Third Date

So tonight I am going to a Jazz Club in D.C. to see one of my closest friends and her husband who is performing. I invited a guy I've been on two dates with whom I'll call AT and he is seriously adorable and way younger than me. I told myself that I do need to start dating and he was cute and sweet so why not. The first date went great, we spoke for two hours, the next date I met him downtown on a Saturday and it was a beautiful day and I stupidly went to the wrong museum and he was totally cool about it, so that was a good sign. He doesn't sweat the small stuff for now. I could have lived without the tourists, but besides that we walked around a lot, went to the Hirshhorn and had lunch and the second date ended with a hug. Now mind you I am attracted to him and I am completely freaking out about our potential first kiss tonight. For god sake I am an adult and oldest of us two but am sooooooo sooooooo nervous. I know, I'm over thinking and freaking out but that's what I do and its been a very long time since I connected with a guy. Oh and breaking news on our second date he stated that he has a child which threw me since that wasn't in his profile but I was like you know at my age (30's) I shouldn't be a shocker, although him being 27 and having a kid is well something I'm not too worried about just yet. I am glad he didn't hide it so that was a good thing. 

Dating as you all know is very hard and I for one have always been known as a shy girl in high school and in college. Now I'm a bit more mature and confident and peoples' expectations or judgement doesn't define me as much anymore. It used to in my 20's because I didn't know better but now life is short and there are too many people in the world to try to make each and everyone one of them accept me for who they think I should be or be with.

So I send good tidings to cupid and my angels up there that tonight will be a nice and fun night. No pressure fun, fun, fun. I plan on looking fabulous. 

I'll report back with how it all went. Til the next time.
