Crickets...and Revelation.

So, I go out on my fifth date with AT and it was a bit awkward. He is very intelligent, reads history books as a hobby, doesn't own a television which I think is great. He also watches documentaries and let me tell you his intelligence is really sexy but I feel like we don't have much in common. We had dinner and talked a bit about what he does for fun, hang out with his buddies and plays leader of the world with a life size map at his apartment which is completely nerdy and adorable at the same time :). I feel like he expects me to be somewhat on the same level when it comes to talking about politics and history and I for one haven't cracked a history book since junior college.

So we ended the date with a great kiss. We're great at kissing :) but that was a week and half ago and I haven't heard from him. So I'm not sure what our status is. I have a feeling he will probably text me sometime in the coming weeks which is cool. I honesty am not looking for a husband since I have dated since Y2K so I had no expectations.

It felt great having someone attracted to me and vice versa and it's funny I didn't know how much I missed it until I actually was experiencing it. I'm more confident in myself which is great. I also was seeing a therapist last year to help me with the dating game since I got too comfortable with not dating. I want to have relationships with the opposite sex who are not related to me. She noticed that I have issues with having confidence in my intelligence. When  describing myself I would say that I'm nice, good person, great listener, ethical, cute but I'd never say smart or intelligent. I have finally learned not to compare myself  physically with others and I need to learn to do that with my intelligence as well.

Baby steps I say. So the search continues and I'm excited to find him and I know its a journey not a race and that it'll take time and patience. I believe the right guy will be worth going through bad dates and such. I think I may take a week break looking at online profiles, its become a bit frustrating.

Hopefully I will be reporting on another date soon on my next post.

Til the next time.
