Blind date success

Ah, I have been so busy, all over the place. I swear my house has become simply a dirty hotel room where I sleep, and don't have maids to come clean up after me. Between work, kickball, softball, happy hours, weddings, going out of town, other social activities, I just haven't had the time to take care of myself. But I am finding a few minutes right now to blog, but I'm warning, it may be a little ADD and all over the place.

So, last Saturday I met up with Engineer. He was so adorably dorky and cute I couldn't stand it. Really, he's totally a cute dork. The kind I like the best! You know, the type that you always had a secret crush on back in high school and college. I really liked him, he was funny, cute, smart, and nice, and we got along swimmingly.

Of course prior to meeting him, I was so nervous about would he like me, would he think I was attractive, or too fat, or what. But as soon as I saw him and saw how nervous he was too, I was instantly put at ease because he was clearly more nervous than me! We had the best conversation, never an awkward silence, and both of us really hit it off. I'm usually a good reader of people, and I could tell he was digging me. We met at the winery around 12:30, and our tour ended about 2. He suggested we get something to eat at the nearby town, which we did, and we walked around the street, looking at stuff. The town is a historic town, so there was lots to see, do, and talk about. Really though, we certainly did not have problems talking each others ears off. Around 4:30, I guess it was time to go. I know we both could have talked for hours more, but had things to do that evening. At the end, it was kind of awkward, both of us being like "urm, yea, so, uh, I had a really nice time." But I gave him a hug and that was it.

Sunday, I sent him an email saying I had a great time, and suggesting that we meet up again on Friday. He emailed back saying he thought that was a great idea, so I guess we are on for next Friday. I do think it's a little weird that we're still emailing, but I'm going to give him a call this week (between kickball, softball and country concert, not sure when I'll fit it in, unless it's late when I'm drunk, probably not a good idea) to make plans. I'm actually really excited, and excited to see him again without the first date jitters. And, it's even worse than first date jitters, because it was blind eH first date jitters, and especially for me, since it was my first eH date, I know I was kind of a spastic, airheaded fool. So, it's good that he liked that, because I can only get better as I get more confident. So, all in all, it was a huge success, and I am very pleased with it. I can't wait until Friday. Maybe you'll see me in the eH commercials soon! Haha, or maybe not. It's way too early to tell, plus I still fear I put all my eggs in Engineer's basket, so we'll see what happens!
