Date Number Three...

I've been fighting this goofy smile since last night. Now that I'm home and rested it's found a nice place to lay it's head.

I'm guessing you know now that it went well. I just want you all to know that with all the good dates we've been on in the last little bit I will never be an optimist, however I am going to be optmomistic about our relationship. So he watched the band play with us tonight. He brought a few friends as a buffer (whom I've met and love anyway) and so did I. The company of coworkers and roommates was a perfect escape from the awkwardness of a real date at my place of employment. At one point in the evening I parted ways for a few to catch up with some old friends and Fritas and Superman had a great conversation. He got an outlandish score on cool points from my friends.

After that we moved the party to his place where I got to take on my only relationship speed bump head on. I made it outside with K (his roommate who hates me), and tried to confront my combatant head on. However, Superman and his buds came out at the same time to save me from a fight. I guess it's hard to date if the best friend hates you. Later in the night via text I was happy to find he is going to be nothing but civil, despite his feelings.

We chilled for a while playing Rock Band but I needed to go home, so he walked me out to my car. This was one of those great nights when you know the kiss is coming and you try to bottle the "stage fright" feeling. It just so happened that he kissed me in the best way possible. It was one of those "walk away, whirl you around and have you way with them" kiss. Even though we've dated before, I'd consider that our first kiss.

As you know there will be more to come in meeting his friends again, the New Years party (which I'll mention later), and all the drama that comes with it all!!
