I am starting to feel like life is on big interview. When I found myself starting over in Colorado I had to interview for jobs, housing, roommates... and there was always a big relief to get to Round 2. Lately this is how I feel about meeting people, friends, guys, it doesn't matter. I go out, meet people I don't know and I hope they love me for me. It is great to get that call back and it is a little rough when you don't.
Well I have made it to Round 2 with the Fisherman. I am excited for the second date. The first date was at a local sports bar during the Arizona basketball game. Let's just say he wasn't the loudest person I have ever talked to... I am excited to see where he decides to take me, what we talk about now that we both know we are kind of interested... I am trying to tread lightly, but not hold back.
At the end of my first date my friend's asked all these questions about him, past relationships, family, deep stuff that I don't want to answer on a first date, so I don't ask. All I really found out is he likes the Broncos, played football in college and well, likes to fish. That was all I needed to know. The fishing part of this guy really attracts me to him. I have always fished and I want to learn how to fly fish, which is what he does. I think someone that fishes has an appreciation for our environment, has patience and it reminds me of my dad and grandpa... and some of the best memories I have from my childhood. Anyone that can remind you of things that once made you happy, but you forgot about, gets a pass into Round 2.
