Last nights date...
As usual we chose a movie that I would rate 5/10 at best! However we went to a burger place after, and then being in a small town where night life is a foreign word, drove back to her place and sat in the car for an hour or two talking. (Her house was a mess and she didn't want anyone to see it lol)
I was right, chemistry is definitely there, intellectually we fit and her interests gel with mine. She is easy to talk to and she understands my situation and current domestic arrangements. I can see that under her understandable caution there is a a fun and caring person. Last night we talked out some important baselines and both decided that while more time is needed, continuing to date each other is a good idea. In some ways her thought processes are remarkably similar to mine
So, xmas party next Saturday with my local transgender group. Once again, patience is key to the whole thing...
