Cautiously Optimistic

Date #2 went well.

As I said the first time- cute, funny, smart and able to hold a conversation. Still true.

He's also super nice, interesting, and agreed with my dislike of bowling, mini golf, zoos, etc. (and yeah, that made me like him even more). Really, if I'm being honest, there were a lot of qualities that made me like him even more.

We're seeing each other again this weekend and I'm looking forward to it. However, I am not allowing myself to be excited yet. I will only be cautiously optimistic and say that he has a lot of good qualities and we'll see where it goes. I'm not getting ahead of myself. Two dates is not enough to know anything yet.

In two dates, he does not yet know that I talk in baby talk to my dog entirely more than is socially acceptable. He doesn't know that I wear sweatpants 99% of the time. He doesn't know that I randomly burst into song often enough that my roommates think I might have tourette's syndrome (I don't, it's just a camp thing, ask any camp person). He also hasn't had time to get sick of hearing, "this one time at camp..." He doesn't know that my bookshelves are alphabetized or that the minute I get cold, hungry, or tired, I immediately turn into a 3 year old. These are probably not things that will change, and could definitely be deal breakers for any guy. Likewise, I'm sure there are things about him that might drive me insane.

So anyway, the point is, I'm not getting ahead of myself. I have too much work to do this week to be distracted. So I will not be writing his name inside hearts on my notebook. I will be directing a camp. And that's that.
