Figuring him out

I know, this update is about 2 days late. I've actually been busy with real work (amazing I know!). Trust me when I say, I'm not complaining!

So, Tuesday night I saw Boston boy again (that's what my friends have started calling him). When we planning the date, he suggested I just come over there and hang out, have some wine, watch a movie, etc. I will admit, I was slightly nervous about the whole thing. Not that I didn't feel comfortable around him, but that's a lot of pressure for a second date. If the conversation isn't flowing, there is little to distract us. It's intense. But, I went. I will also admit, I was looking forward to checking out his living situation. That's tells a lot about someone!

Right now he's living in a apartment (he wants me to help him find a house ASAP). The apartment is small but well appointed and VERY VERY clean (even the bathroom!). It's also very well decorated. I asked if he did it himself and he said yes, he loves to do that kind of stuff. Surprising because he doesn't come off as being that type of guy. He is also a collector of fabulous, one of kind art pieces. Suffice to say, I'm a little intimidated to have him over to my place! I was so happy to see he doesn't live like a a freaking 21 year old (that was one of my huge grips about Manhattan boy...he lived like he was still in college). Nope, Boston boy owns real, grown up furniture and all! :)

So the actual conversation/date review: It went really well. Conversation flowed easily. I was completely comfortable just hanging on the couch with him and relaxing. He asked several times if I wanted to go out and get drinks for a while since this was odd for a second date. I did just fine though. We talked about our families (found out his parents also recently relocated to Overland Park), sports, politics,and other random things. And, he's quite the talented kisser. ;)

I'm very cautiously optimistic about him. It'll definitely take hanging out with him a little more to 'figure him out'. I'm still trying to decide if he's looking for a real relationship or just a casual thing. It's hard to tell after only 2 dates. We are supposed to go out again tonight though. We'll see what happens!
