Tonight was very interesting, and differant. I went out for my date, and it turned out well. I didn't really want to go, and thought about just not showing up, but my conscience wouldn't let me. I thought of how I would feel after taking the time to go out in the cold, only to have someone not show. After all, this lady had no idea of who I was, but she took the time to set up a time to meet me. I couldn't do that. I know what it's like to be lonely, and something like that could really hurt someone's feelings badly. It would to me. Anyway, the bus ride was very long, and way out in Waterloo. I misjudged it by a long shot. Still not used to traveling around here. Anyway, I got there and spoted her right off. She was the only single lady there. She had told me she was fifty eight, so it was easy. She was pleasantly plump, and kinda overly done up. She looked nice, but had a Eurapean look about her. She had huge bleach blond hair, and well masquraed eye brows. She kinda looked like someones well kept mother, or grandmother. Anyway, I sat down and said hello. She was very pleasant and well manured. I found her easy to talk to. We just talked about Kitchener, our families, a bit about past things with family. She was well dressed, and wore a cross. I decided that I would avoid, this time, talk concernig recovery, or my drug and alcohol use. It wasn't necessary, and I knew this had no potential of comming anywhere close to relationship. I found her very freindly. We talked for a good two hours. It was very differant, and I enjoyed it. I did talk a little about some things, but kept anything too personal to a minimum. It was differant because there seemed no pressure to impress or anything. We just talked of ourselves, our work, growing up, and our families. I thought of how it was differant from meeting Cathy. With Cathy I felt a sense that something was off, right from the begining, which I had thought was just me. I have to get back to this. Anyway, went well. She drove me home. No kisses or anything, but we did decide that we would only see each other for freindship, which is perfect. Neither one of us wanted a relationship, and we were both alright with it. She was just a pleasant person looking for someone to share some fun times with. Kinda what I originally started out with.
