First date ever....

OH

MY
GOSH

24 and a half and my 
first
ever
REAL date?!

Know what he looks like
Talked for a few weeks...
but never met
Hello On-line dating...

Ten minute walk to the bar that we are meeting at
The entire time my mind is going crazy
(maybe I should have taken a shot before coming to calm down!)

"Well.. here goes nothin"
I thought as I rounded the corner to the spot where we said we'd meet
(while feeling myself sweating)

Saw him from about 20 feet away and gave a little smile

Mike: "Chelsea?"
Me: "HEY" (why did I just yell hey to him?!)
Mike: "It's so nice to finally meet you"
(as he goes to give me a handshake but then leans in for a hug..awkward)

Walk into the bar..
Don't know which way to go..
Around the corner?
Upstairs bar?

Me: "Should we try upstairs?"
Him: "Sure"

I go first
Then
People in front of me stop
So - Here we are..
On the stairs...
With my skinny jeans on....
My only thought : "He is definitely staring at my ass"

Finally find a seat..
Have a great time!

Good conversation
Few beers

Time to head home...

He gives me a ride back to my apartment.  
Total gentleman..opening doors and even walked me to my door.

Followed by a kiss
Eek, it's been over a year
since I kissed someone for the first time
But it was great

First date of my life... successful.
I would totally be up for a second date with this guy.

Phew!
