Step 2: The Dating

So, after date one on Thursday, he texts me when he gets home with his date recap (Back story: Before our first date, but after we started talking, he went on a couple of other first dates and I jokingly asked for a recap once, and then he would do it after each of them.). He tells me he had an amazing time and that I was everything he hoped I would be in person, and looks forward to seeing me again (again, I wish I still had the original message saved). Well, I had emailed Alabama on Thursday about having some extra comedy show tickets and after he emailed me back (two days later, of course) saying he would not be in town and able to go (but could I go to Six Flags on the 29th? YES I CAN!!), I think "what the heck! Hey Jerry, I had a good time too, and usually I wouldn't do this, but do you want to come to a comedy show tomorrow night?"

Of course he does. He is smitten with me. Two dates in two days... whoa. Okay, still have cute conversation all day Friday and we try to figure out the before show "do we eat there? can we eat there? do they have food? we can get food nearby?" food situation.. we briefly discuss having a Totino's pizza (a personal fave- don't judge me, dammit) picnic, but I was feeling bratty, thinking about my upcoming date with Alabama and decided against the dinner in front of my apartment option. He picks me up, I'm annoyed that he couldn't follow my simple directions to get to my apartment. We get to the theatre, I'm annoyed-er because he wasn't doing a good job getting to a parking spot. Why am I so aggravated?!? No clue... or maybe I hate hate hate being late and HE IS MAKING ME LATE. Whatever. This guy is whatever. Ugh.

Then we go in, he is nice to my friends, he buys everyone's first drink and we hang out and talk. He's interesting and sweet and he's growing on me. The comedy show is terrible. Screech (yeah, that's right- from Saved by the Bell) is definitely not funny. Just gross and dirty and raunchy and talk about an uncomfortable second date! Well, the show ends, I get my picture with Dustin Diamond and we head out. What do you want to do? Oh, I dunno. What do you wanna do? Oh I dunno- okay, you get how this goes. We end up down at a bar on lower Greenville that has noone there where we are just going to have a couple of drinks and chat. Or so we thought... UNTIL!! (dun dun dun) What do I spy?! NUDIE PHOTO HUNT! Which normally might not be that exciting, but I was pretty excited. We end up playing for a couple of hours and it is a ton of fun. He's growing on me =)

Time to go home, walks me to my door (deal breaker if I'm left to brave the walk to my own door in case of villains, bad guys, dragons, etc), goes in for the kiss, and 15 minutes later, I decide it's better to move this party inside, what with the neighbors and all.

He heads home three hours later (no slumber party!), and texts me when he gets home. He tells me about what an amazing night he had and how he looks forward to seeing me again- and can't wait until he gets to. =)
