I did survive my coffee meetings today. I actually had fun. Chip showed up on time and looked exactly like his photo and, of course, he had no clue what I’d look like but he knew it was me. We chatted for quite a while just like old friends. Timothy showed up 30 minutes early and saw me with Chip and asked if I brought along a bodyguard! Chip said I looked 35 which was a huge ego boost and made me feel good, but I’m sure I’ll know what each thought of me later on when they email.

I did it, I did it with confidence, and I’m glad it’s behind me. But it helped me gain some confidence to meet John.

Uhm, yeah, a new guy. I’m meeting him on Friday for coffee. I only began corresponding with him this weekend but we spoke on the phone today and I felt a good connection. I was pretty blunt and open and told him I didn’t remove any body hair and he said he was fine with it. I told him I didn’t shave my pits and again, he seemed fine with it, mentioned he was very, very hairy — as if that’s a problem?!?! He’s in the service so no facial hair!

We seem to want the same thing and he seemed to understand my needs and wants and he mirrors it. I told him I’d meet him for coffee but nothing else, I needed to date someone for a bit before getting involved and he seemed ok with that, too.

He is about 30 minutes away and while I wish he were closer, I can live with that. So, we’ll talk tomorrow and set up a definite plan for Friday.
