D is for DTR
So apparently my anxiety was, as almost always, over the top. I went out with Dr. Movie on Tuesday night. I have now been out with him 6 times over the past three weeks. I’ve stayed over the last 4 of those times. His cousin is coming into town this weekend and I’m going to hang out with them together. Little Sister’s British Soldier boyfriend is getting into town tomorrow and...

A is for Anxiety
Have seen Dr. Movie again another few times…he cooked macaroni and cheese for me and I stayed over, and then Friday night we went out for pizza and I stayed over again. On paper it all seems to be going well, but I’m having some anxiety about the whole thing. First of all, I’m no good at dating. I hate this stage, where it seems like it’s heading in a relationship-y direction but it’s not...

T is for Third Date
Went out for drinks with Dr. Movie last night…had overpriced, albeit delicious, martinis downtown, and then we went back to his place. Suffice it to say that things went well there and he even cooked me breakfast (pancakes!) in the morning. I’m pretty sure I really like him and I think this could actually go somewhere. I am now at work for probably another several hours because I...

S is for Second Date
Had my second date with Dr. Movie earlier this week. We went bowling, at which I am terrible, so he got to see my less than gracious way of dealing with losing (I was actually not that bad because I did not think I had any shot at beating anyone at bowling). It went well, the conversation flowed pretty easily. There is definite chemistry there, too. I’m supposed to meet him for a drink...
