Second First Date in 6 years...

Second-first-date (SFD) guy called me on Tuesday (I hate when they wait the 3 days, but he only waited 2). We talked and joked for a bit and then decided on meeting at Natt Spill for a drink. It's a nice, quiet local place - a nice chance to talk and catch up. I got there a bit early to start on my drink and calm my nerves. 

He walked in and we instantly were chatting and talking a lot. We got along really well :) Again, we reviewed what we have been doing the last years, and he proceeded to tell me that he is currently in the process of building and opening a bar this July! Pretty impressive. As we chat more, I come to find out that the young professional networking group I am on the social committee for is having our happy hour there in August! Small world right?

It's a very construction zoned place right now, but it was pretty cool to hang out there and hear him talk about it. The owners of two other bars nearby saw the window shades open, brought over beers and we ended up hanging out and talking for a while. It was a good time, and I had a lot of fun! Eventually, he took me back to my car and I got home into bed (past my bedtime). 

We have plans to go out again next week :)

Second First Date

We were out boating memorial day weekend on a Sunday. It was an all day event and it was super fun! We were on a pontoon and then met up with other friends, tied our boats together and hung out in the bay all day. We tried to get in the water but it was SO cold that we could only stay in a couple minutes before freezing! It was nice to cool off though, as it was real hot that day. 

After a while, about 5pm, we decided to go to a house party on Lake Mendota. At first I wasn't really having it, but what else were we going to do? We got there, and there were people everywhere in swimsuits! So fun, casual and people just there to have a good time on a good day. As we were walking off the pier, I noticed this guy in the water peeing and cooling off (weird combo I know) in his boxers! He had seaweed all over him too - I told him this and also complimented his monkey boxers but thought he might want to cover up! We went up to say hello to the house owner, but didn't stay long in there as it was stuffy as all get out. I also didn't want to play the drinking games on the lawn with others, just not in the mood for that. So we ended up going back out on the pier to hang out. 

We were doing introductions with some people and a guy came up to me and introduced himself (of course it was monkey boxers guy!).

"Hi I'm Peter." Reaching out his hand to me. 

I looked at him and said "Hi, I'm Lindsey...and we went out on a date 6 years ago!" 

He kind of laughed and said "take off your sunglasses!"

I took them off, he remembered and we caught up for a while. After joking around for a bit, not remembering how we first met, he laughed and said "Haha, well I think we should go out for drinks again!"

I totally thought he was joking and kind of laughed it off.

He looks at me "you think I'm kidding don't you?" 

"Well...yeah..."

"Nope, let's go out for a drink sometime...if that's cool."

I was pretty surprised, but since I'm in my 30s life motto WHY NOT? I gave him my number! I also remember telling him I didn't remember him being this outgoing and funny 6 years ago (probly not the nicest thing to say), and he smiled and said that things change in 6 years. 

We'll see how it goes, but I am kind of excited...he's a good guy :)
