go out with me on a second date! :-)

Our first date was before Thanksgiving... Christmas trips... yadayadayada... We agreed kind of tentatively to get together this weekend. I e-mailed (she works Friday nights) I called this morning, left a message... While I was crafting the "It was nice to meet you but I don't believe I made as strong an impression on you as you did on me" e-mail in my head she called.

Then she arranged child care and called back after a few minutes and confirmed for dinner for this evening.

Just finished cleaning the car, going to the cash cow and now have a couple hours left to get handsome...

(So you guys can excuse me for my cranky posts today... I am happy again!)

My gut feeling is to stop by the store on the way to picking her up and get a rose for her... unless anyone can give me a real good reason not to in the next hour and a half????

(I really wasn't sure if DLion was serious about not knowing what a cash cow was... I guess it might be a local term?)

For a much delayed second date?

Uhhh, that's a pretty risky move.

Far more likely to be interpreted as too soon, then truly appreciated. Up to you, but it's definitely not the safe way to go.

I'm with Shoop. Do it if you're burning with the desire to express your romantic feelings, but know that you're taking a risk. Second date is, in my books, too soon for flowers.

Well I found myself getting to the restaurant only 5 minutes early instead of 15 so I skipped the rose.

The conversation didn't miss a beat and no awkward moments. Imagine a parent of a 5 year old girl having something to talk about with the parent of a 3 year old girl and 5 year old boy. Of course we didn't just talk about children but everything. I am sure we could have made the conversation last a couple more hours easily. I had a great time and I am pretty confident she did also. I had a really good feeling about this lady when I first read her profile. I am glad I waited and didn't give up. The almost two month wait was frustrating but unavoidable.

She did change plans to meet me at the restaurant at the last minute instead of me picking her up. She had limited baby sitting time and wanted to make the most of it. When you are a parent there is a certain amount of rolling with the punches.

Thank you for the replies!

That sounds wonderful, Mike! I hope it continues just as well over the next few dates and beyond. And by the way, if you have a 3rd date that is just as great, I'd say go for the rose on the 4th date. Three good dates counts as a trend, right?

Good luck! We're happy for you!
