~ Date no. 2 ~



I had another great date with the Aquarius law student. He picked me up (very punctually) in his lovely car, opened the door, had a sunflower sitting on my seat, and took me to a really nice restaurant for breakfast. Weird coincidence that it was a different location of the same restaurant that my ex took me to for our first date. Thoughtful, impressive, very nice. This guy held the umbrella for me, made sure I didn't get wet getting out of the car, bought a fruit just so I could try it, and gave me a book to read. Then he gave me a ride home.

He's lovely. Very thoughtful, and sweet. And smart, and interesting and entertaining. He flatters me, he's honest...and I really like him. I get nervous with him... mostly because I know he really likes me and I'm scared about what that means. I think he could get hurt by someone like me. It's easy to like someone who has one foot out the door... at least, it's easy for me to like someone like that. You're always on your toes a little bit, which can have an appeal.

I like that he has the cash for us to go out and do stuff... I don't know how I feel about the fact that I like that about him. He and I are really similar in a lot of ways though, the way we think, and *what* we think about. The thing is though, looking at his life, I know he must be lonely. His parents aren't close, he's an only-child, he moved a lot as a kid, and I think his job and lifestyle isolates him. That's the type of person that gets attached to someone like me.

And I think the question of the physical comes into play. He's cute but quirky looking.

I think I intimidate him, a little bit. And he's not the type to get intimidated... but, I'm not the type to budge my personality for someone else, which means, usually, the other person ends up budging for me. Which isn't good...

I don't know... I really like his company, and his mind, and that he's well-read and informed, and thinks and has the same humour. But I know that I'll have my eyes roving with this person.

Because I always do. I just don't want to commit to anyone emotionally unless they won't commit to me.

I don't know what to think about this. I really like him, but I'm almost ready to run so he won't get attached. Or does that mean that I don't want to get attached? And do I really need to think about this right now, at date 2 when we're both very busy people?
