So our date isn't until today, but I already have an update.

We were texting all day yesterday, so from the time he called to ask me out on Thursday at 8:30pm, we were talking expect when we slept.

We were both going to the 5:30 meeting, so we knew we'd see each other there before our date today. I met with my sponsor and then went to the meeting and he wasn't there yet. He works until 5. I was so nervous to see him! So we're texting right up until 5:30. He got there just in time for the meeting to start. We smiled at each other from across the room. After the meeting he came up to me and we talked out in front of the meeting room for a few minutes and then he walked me to my car. I had to pick up my friend for the usual Friday meeting at 7:30. He told me that he purposly showed up right at 5:30 so I wouldn't be nervous!!! It was true, for some reason it was easier to see him after the meeting than it would have been to see him before, I don't know why. I had to leave and we hugged.

We texted for the next about 2 hours; I went to my meeting and then a group of us always go to the diner afterwards. I invited him to join us but he wanted to give me time with friends, so we just texted. Then I told him that a group of goes to the college campus after the diner to walk and chat. He said he wanted to join us there.

So we all met up at the college campus and it was just him and me and my friend and the guy she likes. The 4 of us ended up at the usual spot and talked to our respective love interests. It was great, we just talked and talked. Sitting closely but not really touching most of the night. Then the other couple left and he started rubbing my back. We decided that it had become our first date. We left shortly thereafter and on the walk back to the cars, he grabbed my hand. As we hugged goonight, he kissed me......we probably kissed for about 5 minutes. It was that perfect kind of kiss....tender with hidden passion yet to be unleashed. We made ourselves separate because it was about 2:30am.....and our scheduled date is at noon today.

We texted a little bit before finally going to sleep. He's picking me up in a little over 2 hours. We're having italian for lunch, and he says there's a suprise. I wish I could share all of the texts....he's definetely a romantic. I said something about it not taking him as long to get ready and he said I'd be beautiful no matter how long it takes me. He said I have a beautiful smile. But the best one, that I had to share with my friend at the diner said, "I think its 'you had me at hello'" *swoon!*

So the first date was going to be today at noon, but now its the second one.
