You get what you don't pay for

I had a fantastic date last night! I met "Chet" on myspace of all places. Nevermind that I just shelled out almost $100 for Match. Leave it to me to meet a great guy on the free site where I just threw a page up for the heck of it.

Chet wrote me a short email on Sunday saying he thought I was interesting. I wrote back a funny message referring to his profile photo, and email hi-jinks ensued. He is so funny! We have the same sense of humor. Lass calls him my mirror. We live about 5 minutes away from each other and frequent the same venues, yet we've never run into each other.

We went to my watering hole (where he knows a ton of people, by the way) and had a couple of beers. I was afraid the online chemistry wouldn't translate to in-person chemistry, but it totally did. We had a great conversation. We played music on the jukebox. He asked if I'd like to go out to dinner with him, and I said I'd love to. At the end of the night, he walked me to my car. He hugged me and then went in for a kiss. It was a very nice one. Not too much and not not-enough. I especially liked the way he just went for it. No timidity; it was very manly. I can't wait to see him again.
