His Name is......

Gary.

My record has been shattered. Not only did I get a second date but also a third one and plans for next weekend and for New Year's Eve.

We met at Margarita's in Portland. We had a nice meal, good conversation. We hung out until almost midnight, driving around looking at Xmas lights and just chatting. He brought me back to my car and asked if I was interested in seeing him again. Yes, I was. So we arranged to meet the next day to xmas shop together.

We shopped and we ate then he came back to my house and we played cribbage and watched football. He stayed the night, on the couch. He was a total gentleman. I think he really does like me and doesn't want to rush things only to have them fizzle. I appreciate that. It was strange waking up in the morning knowing there was a strange man out on my couch. We went to breakfast then he headed home. Since he refuses to let me pay for a meal when we go out, I'm going to get some steaks and cook for him next weekend.

I'm taking it one day at a time but I do like him.
