Saturday's with Stef: A first date......

12:27 AM


Dating. Such a foreign word and concept to me.
In fact, I have never been asked out FORMALLY...Up until this week.

Thursday night I went on my FIRST official date. I am not going into details, for I don't kiss and tell. But I will tell you, I came home smiling.

I think about how far I have come. I remember last year, I was crying and crying over the ex. Today, I am free from the chains of that relationship and his addiction. POINT IS: I AM FREE.

I actually was VERY nervous. So many questions went through my head.

"What if he doesn't like me?"

"What if conversations runs out?"

Lots of "What if's....."' in my head.

I don't know if there will be a second date. However in my personal opinion, not to toot my own horn, but he'd be one lucky guy if you ask me!

Okay I tooted it...TOOT! TOOT!

It felt so good to laugh, smile and have a conversation.

It felt so good to finally say "YES" to a guy who a is talented, smart, and not to mention CUTE.

Anyways, I came home and thought of what life will be like a year from now.

It made me excited.

Scared.

EXCITED!

I know I so badly want a family, but honestly, I look at girls who pop out kids left and right and have babies with men they even haven't dated a year, and I am thankful I am waiting until I find that one guy who I am definitely sure that I am sure about. Does that make sense? I get it, men can change...but I like to think God has someone REALLY special for me. Someone who will want me until death-do-us part. The one man who makes all the other men look like scum that gross at the bottom of the sea.

Do I make sense at all?

Anyways...Point is. I went on a date. I put myself out there. I opened up. I took a risk....

I am glad I did.

It made me feel fearless.

It made me thankful that all those times I have given up on myself, I didn't.

I think I may say "Yes" more....

*Crosses fingers for a second date*

Until then...

I vow to live my life with open arms, an open mind, an open heat, open options, and an open soul...
