I need a couch in my office

So I just started dating again. Took a few month's hiatus because there were more important things to do and I didn't want the distraction. I decided also to stop dating people online. People can look great on paper, but then you meet and there's no connection. I'm sick of that. Now that I'm more confident I made the choice to only try to date people I meet in person. That way you get the opposite; you can see if you have initial chemistry and then see if you're actually compatible. If you have great chemistry, you'll be more willing to compromise, if you need to at all.

This led to a fantastic date earlier this week. Gorgeous, kind, smart, and a smart ass. All very important traits. It's nice, I have to admit, to feel nervous about someone again. Even when I was dating more regularly I rarely felt that way, but since I already knew I was attracted to her it made the date that much better. Now, however, is the period that seems to last forever: the anticipation of a second date. Waiting for a response, I wish I could just fall asleep and wake to a confirmation. Instead, I'm stuck at work with nothing else to think about.

There are plenty of things I should be thinking about, yet there is only the one. This is a good thing, I think. Even if nothing comes of it, it is good to be reminded that these feelings can exist.
