J: What's Next?

Well…we had talked about continuing with our stories on this blog. But since I’m officially done with the challenge and both Elle & Sheila are happily tucked away with their men, it’s seeming like we’ll have less and less to write about in regards to the “Date of the Month”.

I’m still out there on the dating scene but Mr. December has made a surprising comeback!

That man has played his cards right! In mid-January he texted me letting me know that so far, he pretty much likes everything about me and that he wanted to take me out on a serious date.

And, (surprisingly) instead of freaking me out, his text made me smile.

So we had a ‘real’ date: a seriously fancy dinner (hands down, the nicest I’ve ever had) and then some seriously hokey country dancing. We hit both ends of the social spectrum…and I couldn’t have had more fun. Our next date is set for tomorrow and already I’m looking forward to seeing him again and can’t wait to show him around my neck of the woods.

The thing is…I’m just so comfortable around this guy. We can (and have) talked for hours about everything from sushi to religion. I was a bit worried about the friend-to-potential-boyfriend transition. But so far, it’s gone quite well. And thankfully, he’s taking this very slowly. Since I learned my lesson about rushing last year, I’m extremely appreciative about that…but also a bit impatient. Which is delicious. (Again…another sign that he’s playing this game the right way.)

If you would like to keep following my story, check out the blog that I’ll be participating in this year with a new group of ladies. We’re calling it “Well, you know how women are…” and we’ll be covering a range of topics from general themes like “love” (this month) to more ummm…touchy issues (like last month’s “What do you do if you walk in on your son/husband looking at porn.”) We’d love to have you join the dialogue. You can find us here.

Thanks, again, to everyone who’s been reading! It was without a doubt, a year I will never forget!
