Today’s Date – well, sort of….
Well, I had my first encounter with a member of JDate. I was supposed to meet a gentleman on Saturday, but before he got there, I had to leave thanks to one of my wonderful clients. Okay – not going into that right now…
So I guess I had my first “Official” date with another member of JDate. He was actually normal! What a relief! A gentleman, who shares a lot of my interests, including computers, old movies, wine, food and books! He has a PhD in computer theory. Talk about a glutton for punishment! LOL. That’s fine with me – it was nice talking shop talk with someone who actually understands the stuff I’m trying to do with my computers. Usually I get that glassy-deer-in-the-headlights look when I start talking about computers, but not him. It was really great.
We met at one of the local malls, and then he followed my car to the spot where we would take off on part of the Pinellas Trail. So we started talking, and kept going and going and before I knew it, it was a good 2.5 hours later! His name is Steve, and he’s originally from New York. You can definitely hear the accent, but it’s nice! I like it. He was so easy to talk with, laid-back, and best of all, he was expecting the exact same stuff I was. To make a new friend first, and then see what happens, if anything. That was a relief as well. I’m not exactly used to the whole “dating” concept, so……
Just a nice leisurely ride on our bikes, and I got to show him the true Pinellas county, which most people don’t usually get to see…. It helps being a native….
He’s definitely one I’d like to see again. Even if nothing happens between us, I think I’ve officially made a new friend!
