Windows and Doors

There's a cliche saying that where one door closes, another one opens. Or, that God never closes a door without opening a window.

Man is that ever true.

I went on 2 first dates today, just a week after my breakup with Mr. Music. One date was coffee this morning with an Indian fella. No chemistry- seemed painfully shy, but I knew I wasn't attracted to him as soon as we met. I did, however, tell him about the 20s/30s group at my church, as one of the things he expressed his life lacks is a social peer group. He said he'd check out the UUCA website, but I dunno if we'll ever see him come visit.

The other date though... wow! When this guy first contacted me, I knew there might be some chemistry. He's a fellow pisces. All the (all = 2) Piscean men I've dated I've had enormous physical chemistry with. I knew the potential was there (not guaranteed, mind you) . He's older than me, which is great- breaks the cycle of younger men. He's cute, clean cut, blue eyes, dimples, nice body, and has a wonderfully deep voice, with a hint of country in it. Not too much to make one cringe, but just a hint of Western Cowboy... Brokeback Mountain without the homosexuality.

We met for coffee late this afternoon. We almost didn't meet. He'd had a late night earlier, and a hike with someone previous to meeting up with me. I could have easily called it off to rest.... but I'm really glad I didn't. We talked about a lot of things over coffee. As the sun went down, and lights around us came on, he suggested getting a bite to eat. I wasn't hungry, but I didn't say so... I'd been hoping he'd ask me. We went to dinner and talked about things most people don't ever talk about on the first date. I liked that. Less dancing around certain hot topics and being all PC for fear of rejection by the other person. He walked me to my car after dinner and asked to kiss me. Damn he's a good kisser. I'm sure we pissed off the people trying to pull into the parking space next to my car, but I didn't care. Seldom have I felt such an intense initial chemistry with someone. It was better than expected.

I definitely look forward to seeing him again. mmm yeah.
