adventures in internet dating...
last night i went on a first date with someone i met online.
she was funny and intelligent and interesting... and beautiful. the type of beautiful you grow up to next door or down the street as a kid. the girl that you had a crush on since you were 7 or 8 or 9. genuine. unadulterated. comforting but yet not comfortable. still plenty of unknown which is enough to keep that crush going on long after you or she moves away. and enough to keep the imagination roiling into adulthood.
we said goodbye for the night with an awkward hug that lasted a second longer than i expected. but in that second i realized how long it had been since i'd felt that feeling of familiarity.
and there she was in my arms.
i'm smitten.
