Do you like me or don't you? Just tell me so I can get over you.

So Vince, the guy I've gone on 6 dates with now. Let's recap them:

#1 June 22nd: Met at the Family Fun Center, played some games, putt putt golf, more games, then watched a movie at my place.

#2 June 26th: He picked me up and we went to dinner and then movie at my place.

#3 June 30th: He picked me up, disc golf, dinner (I paid), movie at my place.

#4 July 6th: He picked me up, walked along Alki, dinner, walked back, dropped me off.

#5 July 9th: He picked me up, dinner (I paid), walked around Cornucopia Days, movie at my place.

#6 July 10th: He picked me up, dinner, disc golf, and he just dropped me off.

I really like this guy for the most part. There are a few minor things that irk me, but nothing serious in my opinion. More on that later. When I can get him to talk, he seems intelligent and open minded. (He was pretty quiet at first and is still a little, but not as bad.) Pretty gentlemanly, opens doors, picks me up (all my life I've been the driver for EVERYTHING is seems), usually pays, hopped a fence for me (I threw the frisbee over it...lol). He has a job (that he's had for 10 years!!!), a car, a dog he loves and friends. There are a lot of pluses about this guy. I think he's cute, cuter than the pics he sent me. Has a cute smile and pretty brown eyes. More than once he's randomly leaned over and kissed me while at a stoplight. Also will put his arm around me when walking sometimes. Random little kisses during disc golf. So good guy! Oh yeah, I keep thinking of more things I like about him! Good kisser ;) and he wrote me several long emails. Hasn't tried to rush me into bed. Hasn't even gotten anywhere near that and I like it!

Here are the few things that are a little annoying: hasn't thanked me when I've bought dinner, I don't think he's ever complimented me (but it's still early), not always great at getting back to my texts (SO MINOR), never asks me how my day was even after I asked him or other basic questions like that, doesn't know if he sees this as a "long-term" thing (HUGE BUMMER), and I think that's it.

So I really, really like him! By far one of the top 5 nicest guys I've ever dated. Maybe top 3 but I don't want to try and think about that now.

I'm trying to play it cooler than I usually do. Because I have an addictive personality and if I like something I usually get all obsessed about it. I DON'T want to be that girl.

So that is all the details I can think of to share at this time. :)

This is why dating sucks. I wish I had advice for you, but as my dad said to me, do what's best for you.

If you are enjoying the time, then keep seeing him, but keep in mind that this might not go anywhere.

If it really starts to bug you then you might have to move on.

:( But remember YOU know what's best for YOU, so do what's best.

I know you are worried that it is not going anywhere right now, but it has only been six dates. That is a lot, but nobody can decide on forever after a few weeks. I know, I know, that is not what you are asking, but when you said you asked where this is going, he probably spazzed a bit. Just chill and enjoy him. I don't think it is going to slowly, I bet if you stop worrying you will just have a really great time and he will relax too. And Shane NEVER asks me how my day was, not even after I ask him about his, and we have been married over 5 years. Some guys just don't think about it...or sadly, think of it as a big deal. He probably figures if you have something to share about your day you will share without and invitation. I don't know if this is helpful, but he sounds great and I don't want you to worry yourself out of a good thing. :) LOVE YOU!!!
