OceanGirl Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I am not going to get ahead of myself, but I just got home from my afternoon date with the artist. He is REALLY cute in person. So I was attracted to him right away. We had coffee and cake and he told me that I am stunning and that I look better than my pictures - I could kind of tell that he is telling the truth as he couldn't take his eyes off me. Sidenote: my hair and makeup just looked really good today, as luck would have it Conversation was natural too - he is Hungarian so we have similar upbringing. He kept interrupting the conversation to tell me "Wow you are so gorgeous". He asked if he could paint me, but then said "that's more like a fifth date activity" He seemed really interested to get to know me - he even asked me what my last name is and proceeded to add me to Facebook on the spot (that's the sort of thing I do with guys!) Anyway, we live 75kms apart and he asked if that bothered me. I replied that it didn't and he said that it doesn't bother him at all. He is happy to make the drive. At the end of the date, he asked me if I am free next Saturday and that he would love to spend more time with me. He suggested that we meet mid-afternoon and then go to the movies, follow that by dinner and then have a few drinks at the bar. I said yes!! As we said good-bye - he only kissed me me on the cheek and didn't really attempt to touch me or kiss me on the lips I kind of touched him a bit during conversation but he didn't return this. Anyhow, on my way home I decided to text him "I look forward to getting to know you better!" he responded right away "Me too :)" I had dates like this before where everything seemed to go full steam ahead only to fall apart soon after. So I am not going to get too excited...
northern_sky Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 That's great, OG!! I'm so thrilled for you.
Surrealist Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Great, but don't be put off by him NOT being raunchy - that is a sign of respect. Believe me, I'd be the same with any girl I really like as well.
USMCHokie Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Cool beans! I don't think your date was "full steam ahead" at all...it was a nice pace, and he even recommended a real plan for the second date...I think it's going just fine...
Allisha Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 OG, I know I seem to go on and on about you taking a break, but I'm glad the date went well. I think you're right, definitely just play it cool (but still not playing games), and take it slowly. Also, take Surrealist's advice on board!
USMCHokie Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Great, but don't be put off by him NOT being raunchy - that is a sign of respect. Believe me, I'd be the same with any girl I really like as well. I totally agree with this...and sometimes I wonder whether it's a bad thing if I'm not as aggressive as I "should" be...
Allisha Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I totally agree with this...and sometimes I wonder whether it's a bad thing if I'm not as aggressive as I "should" be... Don't even bother. We need respectful guys!
tigressA Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 This sounds really good. Looks like he's sticking to the "friends first" thing. He's expressing clear interest without trying to get physical. Making plans for the next date while still on a date is also a big positive. Enjoy the good feeling of knowing that you had fun and connected with someone. Onward!
zengirl Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Is this the guy who wanted to be friends first?
oaks Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 As we said good-bye - he only kissed me me on the cheek and didn't really attempt to touch me or kiss me on the lips I kind of touched him a bit during conversation but he didn't return this. This isn't always a bad sign. Remember that you said he couldn't take his eyes off you, and kept telling you that you are gorgeous. It sounds like he likes you but perhaps he just likes to take things slowly.
Ariadne Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Hey, Well, just as you were about to quit. Is this "Artist" this guy from the other thread? looking to start out as friends ultimately wants to settle down and have a family.. He is extremely good looking. 6'3", ripped, dark long-ish hair, green eyes, olive complexion. This guy gives off really weird vibes and am not sure what to think of him. Since we talked on the phone few days ago, he has been calling every day since (even though we have already set up the date). I just get some sort of weird vibe from this guy. I can't put my finger on it. We are meeting tomorrow at 2pm. And he STILL said he will call me again when he wakes up tomorrow. WTF I feel a bit more comfortable about him re-scheduling as he explained in detail and it sounded legit. He has 2 jobs and seems to have friends.... He kept interrupting the conversation to tell me "Wow you are so gorgeous". He asked if he could paint me, but then said "that's more like a fifth date activity" we live 75kms apart and he asked if that bothered me. I replied that it didn't and he said that it doesn't bother him at all. He is happy to make the drive. only kissed me me on the cheek and didn't really attempt to touch me or kiss me on the lips I kind of touched him a bit during conversation but he didn't return this. "Me too :)" Sounds like a player and like he is playing you. But I guess we'll see what happens here. Good luck! At least you liked him!
