Not one to kiss and tell…

oh who am I kidding?  I’m a blogger – I’m destined to tell.  I had a very lovely evening.  Matthew arrived around 6:20 and we left to go play miniature golf.  Amazingly I beat him by one point but it was a nice time where we got to visit.  We went to Outback steakhouse for dinner which was really good and we split cheesecake for dessert.  We had some good conversation and I found out that we are very similar in a lot of ways.  We’re both a little bit shy in that we tend to be analytical and reflective.  We have some similar interests – both fascinated by water and like the forensic science type shows.  When we were leaving the restaurant he put his arm around me.

After dinner we came back to my house and Josh was here with friends playing video games.  I offered Matthew a beer and we visited in the kitchen for a bit.  I showed him my Marvin shrine and then Josh’s friends left.  So we went to the living room and sat rather close.  We talked.  We eventually held hands.  Then we cuddled.  He ran his fingers through my hair.  Then I was talking about lesson plans and he said “You really hate lesson plans don’t you?”  I said, “yes, with a passion.”  And with that he kissed me.  I know it sounds strange but that’s how it happened.  I knew he wanted to, but I was being awkward and shy.  But it was quite lovely and I enjoyed it immensely.  He just left about 15 minutes ago so I’m wondering if he’ll email me when I get home.  I have a feeling he will.  I know we’ll go out again so it’s turning out rather awesome I think.
