I met a really awesome guy. Miraculously awesome. We went out on a date We just talked and talked for 11 hours. There was no yadda yadda but a little smoochie smoochie. After he left I took the dog outside and saw a shooting star.
I don’t want to jinx it, but I’m bursting at the seams. I had to tell someone, so I told you.
Let’s hope that the other shoe never drops!
Cool. Good luck to you!
Oops. Sorry!
Gotta love that feeling. Congrats ZipperJJ
Word to the wise: take it slow. But I’m happy for you!
Aww! So happy to hear it. Good luck!
Good luck! I hope it works out for you.
YAAAAY! Good for you!
Dork 
As for taking it slow, I hear that. We sort of have no choice actually because we both have busy schedules. That is actually another thing I like about him, because in the past I’ve dated deadbeats who took up too much of my time.
Seems like the waiting is the hardest part!
Congratulations on a great date! I know just how you’re feeling … I felt the same way after my first date with my now-husband. This was before I had discovered the internet, so I just HAD to call my one friend who was a night owl and ramble on and on. 
for you!
But can’t we quote you on this months from now when you’re happily chatting about this guy?
Congrats and good luck! Have fun!
Congrats! May rain never fall on your parade.

Well, recalling my younger days, waiting is what made my parts the hardest.
That’s great ZipperJJ! I hope it all goes just where you want.
That’s funny. One of my buddies called me the other night to tell me about this date he went on. He said the girl talked his ear off for like 11 hours and didn’t even put out!
I never found out what happened after that though. Turns out he was killed by a meteor.
Nah, msmith, couldn’t have been my dude. I went over a long list of “dealbreakers” with him and “being friends with msmith537” was like #17. He was clear 
Grats and good luck!
Phooey. I got a bit of a “Dear John” letter already.
As with the last guy I was in to, I was up front about not wanting to have kids in the future. Previously he had not considered the idea but on Sunday he gave it some thought.
Says he wants kids, thanks for being honest and let’s stop it before it gets too far.
I did write a response (I didn’t get the email until this afternoon, I’d missed it!) to state my case, see what we can work out, etc. But the prognosis probably won’t be good.
Ah well. Being honest sucks big time. I think next time I’ll need to learn to be a lying manipulative bitch.
So was I. So was she. 13 years later we’re still happily married and happily childless.
Don’t worry; we’re out there.
Take it on faith, and take it to the heart!
Congrats!
Hey, Zipper, this married old fart is rootin’ for you big time! My wife and I met at a party neither of us was supposed to attend, went to get coffee neither of us drank and decided to get married after only two “dates”. We were crazy in love the moment we met and broke all the rules about “sensible” dating. We’re still crazy in love after 35 years. Go for it, kiddo!
Uh, yeah, but I guess “slow” is what you kids do these days. So go slow, but go.
