I Can't Explain It All

I just read the last blog that I posted and I'm amazed that the "ask and it shall be given unto you" factor seems to be in play for me. I ran into a former male acquaintance of mine a few weeks ago (online) and we exchanged numbers. We spoke on the phone for one night and he asked me out on a date the very next day. We've had three dates since then and one of them resulted in his coming over to the house, cooking dinner (while I told him what ingredients to add) and simply watching random television with me. Tomorrow we're supposed to go out and see the movie "Avatar" and grab a bite to eat. I'm flabbergasted. But in a good way.

He's not the type of guy that I would normally go for and that was the case years ago, but he's a sweetheart and a gentleman. That accounts for so much in my book. Unfortunately, because I had the nerve to be shallow back in the day, I couldn't see him for what kind of man he really was. I'm happy to see the changes in myself that allow me to look past what I couldn't look past before. He's a cutie pie with the chubbiest cheeks ever! We've joked around that if we have children, they're going to have some huge cheeks. How cool is that - we joked about having children?

I'm hoping to take this slowly, but to do what I can to show him that I appreciate him. Good men are out there, but we women act like we've got so many options that we snub them. That's not my desire at all. He may or may not be "the one", but I plan to treat him like he could be. Because he deserves that.
