Dates. The fruit??

I recently went out on a date. Because of my celibacy I have let everyone interested know that I’m only down to do platonic activities. I was asked to the museum by a friend in a casual conversation, so I thought nothing of it. A week before the day we were set to go to the immersive art museum he made it clear that he’s interested in more than friendship. I’m not gonna lie, I’m good at telling people like me but if feels awkward so I avoid it. There was no more avoiding that one. 

The date itself was fun. We were in the museum for about two hours and spoke for 30 mins afterwards before he offered to take me to my place. Due to past trauma with a guy I was with I just don’t let anyone know where I live, so that was a no. He got me as far as the train.

Something that caught me off guard is that he is very much the type of guy the spoil girlies talk about personality wise. He paid for everything, wanted to pick me up and take me to the house, made a reservation for a restaurant, and bought me a chocolate gift along with a riddle note. Golden retriever energy. I didn’t even think dinner was gonna happen. I made sure to eat WELL before leaving and felt embarrassed that I didn’t know dinner was after. 

I had fun. I have more dates out soon. But each is a learning experience.

I truly once thought I wasn’t deserving of someone taking care of me monetarily or even physically. I’ve been the care taker in my past and have seen no issue with it. But it’s nice to relax and enjoy too. Thank you dude
