Time to get this fucker back on track.
Nearly three weeks after my first date with the OKC girl, I had my second one. (tonight). Seriously, I thought that I was blown off weeks ago. Long story, but basically she needs to attach her cell phone to her leg like an ankle monitor. She's left her phone in a friend's car the weekend we were supposed to go out, and then she left it at a friend's in San Antonio back on 7/3 so the date we were supposed to go on 7/5 never happened, and I never heard from her until last Sunday. By that time it had been so long I thought she was disinterested, and started chatting with a couple of other girls on OKC.
So I was surprised when I got two texts from her Sunday. Confused too. I really wasn't that excited, because she didn't apologize about cancelling the date, or at all. I'd just about blown her off myself. Waited a day or two before I replied, and then we talked and I made plans to grab some Thai food and go bowling tonight. Picked her up (she invited me in to meet her dog, which was a great sign - she allowed me into her space already!)
I don't have the time to explain how awesome the night and date was tonight. We had a very good night, conversation flowed easily, joking, flirting, touching, laughing, copious amounts of eye contact, smiling and remembering some things from my Communication class in college, she was mirroring what I did at dinner at times. For instance I put my hand under my chin as in a "thinking" pose, and she did it unconciously a few seconds later, and a few other times. I remember in my communication class that when somebody mirrors you it's a great sign on a date that she is into you. When a woman mirrors your actions, it is definitely subconscious, and a strong sign that she is interested in you.
Aside from all that, I just had a really GREAT time with her. It's amazing what a 28 y/o and 31 y/o have in common and can talk about... coming from a relationship where I was 10 years older than my ex. Haha she had me laughing many times throughout the night and I had her too! I like how she mocked OkCupid, calling it OkStupid. Also, when we were about to get to the Thai resturant she just randomly says "Hey, let's go see my grandparents. I'll introduce you." It was so sudden and off the cuff I thought she wasn't talking to me or something despite being the only one in the car. I said nothing, and she played the game for 10 seconds or so while it got more and more awkward until she finally laughed and said she just did that to see how I'd react. Her grandparents apparently live really close to the Thai restaruant we went to.
She has manners (thanking the waiters, me, etc.) Apologizing for what happened with not hearing from her and having the date cancelled because of that, offering to pay for the next date because I've paid for both the first and second, etc.
She has 5 tattoos! HOT. Gauges! HOT. Cute, petite, modest/shy. HOT.
I didn't end up kissing her, because she was holding her chihuahau near her face and I didn't want to my face bit - he was barking and nipping at my ankles the whole time I was in her apartment. (all of 3 minutes). But we had a sexy hug - I put my hands down low on her back. I left, feeling GREAT. She said she wants to do something again - maybe catch a roller derby match.
Finally, she texted me that she had an amazing time!
Oh shit guys... oh shit. This is crazy.
