Hey Guys!!!!
It is so nice to know that you were all thinking about me and wishing me good thoughts. I wasn't trying to prolong my detail sharing, but I had a busy day today, and couldn't get on the internet until now.
OK date recap!!!
Met at his place at about 6:30 then he drove. We went to this mini golf/go cart/arcade/batting cage place in Stuart. This is about an hour drive south on 95 for us
Played mini golf first. I even have a wound to show how well the date went!! HaHa. Hard to describe the theming of the mini golf place, but there were old ship wrecked boats and a waterfall. Well one of the holes was in a large cave. It was actually a very hard shot, par 4, the cave completely made a sharp corner so you couldn't see the end hole from where you started hitting. I hit first and was standing off to a corner in the cave out of the way of his shot...or so I thought. Somehow his ball hit my ball with such force that it actually launched my ball up into the air and it came flying at me!! I turned to jump out of the way (the normal response I think when a golf ball is flying through the air at you!!) forgetting I was in the corner of a cave, and smashed my arm into the wall. My forearm got completely scrapped up, enough to draw blood! This hole was also my downfall in the game I think...probably my wound!!
I had to take 6 on this shot, which ended up allowing him to win the game (well maybe that and his two VERY luck holes-in-one!). The par was 51. He got 52 and I got 55.
After mini golf we got some tokens and played some arcade stuff. A couple games of air hockey (tied), some skiball, and a few things to win tickets. We only came away with 35 tickets , which wasn't enough for anything interesting in the prize section, but the woman working there was sweet and let me pick from the section of prizes up to 100 tickets (these were still small little trinkets) I don't know how to explain this very well if you have never seen them, but it is a rubber half circle and you turn it inside out and place it on a table or something and it pops up. Well he suggested I get that so I asked the wman for that and she gave me 2!! So I got 150 tickets worth of prizes for only 35 tickets!!
The place was closing at 9pm, and although he wanted to ride the go-carts we didn't have time. So we took our prizes out into the parking lot and spent about 20 mins playing with them, bouncing them off of his car and tossing them into the air. It was very cute! Then we decided we were going to get dinner, but neither of us really knew this area, so he went back into the place and asked the workers where to find restaurants. We finally ended up back at US1, and to cut a long story short, drove around until about 9:50 when we finally ended up at the Jensen Beach mall area and had dinner at Chili's (just about the only thing interesting that would still seat us...we had tried to go to Olive Garden, but that didn't work). Had dinner and then drove home. He is doing a ton of remodeling at his place so he invited me in to show me some of it. We chatted for a bit and I left to go home at about 12:45.
The DATE (it most definitely was a date) was so nice. I had a great time. We had a ton of fun, and were laughing and joking the whole time. I was definitely curious if there would be a first kiss at the end...but alas there was none...perhaps this is good. Don't need to rush into anything at all, I am VERY comfortable taking my time. I attribute the lack of kiss to his inherent shyness, which is very cute to me actually. I definitely do know that he must anticipate, or at least hope that we will continue to be getting together. I gather this information from his cat actually!!
His cat is the biggest scaredy cat in the world I think. She gets scared of the doorbell and then runs and hides, so in the 2 times I have come over, I still hadn't seen her. Well she hides under his bed, so during the tour of the remodelling stuff we peaked under the bed so I could actually see her. Anyways, he made the comment that as she got used to me she would be less scared. I said she could never get used to me if I never saw her. He said well after you have came over a few more times she will start to poke her head around the bedroom door, then she will start to creep out into the living room, and soon she will be comfortable with you
kids got no sense of humor, I would have.... (J/K) he was playing in the little tots area in like 3 feet of water!
I have been a few times since I got out of school (even been as far back as late 60's, early 70's) but it just can't compare to Disney. (I haven't been to IOA yet) But since you have tickets and are so close (compared to Alaska)- go check it out. Get your free beer too.
