CoolJoe Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 Been texting this girl I met online for the past week. To the point of over texting even. She initiated most of the contact. I replied to be kind and to be frank I was interested in talking with her -- dating rules dos and don'ts be DAMNED. Tonight she suggested a meet up at coffee to play a card game with her sister and her friend. Said 4 players is better than 3. We had a first meeting/date lined up for next weekend but I figured this was a great opportunity to meet each other and start to at least put a face to the texts. Also, it's healthy to see the other person and not just build up or project in your own head a persona of the person based on words on a screen. Long story short, I went to have fun with zero expectations. Left feeling high on cloud 9. I passed the test. Her bestie seemed to like me. She slapped my arm four times laughing after I said something random or made a joke based on the moment. Her sister laughed at my quips and I made the girls smile and laugh a lot with random comments based on how the card game was being played out. At the end I hugged my date good night and after getting home the conversation continued on text. She asked what I thought and such, and I was confident telling her "Yeah, I like what I saw. Let's keep this up and see where it goes" basically, and she was basically down with that. Feels good to act and be confident. It was one of those first meetings where you leave going "Holy crap, that was a story to tell for the future..." you know those meetings and evenings where you leave going, "Yep, my life is going to change a little bit from this point forth..." ? It was definitely one of those nights. So far, so good. Still a ways to go, but passed that crucial step of having met and both parties liking what they saw. Last several online girls I dated misrepresented themselves (old pics, pics of when they were 40 pounds lighter). It was refreshing to meet someone like their picture. I also find myself fairly attracted to her whereas past girls admittedly was very low on interest but gave it the old college try anyway because who knows (but you really already know going into the first date but hey you try anyway coz 1 in a million right?) Anyway, happy to report positive news and wishing everyone out there well. All it takes is one match and the right match. If it doesn't work out with someone, that just means you're one person closer to meeting your match. Cheers.
unicorn_with_baggage Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 Really awesome story! I hope your first official date goes well. She's a smart girl having had a couple of people meet you before the big event. You know in case you turn out to be a psycho. I like her style. 1
Author CoolJoe Posted May 15, 2017 Author Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Really awesome story! I hope your first official date goes well. She's a smart girl having had a couple of people meet you before the big event. You know in case you turn out to be a psycho. I like her style. Thanks. Agreed. Also I am glad we met before our first date. It just allowed us both to get a small taste of what the other person is like in real life. Way too easy to build up your own image of what someone should be like when you have not met them and have been talking for 11 days (which would have been the case had we not met last night; instead we met after talking for four days). Been disappointed by girls' looks in real life as compared to their photos. There is a lot of deception out there whether purposefully or not. Was so relieved when I saw her last night it was like ok, that's what I'm talking about. Also, as unconventional as our first meeting was, and perhaps I broke a dating rule by already meeting her bestie AND her sister, I am glad to have tried something new. Too many typical coffee first dates where it's one on one Q&A session and it's rather uneventful. Playing a card game kind of allows you to see someone in a different light. It was all about having fun last night and I needed that change. I do well in game settings as I pick up quickly on the action and produce off the wall material based on what's going on. I think I was able to make a great first impression. In fact her bestie at one point even told me her BF and I would probably be best friends. I knew then it was a touchdown! I know I'm thinking way ahead but last night was a great story for us share down the road like at gatherings and maybe even a wedding. I know that's crazy to even think now but yeah, last night gave us great moments and a story. If she is seeing anyone else, I definitely stood out as a fun guy who her sister and bestie already approve of, heh. Unconventional as hell but what the hell. Sometimes life is about setting your own rules and path. Good to try something different! Edited May 15, 2017 by CoolJoe
