I don't much like surprises. I read movie reviews before I watch them, and I don't go to restaurants without a recommendation.
Last night, my date and I went to a restaurant on a whim. What a pleasant surprise! It was one of the best meals ever; the food and the service were excellent. Who knew this little place in a strip mall would have that rare combination of great food and causal atmosphere?
It was a simple yet magical night. It's surprising to meet someone so different from me yet so similar. Most men I meet expect something from me, either my time or my company or what I can do for them. I once lived to please other people. Not any more, so even though I meet plenty of great guys, no one has been quite right. Conversely, when I expected too much at times, the dating experiences have turned sour.
So, it's a new beginning. I don't know what's going to happen, but I've learned to be patient and let life unfolds. For now, I am very, very happy...
