So I mentioned how I had messaged a few people on Plenty of Fish, well, I met one yesterday. And I did it the right way at a public place! What public place you ask, my favorite...the DOG PARK! LOL!!
We had been messaging back and forth online for a couple of days and I finally gave him my number. Mostly because he didn't seem like a sleaze ball looking for one thing. You can tell the ones that are will just message you about your pictures. He, on the other hand, has never messaged me about my pics! We talked mostly about where we were from, what we do, and the outdoors. He is an outdoor freak! Anyways, after I gave him my number we text messaged for a couple more days. Yesterday we were both off work and had been talking about how nice a day it was, he invited me to try bouldering or go for a hike. For those of you that don't know me too well I'm not that athletic! Plus I was taking cold medicine all day. I said I would go for the hike but I didn't want his first impression of me to be this sick mess breathing heavy with snot running down my face. He understood and said he could meet up with me after he went out at the dog park.
So he called me when he was done (I was just getting up from a nap) and I give him directions to my dog park. I rush to get ready, and decide to look kinda cute, at least better than my usual dog park attire. I got there before him, that way Pepper could do her business and I could pick it up without him watching me. I was there for a good ten minutes and he called me. He was parked at the other end of the dog park. So I walked that way and met him at the gate. He was cute, shorter than I thought, but cute. (Side Note: I'm getting a lot of attention from shorter guys lately!) Then he started talking about all the outdoor stuff he's passionate about and I felt attracted to him. He was funny and witty. I hope I was too, I think I was, but I was feeling a little fuzzy from the medicine and the nap. Also I had to keep an eye on Pepper. I felt a spark, and I don't know if that's because he's different then the guys I've dated in the last 5 years or what! We had a great conversation, he mostly talked which was alright since I was fuzzy, but he did ask me questions. He also was aware of things going on around us, like laughing at this tiny dog humping a big dog. As we were talking the sun was setting and it was one of those amazing desert sunsets. He kept pointing out how rad it was. :) After the sun set I was getting cold and we walked out. We said bye and he gave me a nice hug. About an hour later he texted me that he had fun and the sunset was off the hook! (Plus he's been texting me throughout the day today!)
Single Girl Dealbreakers:
Is he too cool for me? He's done a lot of cool recreational things, that I think are cool, but I'm just not that coordinated to do myself!
He is super active and outdoorsy and I might be way out of shape to keep up!
He's kind of a skater boy, without the earrings, but is he looking more for a skater chick?
Single Girl DealMAKERS:
He was easy to talk to
Makes me laugh
Until the next poop pick-up--TP
