Close To Perfect Date #2

So Scott was suppose to have a date today  but said that the girl wanted to postpone the date to Tuesday due to not feeling well. He thinks she either got scared or had another date and that's the cover story. I froggered over to the Towne Centre (apparently Crofton/Gambrills is all about Old English spellings) for their Saturday night concert. I told Scott he could join if he wanted. It took him a bit to respond but he ended up meeting me over there in Panera. I just finished stuffing my face so I got to watch him as he ate. We then walked down to get some froyo at Yolavie which I've been thinking about all day. It was glorious and every bit as good as I had imagined all day! :) This also presented me with the opportunity to observe his utensil holding skills. I would have called it quits right there if he went Caveman style on me! Luckily, he holds his spoon correctly.

OH, while walking down to Yolavie he grabbed my hand (in a smooth, nonchalant way) and asked if that was ok. I said yes, but I was screaming NO on the inside. I just think holding hands is weird. I have no idea why. It's strange to me.... but I went with it and was keeping an open mind. When we left Yolavie, ok... I admit the whole time, well some of the time, while we were there I was wondering if he was going to want to hold hands on the way back and how I might be able to skirt around it.... yes, this bothers me this much that it interferes my thoughts while enjoying delicious froyo with a great guy! So we leave Yolavie and he puts his arm around my shoulders.... ok, I can get with that. Less strange than holding hands in my opinion, or as the cool kids say IMO.

So, since I walked over, I asked if he was going to drive me to my place so I don't have to frogger it back late at night. He agreed. When we got to his truck, he faced me and I asked if he was going to allow me to ride in the cab of the truck or if I had to ride in the bed. He said he might open the door but it would cost a kiss. I told him I could work with bribery! I will definitely need to work on his kissing technique but like anything within relationships, everything gets better with time.

While in his truck, and I would do this to ANYONE, I began pushing buttons and lifting things and straightening things out. I like exploring people's belongings. You gain a lot of information based on what a person's car guts look like. I didn't find anything alarming, or even fun. Just a typical guy's truck. He said it was "messy" because it had one coffee cup and a napkin on the floor.... He would DIE if he saw my car. I'm not even sure what's in there. It's like Christmas all over again when I open the trunk because I find something I forgot I had! I'm pretty sure I could live out of my car if needed too... and live well!

So he dropped me off and being my mother's child, I tripped going up the steps and busted my knee.

Luckily, I got up like a pro, Pee Wee Herman style (Like I meant to do that) and looked around. He was already on the other side of the lot so I was in the clear. I texted him when I got in and told him to text when he got home. Like a soldier, he followed directions and texted "I'm home".  I then had a bit of wonderment and thought "uh-oh, perhaps pushing buttons and lifting things in his truck was a no-no." So I asked if he was still interested and he replied with a "yes, very".  Phew....

Side note: He has the most amazing blue eyes I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to what may come! :)
