Not Engaged Yet

So I dont thread jack!

I met him on OKCupid. I have gone on one other date with him. I had a bad day the other day and he sent these to me at work.


First flowers a guy has given me since high school. I am on cloud nine and it has taken all I have not to squee about it everyday! He is just the bees knees. A true gentleman. I tried to pay for the move we went to a few weeks ago, since it was his birthday the day before and he had paid for dinner, he would not let me. Also he does drive a truck so he got extra points on that!

    That is so awesome Molly! How sweet to not only get flowers, but to have them delivered to the office!! That is so thoughtful. You might have hooked a keeper there!

    [QUOTE]That is AWESOME. So sweet! BF has never had flowers delivered to me, though I admit he brings home a bunch from the local grocer/nursery every few months, which is sweet. So tell us more about this guy!<strong> I want the vital stats!</strong>

    The date is for this Saturday. Like what would you like to know? He is six foot three making him over a foot taller than I am, yes I had to stand on tip toe the first time we kissed. He builds the engines for commercial lawn mowers. Loves country music just as much as I do.

    Hey, those flowers are well worth squeeing over! Also, I met my FI on OKCupid. And got random flowers from him on our second date. So yeah, just sayin'. Keeper material. ;)

    Aww, that's so sweet! : ) I agree with Liv. A guy that is a foot taller than you is nice, lol. FI is about an inch or two taller than I am. I love him though, so I'm ok with it, lol.

    Oh, and we met on OkCupid too!!! FI and I went to the same college, lived in dorms that were right next to each other, but didn't meet until after we both graduated thanks to OkCupid! : )

    He's never gotten me flowers though ... lol.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: So I dont thread jack! : I would kill to have that. KILL. BF is like 1.5 inches shorter than me on a good day. HA. I love him like crazy, but he is a bit vertically challenged. 6'3 is hot.  What is the best thing about him? Is he funny or serious? How old is he?  Do you know much about his family or history? How long did you talk before you went out? Is he a good kisser?
    Posted by LivLeighton[/QUOTE]


    There is so many things about him that I cant pick the best one. He knows how to treat a lady, he actually talked to me and never even tried to move the convo to the adult stuff when we were first talking. He did cop a little side boob action when we kissed. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> He gives the best hugs, he opens the car door for me and makes sure to help me in since his truck is a little bit high off the ground.He has a little county twang in his voice that I just adore. He said bulls**t and I laughed pretty hard at the way he said it.I loved it so much he made a recording of it for me lol.

     He is pretty funny and I do find myself laughing a whole lot more. He does have his serious moments. He said something that didn't go over too well with me, he made sure we discussed it right then and there. He made it very clear he wants me to communicate right when it happens and does not want me to stew in any ill feelings.

    He is 34 as of November second. That is the biggest span in age for me. I had some reservations about a five year span, but once i started to really get to know him it was forgotten. My mom said to me that he is getting pretty old if he ever wants kids. Mothers! He is never married and no kids at this time.

    I know some about his family, he is the first born of two boys and his mom and dad are still together. As far as history i assume dating. He has had a few serious GFs. Last one was over a year ago and they were together for three years til she cheated.

    We talked for a week over email before I spoke on the phone with him. We have been texting mostly as I work ten hour days sat to tues. He works the early morning shift so goes to bed before I am off work. We went on the first date on November 3rd. I wasn't even going to respond to his e-mail since I was only intending on getting the profile updated and back up after it being deactivated for so long. He e-mailed me the very next day after I put it up.

    Is he a good kisser? OH HELL YAH. But then after only getting a quick peck on the lips for the past three years maybe everyone is a great kisser to me lol. It felt like my first kiss all over again! I am so excited to see him Saturday so I can kiss him again.

    As far as the adult actives, not yet. My mom just spoke to me about this. She says that I should not put myself in the situation I am. Living in part of the rent's home is a pain in the butt! Here is back story. I had reserved a room months ago in the block my friend put aside for wedding guests who would be drinking. Prepaid and non refundable. Well this was when the ex and I were going. I am still going to use  the room as I do want to enjoy some adult drinks that will not allow me to drive. Yes I invited him to stay with me. He has made it clear he will not ask me to do anything I am not comfortable doing. Even offered to sleep in a separate bed. Is this a bad idea to place myself into this situation? If things were to happen, we are adults are we not?

    Edit: the card said "hope your day gets better"

    I am set on things not happening yet and he is aware of this. I know he would stop because the side boob was all he went for and we have talked about comfort levels. I also told him some of my rules. Never kiss a guy without knowing his full name, never make him your boyfriend until you have kissed him at least twice and never have sex with him unless you can spend your life with him.

    I know that he would be good, that's why I trust him enough to have invited him to stay. He lives an hour away also so it makes me feel better if he didn't drive that late at night. It also doesn't make sense to both pay for separate rooms.

    [QUOTE]I met husband on OKCupid. It's actually a good matching system since it's based on intellectual compatibility and asks money and political questions as well as emotional-based questions. So glad to hear things are going well for you!!

    Yeah.... I totally did that, too.  In my defense, the first makeout session was orgasmically good (that had never happened to me before and hasn't happened since), so I had to have the real deal the 2nd night.

    Who am I kidding?  I probably would have slept with him without the makeout session orgasm.

    If you're not going to sleep with him until you know you could spend your life with him, you should probably wait a lot longer until the 3rd date...
