Well, here we go again! By again I mean I met someone earlier this week on another site, and we went on our first date yesterday. We met down in Columbus at the mall in Polaris.
With the type of guy that I am, and with it being Sweetest Day, I thought getting her a single rose would be a nice gesture (pink because I know it's like her favorite color). I bought it before I left the town where I live. We met in the food court, and where I parked I had to walk thru most of the mall to get to it. I couldn't get over all the oooss and awwws I heard from all kinds of women while I walked to the food court with the rose in hand ( I bet some husbands and BFs got into trouble because they forgot and their women remembered seeing me with rose, LOL )
Of course when we met I gave her the rose, and her look on her face was all the thanks I needed. We sat and talked for a while, then we went to a local restaurant and had dinner. After dinner we went back into the mall and walked around and talked. Then we went to the movie theater and watched "Life as we Know it". Some would call it a chick flick (some of my friends did anyways when I told them that was what we were going to see), but we really enjoyed it, it was a good movie. we talked for a while afterwards, she gave me a hug, and we both went home (our own, don't get any ideas, this was a first date afterall ).
I text her after I figured she got home to make sure she made it home safe. We text for a few hours just talking about stuff. We both agreed we had a good time and would like to see each other some more. We hit it off really well, and have alot of things in common, alot of the same things we want in life (family, marriage, kids, ect...), alot of the same likes and dislikes. It was really a great night. I would go so far as to say it was the best first date I have ever had
We've been texting all day off and on today too. We both want to pursue things and see where it'll go, going with the flow and going slowly at our own pace, not rushing right in. She wasn't sure if I was wanting her to give me a hug or not. I assured her I was very suprised and happy she did, I didn't expect it or anything on the first date. But I guess that's because I'm "old school" or "old fashioned" or whatever you call it.
I never figured I would meet someone so soon, or at least meet someone so soon that I "clicked" with so well. It's been 2 weeks since my long-term relationship with my ex was "officially" over. I knew it was over 2 months before when she suddenly acted differently and moved out. Plus all the things I found out she did and lied to me about too. But enough of that, just a little background info for my story. I didn't do anything wrong in that relationship, so there was no need to morn over, life goes on and there's plenty of good women out there, and I think and hope I have found one.
Life is odd, and things happen so unexpected. But meeting her was a very good unexpected. I hope this is a sign of good things to come

I just went through a similar experience this week but I luckily never met the guy in person who was lying his butt off..Be careful posting this on here, I posted about my experience and got a message accusing me of "gossiping" .. I dont see how posting about a experience on here is gossiping when you "experienced it" CS has a tab to click for posting dating experiences or chat threads..You have my sympathies for meeting a loser and just look at it as at least you got out before getting caught in the trap.

Whoops..Sorry I read your thread wrong..It sounds like you had better luck than I had this week..I should have read your whole thread before posting.. whoops.. Good luck in your future dates with her.
I have also been thru that, and Looked so good, and went on a quite a while, then went quickly to reverse, so have hope, but dont put all your eggs into that one basket, till you've Known her a while...

Tho My Very Best Wishes For Sure!
Yeah, I understand that. I think we both do actually, hence our slow approach ahead. She said she's the type that likes to go slow and go with the flow, and so am I. So that being said, we'll just have to see how it goes.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read my thread. Since my ex and I split, I re-discovered who I am, that was not there for a long time. And now I know who I am once again, I am working to improve myself more. Not just for meeting someone, but for myself. I will never change who I am for anyone ever again. Sad thing is I didn't realize I had until after the break-up.
It seems I may have found something special. We have had many talks about the things we want and who we are, to find we want the same things and are so much alike. We are going slow with this, no sense in rushing. But she seems so amazed that I am the way I am, who I am is what she wants, and who she is is what I want.
