Date #2

Okay, so "If" and I have been chatting on the phone for three weeks now,..ever since meeting at the beach....you can read about it here:
We have been out to lunch and that went reasonably well. I say reasonably, because it was only an hour,..we both had on our game faces, and it was the first time we had seen each other since the ten minute initial meeting in the parking lot at the beach. The cool thing is that we met very naturally. It was simple, it didn't involve alcohol and a smokey bar, and it was not a set-up....just plain old fashion "Hi, what's your name" with a hint of player from her side involved. Friday night we are going for round two, a real date. She is a little standoffish since she is fresh out of a long termer....6 years,....but fine by me. There is no pressure and no expectations and it should be fun. If all goes well and King Swingstein backs out of going to the races with me the 1st of July, I will offer her his seat. Swingstein has had an unfortunate bout of bad luck and thus may not be able to make a weekend of it and it would be a drive and expensive anyway. So I will more than likely still have his ticket to offer up. She likes racing and wants to go to one and it does make for a perfect "Tolerance Date"

So, back to the matter at hand.....I use the road trip to find out just how well two can get a long, because often times on the road we are faced with challenges, teamwork, and lots of conversation. BUT do not attempt this unless you have all of the will to suffer your own consequences......"If" was going to be next...........
BUT, I had to go on another date with ehr before I made the full offer, although I had dropped a hint and she was very recptive to the idea.......soooo the following Date #2 was all over the Jacksonville map. This was our official first date. I had picked her upa key ring from Vegas, just as a little gift,...little did I know she collects key rings and has several hundred of them....I got her a set of stainless steel dice on a chain,..pretty cool. I showed up on time, with flowers, and ready to have a good time. We left her place and went to Sushi Rock for dinner (she liked Sushi,..but hadn't tried many different types,.so we tried just about all of them. I introduced her to plum wine,..which I love with Sushi,..and of course Sake! We had a great time getting to know each other and eating,..so we went for a walk down to an art gallery that has a super local artist that I show to anyone I can. Luckily all of his work was on display in the front window, as the gallery was closed. We walked back to me truck talking about the art,..she loved it,...and dinner...
We were deciding where to go next, so we went to a hooka bar near my place....had a couple of drinks watched the band and some fat people dance....talk about entertainment. The music was only so-so , thus we decided to go to a little more hip of a place down the road,..all the time her and I were laughing holding hands,...basically having a great date..............We went to the next bar and the good times were rolling...we had a few more drinks and it began to get affectionate. A great kisser she was.........this is super important.......
We closed the place out, but neither of us was ready to go,...I had a couple of Smirnoffs in my cooler in the truck so we went down to the river to hang out,...we stayed in the truck and it began to get really fun,.....we were all over each other AND she started it......but the tiny bladder syndrome so many of you women have, came marching in full force so we left, and shortly after that I took her home......great date, fun night, semi-action,...and an agreement to do it again........
