OK, so normally I don't like to blog about really personal relationship stuff when I'm not single, but I think this topic is pretty harmless. Diana and I have, without realizing it, settled into a cycle of Wednesday night dates, for a month straight. It started as a mid-week break for her because of her ridiculous teaching weeks at Da Bank, and before we knew it, it became a... routine.
Now I'm not suggesting that routine means boring. We've done something different each time. But we've also done nothing. I think that's an interesting point, where you can get together and actually just relax without the pressure of having to keep busy. There's a level of comfort and familiarity you need for something like that. We keep thinking that it has all come so fast, but when we look at the calendar, or when we first had contact on eHarmony, we've been in touch a very long time.
I'm a lucky guy, too, because this girl can cook! She has mad skills when it comes to her kitchen. She's also sensitive to my beef-free lifestyle, and manages to find ways to make things I'm not crazy about in a way that I can be fond of them. It's pretty awesome.
So yeah, I'm gushing a little, but she really makes the work week seem shorter. It's a very good routine.
I actually went on a second date with a girl this past Saturday and after the movie we came back to my place for a little nighttime pool action (who says I can't lure with my pool, Jeff? ;)). It was pretty neat, we just chilled and talked and got to know a lot about each other for about 2 hours.
She even pretended to enjoy watching me play Counter-Strike for a few minutes. :-O
You played Counter-Strike when you were entertaining a girl? Double-yew-tee-eff?
