Ok so, this is weird. I get a text message tonight from a guy in my homegroup that says, "Hey do you have a few minutes to talk? I want to ask you something." I say, "Yep, just got home." He says, "Shall I call you?" I say, "You shall if you like."

Immediately I think hmmmm whats this about? But I instantly shrug it off thinking, he's just calling to ask a question about the homegroup or AA or something.

So he calls and he says, "Ok so bare with me, I haven't done this in 4 years. But I wanted to ask you if you'd like to go out sometime?" !!!!!!!!!!! My heart skipped....I said, "I'd love to." And he was like "Really? You just made this so much easier on me, I was so nervous, I was going to ask you at the meeting tonight." And I said, "Oh and I wasn't there!" And he said, "Yeah I noticed." Ok....I won't rehash the entire conversation here.

What I will say is that I've known him for going on 2 years and love what he has to say in meetings. He has like 9 years sober, and does social work. I've noticed myself catching his eye over the last few months, but made myself think nothing of it. And now here he is asking me out.

We've been text messaging since then, and he just asked me, "Do you have a dream first date?" Wow, what a good question. I told him I've never actually been picked up for a date. So I'd like to picked up and taken out to eat, and then a movie or pool or something. He said I'd kick his butt at pool so that wouldn't be any fair. He can pick me up and then its a suprise......WOW. Wow.......wow.........WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
