The Meeting

Well, I met him.  Boy, did he live up to my expectations and then some!  Friendly, hot, polite, smart, hot, funny, hot...did I say hot?  I already thought he was super cute based on his pictures.  But someone went and got himself a haircut and a shave and WOW, what an improvement!  Eye candy, I tell ya!

We exchanged phone numbers, so now I'm playing the waiting game and hoping beyond hope that he calls.  It's only been one day, and of this evening, I'm already starting to doubt that he will.  Or he'll call/email/text with bad news.  So stupid, I know, but I'm so afraid that my weight (I thought I looked pretty dang good despite my current extra baggage!) may cause him to be uninterested.  I would never do this, but I wish I could show him a photograph of my former svelte self and say this is what I normally look like and will look like again SOON!  I did get the impression when I walked in the coffee shop (he got there first) and while we were ordering that he was impressed with what he saw.  I could be totally wrong, but I really felt like I got that vibe.  Here's hoping!!!

UPDATE:  (It's now the twelfth.)  He just called!!!  He wants to meet again for coffee in about a week.  EEEEK!!!  Of course I am so excited, but my paranoia has already kicked into high gear.  If a guy were a true gentleman, which I believe he might be, wouldn't going for coffee be the perfect opportunity to say "thanks, but no thanks"? 

Ugh, a whole week of anxiety.  I wonder how many pounds I will lose this time?  ;cp

And I realize I probably sound like a lovesick teenager.  Rest assured that I am not.  I do not want to rush into anything, but I really like this guy and so want the chance to get to know him better and vice versa. 

I'll either update this later or most likely start a new post. 

KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR ME, PLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSE!!!!

UPDATE PART DEUX:  (It's now the 19th.)  So since he called a week ago, he's text me once, and we chatted online once - the chat I intiated.  But nothing has been scheduled yet for a second meeting.  Boo!  I know he has a very busy schedule, but I'm getting a little impatient.  Not really impatient with him, per se.  I just really want to know if he felt any sort of connection.

My sister says I should text him.  My friend says I should wait and let him contact me.  I'm having lunch with another friend tomorrow, who has yet to be filled in on all of this, so maybe her opinion will help me decide whether to call/text him or not.  And, I might even ask my brother what he thinks. 

Oy!

By the way, I'm down 13 pounds since November 3rd!  Hooray!
