So, I thought I was having a dinner date tonight but it turns out I was in for a lunch date. That was even better because I could have my date and go out with my girl at night! The best of both worlds.
I met Ryan at Houlihans. I had never been there before but looked up their menu prior to going so I knew what I was in for. Everything on the menu looks delicious. So when I got there, he was already sitting in his car. I was greeted with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. SWEET!
So we shared calamari and like a good guy, he ate the leggy ones so I could enjoy the rings. I told him he didn't have to exclusively eat the leggy pieces but I will not be eating any of those. He stuck to the leggy ones! So nice! I also had the salmon BLT which was so good at the brown rice with pineapple as my side. I will forever make pineapple be an ingredient in my rice. He made a joke (or at least I think it was a joke) about how perhaps he will call out of work so he can spend the whole day with me. I kinda laughed the comment off because although I thoroughly enjoy his company and was looking forward to today's date, I still enjoy my independence and wasn't prepared to share my whole day pal-ing around with someone. I'm sure if I was gung-ho about the idea of him taking off, he would have. I'm not sure how I feel about that but we can revisit this idea later if need be.
The bill came and we talked for a bit. I didn't even notice that he had whipped out money about 10 minutes later. Of course I offered to pay and he declined. Good thing he did because I would have definitely judged him if he made me pay! We decided to walk around the town center a bit and I scored a halloween decoration that I've been looking for at Yankee Candle!!! I was very excited. We then walked over to Starbucks so I could get my PSL fix. I of course paid for coffee because I'm nice like that. We chatted some more while enjoying our Starbucks treats and then walked back to our cars. 2 kisses goodbye later and we were both in our respective cars.
We are due to meet again Monday morning at Iron Rooster in Annapolis for breakfast. I've heard 3 glowing recommendations to eat at this place within the past week. I'm pretty excited. I'm also going to offer to pay for him on this date. If he declines, major brownie points will be earned but it's ok if he takes me up on the offer. He's also going to be my date for the Stevie Wonder concert I have tickets to. I was holding off inviting people incase whatever this is that's happening continues to happen. Today I figured I would ask and if it all goes to crap before then, I'm sure I can find a back up some how. Hopefully it won't come to that but the 3rd date is usually where it all ends. Let's hope that we can get past Monday's breakfast or perhaps there will be a surprise third date tomorrow night. He doesn't get off work until 10 or 1030 tomorrow night so it would be a late night happening. I may be in bed by then.... I'll keep you all informed as usual!
I'm diggin' this one! It feels different and he keeps making appearances in my dreams nightly.
