Date Night
Last night was date night. It was the night that KT35 and I planned to go out on a date. Normally my dates consist of inviting her over, drinking wine, and watching a movie. Yes, it was something different from what I normally do on my dates. We both wanted to go check out Dark Knight. KT35 came by my place to pick me up. She immediately gave me a kiss when I got into the car. That is when I realized it’s been 2 weeks since we’ve kissed. Wow, it seems like it’s been forever. She was wearing denim shorts, a nice tank top and Chuck Taylor shoes. She looked cute as ever. One look at those legs and I knew I would be touching them during the movie. The theater is only a couple miles away and we talked the whole way there. She was telling me all about her new job and new co-workers. Even though we talk every day it’s not the same as talking in person. She spend most of the time driving and trying to keep eye contact with me. I spent most of the time riding shot gun and watching the road, since she wasn’t.
We arrived at the theater at 8pm. That gave us 30 minutes to get settled before the movie started. We shared some Blue Bell 
ice cream, strawberry flavor. We also shared a bag of popcorn. The theater wasn’t full and we just sat there talking during the previews. Immediately we began to hold hands and snuggle. The one thing that I noticed about this theater was the arm rests didn’t flip up. Damn! That meant she couldn’t get totally comfortable. Oh well, we’ll just have to make it work. From the start, the movie had my attention. I spent most of the movie with a conflict of interest. I had a bag of popcorn in my left hand. and my right hand on her leg. Some how I had to get a drink in there too. I felt like I needed a couple extra hands. For most of the movie, she kept her arm wrapped around my right arm. When the movie finally was over we walked out holding hands. It appears that she is ready to have a real relationship with me. It might take a few more weeks before she comes out and says it, but I think it’s going to happen.
My biggest issue is… I’m not in the habit of sitting around and waiting on 1 woman. That means I’m still going to date other women. I don’t plan to force the issue with her, but I also don’t know if I will meet someone that I am attracted to during that period of time.

Of course a few weeks is toooo long to let the women you adore come to a conclusion.
Way to go Eathan…you actually are disappointing me on this one.

I am? Explain…
I’m not sitting on my thumb and waiting..I’m just going to continue going forward.. If it works out great..if it doesn’t…then oh well. That’s why I have a rotation
The main thing is.I’m not sitting and waiting on anyone.

You really like this chic…and i mean REALLY. Is she not worth putting your plans on pause for a week or two to give her some time to think? Maybe you can spend more time with her during the few weeks and come to a conclusion together.
…i’m just saying pimpin…does it ever get old?

we’re not exclusive.. So she can date like i’m dating.
I think she could be worth it. Until we have that convo… there’s no need in me pretending that it’s more than it is. When she decides what she wants.. then we’ll go down that road “together”. Until then, she has the same options that I have.

My question Eathan…is what will happen to IDW if you do settle down with “the one”? I’m just curious…..
[Reply]
If that happens..I’ll still write on what’s going on. I’m not going any where..yet
[Reply]
My question is ..Who is waiting on who to have the “convo” Is she waiting on you to bring up the subject and are you waiting on her to bring up the subject? Ya’ll could be waiting a long time.
Would you consider just doing something other than the horizontal bop with other women to fill up some of your spare time?

I’ve already introduced the idea.. she’s not wanting to continue it. So there’s not much for me to do.. She realizes that i’ve taken a step back to give her space.
And I’ve made it clear…it’s up to her to bring it up again.. otherwise..I’ll leave it as is.

I’d like to start by saying that I’m all about dating as many guys as possible. But…
When in your situation, I slow down or weed out the current roster and I don’t start up anything new. That’s just my rule. I know I can find someone else to date while the guy makes up his mind. And it sure seems like that for you… But don’t you deserve to see what might happen if you’re patient? And doesn’t she deserve just a bit of your patience?
When I’m totally smitten, I bench the roster & only see that one guy- convo or no convo. I just think it’s more true to myself & usually the guy brings it up shortly after that point anyway.
Missy makes an excellent point about the convo. I never bring it up.
Everyone is different though & you just have to do what is right for you.

I’ve given it a couple weeks so far.. I’ll wait a bit longer until the urge passes. I always feel there is a time when you’re on the edge of your seat…and if it doesn’t happen then the window of opportunity has passed. I’m nobodys fool… i won’t wait forever

CHICKEN. You know you like her more than the rest. Are you going to spend the rest of your life wondering if there’s something better? I’m with Emily on benching the rest of the roster. If nothing else, it gives you a chance to concentrate on one person to see how you really feel about them, not compare them to the next person you think you might click with or the person you went out with the night before.

@ Eathan - Maybe she’s hesitant about expressing long-term goals with you because she knows you’re dating, out and about and not indicating through “actions” that you’re looking for more from her. ACTIONS, ACTIONS, ACTIONS, speak louder than words. You can’t spare your rod for a few weeks to show her that you’re serious about her? Is it that you don’t want to put yourself emotionally out there for her? You want a relationship with this woman, start it off in the right direction with honesty about how you feel, what you’re wiling to do to show how you feel about her and then confirm that with her by putting your dating to the side for a bit and focusing on her? To thine own self be true.

She already knows… nothing else for me to do. The ball is in her court.

That’s an easy guard to put up Eathan. To dismiss it all of what could have been, by saying, “well, I said something and she didn’t reciprocate…so I’ll keep cruising”. You will go through your whole life wondering about what could have been if you don’t really, really, really put yourself out there emotionally and bank on someone you feel you want. You ain’t always gonna be fine by friend……go outside of your emotional comfort zone, make yourself a little vulnerable and see how she responds.

You know, sometimes it’s just plain scary. I see it as fear of rejection. Maybe fear of wasting your time. Fear of letting your guard down and maybe even wondering if there is something better that is going to come along. I am only saying that from my experience not yours. Those are the thoughts that go thru my head. I am going thru something similiar right now and really, it can be scary to tell someone how you feel, especially when they don’t feel completely the same way. Cheers!
