Yes, good luck! I bet you're glad you didn't wait 'til February to meet. I'm dealing with a similar situation: 5-6 hour drive, one-hour work commute, busy schedules. He wanted to fly here to meet the day before Christmas with a day of notice, but I had family plans. (uh yeh). Then we rescheduled for last weekend, but a last minute change in his work commitments derailed that plan. I'm keeping things open, but am figuring that if we don't meet within the next 3 weeks or so, nothing will develop.

I'm glad you made that initial meeting happen!

Details, details. Was there chemistry or what?! A chick that plays video games automatically moves up to the top of my want list, lol.

Alas, we're still waiting for the initial meeting! But in about five days he'll be on dry land again and we're making definite plans. I will be westward bound about a week or so thereafter. So not quite February, but almost.

Fingers crossed for both our meets!

Details, huh? Alright. Was there chemistry? I think so, although there was an awkward moment or two as well. I'm definitely into her, in fact, I've been spending a lot of time the last few days reminding myself why I'm so determined to take this slowly.

We met up at my hotel on Saturday afternoon and went for dinner. Conversation was good, but they seated us a little too close to the door, so we were both freezing. We bailed from there and decided to go grab her xbox and a game and go back to the hotel. We fragged a bunch of zombies (not really her genre, I discovered, but we had fun being bad at it) and then just relaxed and talked about ourselves and joked about the zombie ambiance from the game that we had left running in the background. She wasn't feeling well, and I encouraged her to go get some rest, but she ended up staying and feeling a bit better and we talked until about 2:30 at night.

Sunday we met for brunch, then went back to the hotel and played another game she had brought and chatted, then we went off to the dinner party that had been our excuse for meeting up in the first place. That was actually the only somewhat uncomfortable part of the weekend. She is admittedly uncomfortable in that environment, and since I didn't know anyone there, it was hard to be as social as I normally am. She mentioned several times that she wished we could leave (I did too!) but she was one of the coordinators of the event, so she had to stay the entire time. Ugh.

Finally got that done with, back to her apartment to get some DVDs she was lending me, back to the hotel room for another quick game or two, but we were both so exhausted that she left after just a half hour or so. Probably a good thing, because I was tired, and by this time I was feeling incredibly attracted to her, and when I'm tired I tend to let my tongue run a little looser than I should. So if she'd have stayed much longer I would have probably done something foolish like tell her just how much I already liked her, or tried to kiss her or something. Slow, remember? Right.

So all in all I felt it went really well. We spent a whole lot of time just talking, and she's witty, very much a free spirit type, but incredibly intelligent (dare I admit it? Perhaps even more intelligent than I) and spiritual. I think on paper we're a great match. Now just to see if we can work through the difficulties of dating long distance. I went into this having thought that out up front, and I've had LDR's in the past, so I'm willing to put in the work required, but I have no idea yet whether she's given it the same thought.

Hmm, this post went rather longer than I intended. Yeah, I'm a little smitten, but I'm also trying to be realistic.

I hope you have as good luck with yours as I did! It would certainly be nice to date nearer, but some of us just don't have the option, huh?
