status update on date #2:
...FUCKING EXCELLENT!!
holy shit, did tonight go unbelievably well. we had an absolutely amazing time. we went out for korean bbq and then coffee, and we basically spent 6 hours together. we actually could have gone on even longer but she had work in the morning. the more we talked, the more we found out we have lots of things in common. she also recounted how she felt when we first met at the meet up. Apparently she wanted to get to know me a lot more, but time ran out. on the second meet up, she hoped that i would show up and exchange phone numbers (this is EXACTLY what was going on in my mind, btw). it was also a nice date in that we established some firm goals going forward, such as us both agreeing that while we're getting along great as two friends having a fun time hanging out, we would also definitely like to have sex with one another at some point. And if all that wasn't great enough, i also find out she's 29!
but alas, some things are indeed too good to be true. remember when i said that we had a lot in common? turns out that includes both of us living with our parents (though technically my mom is living with ME). as you can imagine, this is going to make some quality naked time very difficult. three of the best relationships i had got destroyed because of this issue (some much quicker than others), and i worry this may be the same case. fucking millenials.
but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. aside from that little/not-so-little speedbump, i absolutely adore everything about her, and she seems totally into me.
oh and to answer the question that's probably on everyone's mind: no, we did not smash. but that's perfectly fine. we still had an awesome time regardless.
we'll be meeting for date #3 some time in the next few days.
edit: oh AND she wears glasses!
