I have now been on 4 "coffee" dates and met a very nice man in the process. Not that they weren't all nice men - just not a connection of two hearts.
I met "T" at a convenient coffee spot and we sat and chatted for about an hour. When "T" offered to go book shopping with me after we had our tea I was impressed, okay so perhaps I should have higher standards to be impressed but I don't and I don't care either! It is really hard to explain because I don't believe that chemistry is immediate but at the same time there was a nice strangeness that is difficult to explain. While we were sitting having coffee I wanted to take his hand and hold it - remember I have just met this fellow and I am not that brazen. Besides how forward is that? When we went book shopping I couldn't help but take a couple of deep breaths as he stood beside me!

Update:
Plenty of Fish (online dating site) was very helpful in my meeting with "T" and we have now been seeing each other for 5 weeks. He is a wonderful companion, we have shared long walks, conversations, meals and although I am still nervous when I am around him I look forward to our next meeting. I love this giddy school girl feeling and don't want it to end!

I had my first personal meeting
Now how exciting is that? Well considering it is the first date of any kind with the opposite sex for quite awhile it was pretty darn exciting! We started by sending emails back and forth and a couple hours later we were in a local coffee shop having coffee/tea, there wasn't much time to get nervous, change our minds or back out which worked out well for me. I could easily have put that first meeting on hold indefinitely and that is not my goal!
Turns out G is a very nice man, very tall which is different for me but his height gave me the warm fuzzies. He greeted me with a friendly hug which was nice and then he quickly proceeded to talk up a storm. It made it very easy for me to just listen and relax a little. He had an easy laugh and many stories that made me laugh as well.
A couple of times he would ask a question and before I got to answer or finish my answer he would interrupt with another anecdote or onto another story. I do believe that is how he was dealing with his nervousness and didn't mind the not having to talk. I do realize that it is hard to get to know someone if they are not talking but there is nothing wrong with attentively listening to someone either!
I was surprised at how easy it was for me to blush but I think that was just more of that nervousness. I am glad that the first coffee date was not as scary and believe that I could look forward to the next one with a little more confidence.
Happy Hunting everyone and remember Have Fun out there and be safe!
