It has been four days since I had the best date I have ever had. We met online on OKCupid (i know, not the best site) and we had talked for weeks before we decided to meet.

A little back story......

See i had basically given up on dating anyone after my last relationship problems...I have this knack for choosing guys that are nice at first and then basically go psycho...like the whole jedi experience I STILL can not live down with family and friends. The last guy was a superman freak that told me he loved me the night of our first date...then when i was leaving town he drove us to the airport and totally kept yelling I LOVE YOU when my best friend lazypuppy and I were leaving. This was 3 years ago! I finally decided to get back out there.

OK back to my point....

So we made plans to meet up at Rock Bottom on Friday Night. I saw him and he is very good looking and he just said "wow." See I am not the most beautiful girl out there and I have NEVER received a wow when it comes to my looks. So this started off great. We tried to get a table, but there was no way we were waiting 55+ minutes for one...so we walked around the promenade and took a look at the other places around, including Carino's (YUM). But they were packed as well. Then there was this place called Bar Louie and we went there.

We had a great meal, filled with lots of laughter and talk. In fact I found myself staring a few times and I noticed he was too. Shortly after we had finished eating and we were enjoying our drinks the place started to get packed. The Nuggets game was on in the bar and it was loud. We decided this wasn't the best place to talk. So he asked if there was a nice bar around that we could sit down and chat. I couldn't think of one that wouldn't be packed...then I looked out the window and noticed the Westin hotel. I said, " I know this is going to sound bad...but the hotel across the street has a bar we could check that place out. See I had never been to the Westin Bar...so I really didn't know much about it. All i knew was the my best friend's boyfriend's mother worked there...and I didn't think this was her day to work...although now that I think back I should have known better.

So off we went to the bar. There was like 4 people in there. It was quiet and cozy. Plus my best friend's boyfriend's mother was tending bar and she was really happy to see me. Anyways, we ordered some drinks and just talked. At this point we had been out for going on 2.5 hours and we had talked the whole time. It was nice. We kept talking and getting a little closer while we were sitting on the bar stools...he slowly grabbed my hand. He also took his other arm and did the behind the back "yawn" thing to get is arm around me. It was great to be able to talk to someone who made me laugh soooo much. Then we had our first kiss. It was amazing.

Anyways at about 11:30 or so (5 hours into the date) we looked around and realized the bar had a bunch of people come into it. I didn't even notice. Again it was getting loud so we decided to take our drinks into the lobby of the hotel. There is a huge fireplace and a ton of seating. We sat on this huge leather couch in front of the fire. We sat out there just snuggling for a long time and talking about our families and about ourselves. we also were quietly joking about how much we liked each other and some of the jokes we shared in our email correspondence.

Then around 1am we decided that we should probably leave the hotel. We walked back to my car and I drove him to his car. But before he got in his car we sat the chatting and talking some more. We chatted for over an hour...then we noticed the time and decided we should get home. We kissed and then I went home and so did he.

So I am bad at this dating thing...cause I called him the next evening, cause I knew he wasn't working. Turns out he was working on a truck of his friends...and couldn't talk. He said he would call me later. Which is completely fine with me. But he didn't call, although around 2am I received an email that said, "we just finished the truck. Talk to you tomorrow." Again he didn't call...not that I really noticed till I thought about him. I got another email that said sorry I didn't call i have been extremely busy. I will call you tomorrow afternoon...that was yesterday and I haven't heard a thing.

MY POINT.... should I have called him? was it too soon or should I have waited. I have no idea about dating etiquette and when people are supposed to call people...I just did what I felt was right. Is there anything wrong with that? Anyways should I call him back...and when? I feel like this not knowing when to call shit is juvenile.

But luckily for me...that was the best first (blind) date I had ever been on. My stomach had butterflies and I truly had never felt like that before. Just amazing.
