Jeez, I think I had been talking to this guy for like almost 3 weeks at this point, which is far too long before a date occurs. We barely talked though, but he would message me each day and check in really. We connected on Hinge. We actually had a date scheduled the first week we started talking, but then when he went to confirm he asked if I still wanted to meet because of the rain, and I was like, what rain..?
Yeah, rain and flash flooding, oh that rain! Yeah no. we rescheduled, but due to him being out of town for work, and then having his kids, we weren't able to meet for about 2 weeks. A Saturday night date, it's been a while.
Steve had texted me early that morning with a photo of his potato harvest, and then asking how my day was going. I think I had told him in our phone call that I was having dinner with a friend. Later in the day, he texted me to "have fun at dinner" and sent me a selfie. I don't know if he suspected it wasn't a friend, but please, do be jealous. Be possessive because I am unhinged and super into that shit.
I mean, he did tell me that he would be cleaning his guns... I think he mentioned it due to our Guenther House date, he disarmed when we got to my house and the sounds of the slide or whatever, I didn't know I was into that shit! When I was on the date he texted me mentioning it in a filthy way. Bro, like my Apple watch is going to tell on me, stooooop (keep going).
ANYWAY, about the date. This guy was pretty cool and not what I was expecting. Much more lively and funnier in person. I actually really enjoyed our conversation and rapport. A lot of his stories also involved his sister, and they seem really close, which I liked to hear as someone who is close with their own brother and not many other members of our family.
He told me about his work a bit more and that summer is his really busy time, as he is always going to conventions and traveling, but mostly just around Texas. The first week we talked on Hinge, he was in Florida for work, but mentioned that is rare. He has two sons and no ex drama, he told me they have been divorced for almost 8 years I believe.
We discussed the restaurant, as he lives by the other location and goes there fairly frequently. I like that, and that he ordered a very green plate! I cannot tell you how many guys I've dated that are like "I don't eat vegetables" like, what do you mean?
Before we finished our meal, he asked if I would like to see him again and I said yes. I really like his sense of humor and overall demeanor, he is very no nonsense and I appreciate that. Additionally, a perfect gentleman. He paid for our meal and walked me to my car. We just hugged and I thanked him for dinner and expressed my interest in seeing him again, and he told me a loose schedule for the next week but maybe we could see a movie the week after, I said that sounded good.
He texted me when he got home and asked if I got any rain on my drive, I told him just a few drops. What I like with this guy is there is no good night, start/stop time with texting, I know he is busy, I am busy, our texting drops off and either of us can pick it up whenever. He is the one to text me good morning though, or reach out first in the day, as I do not do that.
We texted for the next week, he was traveling to Austin then Houston, staying pretty busy, then had his kids for the weekend. We had been joking around via text and having a good conversation, but he never wrote back to my last message, so there goes that. To be honest, I didn't even notice at first that he never texted me back, and I really wish I was that detached from all the guys I date.
Overall it was a good time, he seemed like a genuinely nice guy, and I think if we had gone out more it would have been a slow burn for me, which is what I am looking for. Oh well.
