How was I feeling before and during the date? Was my mind wandering off elsewhere?
Initially I thought the date was going to be cancelled. Jason and I were chatting earlier in the week and we planned for Friday. I wanted to ask him during the day if we were still on for the evening, but all my co-workers/girlfriends were giving me the advice not to because it will seem like I was anticipating. Now, this is where I don't understand the "dating game?" Am I suppose to be real or play it off as if I don't care?
Jason eventually texted that he is down to have a late dinner with me even though he was busy all day driving around town and he got his seventh wind after taking a shower. I felt it was because he tried to postpone and I told him that I was busy next week and it was his only chance to see me.
I felt a little nervous before the date and was leery if I should meet him at the restaurant or have him pick me up. I went with my gut and allowed him to pick me up.
During the date I felt it was easy breezy and we had a good conversation and he was pretty impressive. I did not feel my mind was wandering off at all. I was very attentive to him and I listened to everything that he shared.
Was I being MYSELF throughout the whole date?
I felt that I was being myself. I was being real and honest. I even told him straight up that he was a little high strung. He was like an hyper energizer bunny. He took no offense to it at all. I felt that there was nothing to hide. I shared past dating experiences with him and I did not feel uncomfortable at all.
Was there a connection?
I felt that there was a connection. We had great conversations and I felt that there wasn't a dull moment or any awkward silences. We were out to have fun and I think we succeeded.
Did I learn something new about myself after the date?
I learned on this date that I start to take initiative and become assertive, taking control on what is going to happen next.
Did I feel a "Love Pang/Butterflies" when I initially saw him?
No.
Additional Comments?
Overall it was a great time and he proved himself as a true gentleman, chivalry was not dead. He even stepped out of the car to open my door when I approached his vehicle. He also did not try to make any moves on me.
He kept reiterating all night that dating/connections should not be "forced" if it happens it will happen and not to force situations. I really liked that. I felt in my last dating scenario, I may have forced it a little and that is why I am no longer seeing that person.
