New news is good news

Well, boysenberries, I did it. I called Lawrence and said, "I think you should take me out tomorrow." He was like, "Uh, ok, I'm actually free tomorrow, so I can do that." He wondered why tomorrow, so I just told him straight out, 'The guy I've been dating's been pissing me off, and I wanted to go out with someone else, and you asked me out way back in December and I decided that if I was going to wait for you to ask me out for a specific time I'd be waiting forever." He replied, "No, not forever. . .it wouldn't have been this weekend, but it wouldn't have been forever! So, did you already plan what I'm taking you out to do?" He said that jokingly, it wasn't as pointed as it seems in type. Long story short (very long-he's a "nice" guy. He has to make sure everything's ok and no one's unhappy. They'll be no him taking charge in a manly way on his watch.) he's taking me for bar-b-que at a place that he loves but I've never heard of. Doc's or something. So, that's good then. Well then. We'll see how that turns out. But he was very specific to clarify that this isn't really a date, it's more of a dry run. I think he hasn't dated since he got divorced from his wife seven months ago. They were married for ten years. Of course, I didn't date for nearly that long, so maybe we're close to being on even footing. :)

Maybe he's one of those guys who doesn't think it's a real date unless he asks you...and the mentioning of it a few months ago doesn't count since you broke first and called him? *shrug* Anyway, I hope you guys have fun and he's not a jerk or really lame or anything...'cuz then you'd have to carry him. ;)

No, he's not like that, it's just that he's not ready to date yet. He told me. :) And he's kinda lame, but we have nice talks and he's not Jared, and that's the important thing.
