night with a signature kiss and promises of staying in touch. This is a pivotal moment for me, something I have done over and over again. In the back of my mind I know that the answer truly lies in if either one of us "stays in touch."
Lesson learned - Live in the moment, anything can change and there is no need to worry about marriage on the second date ;)
Sloppy Kisses,
Meriska
