Sorry I haven't updated you sooner! It's harder than I thought to keep up with these postings! A few quick things to note: I've changed the name of my blog to Beyond Bromance, I think it's a bit catchier haha. The other thing is that something came up on Thursday for both me and the guy so we both had to cancel. Such is life right! But we are going out tonight!
So who is this guy that I've decided to date? Let's call him C. Yes, we met on ManHunt because to be honest at the time we were both just looking for a hook up. This was late December shortly before Christmas. We messaged a lot online and then started to text even more. C is from Europe and he was here visiting for the holidays and new years. Unfortunately things got pretty crazy right before Christmas with work and family things and we both couldn't meet up. He went home after new years so we've been communicating long distance since then. I think that this was actually fortunate that we didn't meet because it kind of forced us to keep txting, talking on the phone and - yes we did sext each other a lot but in between those sessions we've chatted about life and gotten to know each other better.
You might be thinking I'm insane! How could you date a guy that's across an ocean, in a different country, that's 5 hours ahead of you in time!? C is actually moving here in March for work! He's here this weekend to finalize his moving plans and to buy furniture...which I guess I'm invited to tag along with him to provide style advice?! I'll update you on how that goes haha! C is a really great guy, he's really successful, close with his family and he's not bad to look at either ;) He also has a great sense of humor which is a big thing for me, if you can't laugh at life, laugh at yourself once in a while you're taking life way to seriously for me.
C asked me out when he knew that he was coming back this weekend. He's made reservations and all that but what's cute and funny is that he hasn't told me where we are going yet? Haha! Nor the time when we are suppose to meet...some of you might think that's unnerving but I'm a really easy, out going adventurous social guy so this is right up my alley.
I'm really interested to see where this goes, C and I have agreed to just take this slow, one step at a time. He's really supportive about making me feel comfortable about my not being out. He asked me the other day: "So when we meet what do we do? Shake hands? LOL!" It had been something I had been thinking about a lot actually. I said let's start with a hand shake, but the more I thought about it the more comfortable I was with just going for gold and kissing him hello! I chatted with a friend of mine who was also a hook up buddy about it and he told me to just kiss him because I'm a great kisser! LOL! I mentioned this to him and even he was surprised! We'll see what I actually do today when I see him.
We both feel that regardless of how this pans out we will be friends no matter what happens which makes me feel good. He makes me feel good in general, I know this sounds like a generic statement but he really is a great guy, the things that he says, I can't believe I'm typing this but the things that he says tugs at my heart stings...he gives me butterflies! Like I said last post I've never been so nervous about meeting someone or a first date!
I think the thing that's making me most nervous is the fact that I've never been with a guy in a relationship. I've dated plenty of women and as we all know those traditional roles have been around since time began! I'm the type of guy who usually pays when I go out with a girl, takes care of her - you know the type of guy I mean! Now C has said to me both being funny but serious, that he is taking me out and he's paying and if I don't go along with it, things will get ugly haha! I've just sort of accepted it and moved on in hopes that I'll be able to return the favor.
Be Well
so...?
