Okay I can't believe I'm doing what I said I would never do again. Driving 45 minutes to date a woman. However the Planner is good with it and is coming down half the time so I really don't have a problem with it.
We had a great time last night. I got to meet her cat KC and as most animals and kids do they take to me. Planner was surprised that he just planted himself in front of me to be scratched. Although she found out later when I played with her hair.
We headed out to play miniature golf. It was a lot of fun. Since I got the pull back last time I wasn't quite sure what was okay this time. So I took it slow and easy, but I found our groove as time went on. The best description of the night was when we sat outside after the game. The Planner asked was it Sunday since it felt like Friday. I told her what day it was, but I wished it was Friday. Then I realized how long it has been since I said that. I've worked for so long on weekends, then nothing to do on weekend so I looked forward for Monday and back to work. To really want more time off was a surprised that I forgot how good it felt. We played some games inside and I won her a toe ring and 2 tootsie rolls.
What's really weird is to meet a woman who eats like me, just constantly. Eating to keep the hunger away. So we stopped at Moe's grill for some food then back to her house to relax.
In the beginning the Planner found me opening her door for her a novel thing, but as the night went on she asked if I could stop since she felt it bother her independence. It was no problem for me. She was surprised how little things bothered me. As usual I'm asked if things do bother me which they do. I informed her when it comes up I would say something. The Planner hasn't dated in years so getting her relationship legs back again is going to take a while.
We hung at her place talking till the wee hours of the morning. Both of us never wanted it to end since it was nice and relaxing. She actually massaged my hand. Someone did something for me? WTF? It's been so long that I don't think I have any recorded memory of it happening.
She had a lot of questions about my past since I will say somethings in passing, but I try not to dwell on it unless I'm asked. Like most people they can't form a true picture without more information. Everyone can't see how I got from point A to Z and be the person I am from what I came from.
I did throw her a few curve balls I guess. While she was massaging my hand she asked if I was ticklish and said yes. I then asked her and she said sort of, but she didn't like being surprised and poked from behind. So I told her that was good to know so I wouldn't do it. You could see the wheels turning in her head. I asked her about it and she said she expected me to say it was good to know so I could do it. I was like why would I do that to a person I liked.
So about 1 in the morning we finally separated much to our own sorrow, but knew we would feel it today. Tuesday she'll be in the area and will stop by the office and we'll grab lunch. Then Thursday she'll stop by my place after her meeting since she'll be down here.
