Great second date (Saturday)

Really great actually, which led quickly to a third date last night. This guy could potentially be a keeper...we'll see about the future. He has been a complete gentleman (as have I), yet more than appropriately affectionate. He told me that if he feels that spark with someone, he holds back on his inner horn dog. I pretty much wanted to throw him on the bed immediately after that. Of course, that does not mean he does not have sex on the brain, which thankfully I learned yesterday afternoon. One can only go with blue balls for so many days (I know, I know....TMI).

I told my coworker this morning that I cannot, and will not, swim too far ahead in the dating pool. Everything must be kept in perspective and emotions in check. Just because this is the first guy in a long time who I would like to see more than once a week, does not mean that I am not going to try my hardest to not put any serious pressure on either one of us. God, how does one actually do that? I mean, I am gay, and along with that inevitably comes some emotional drama. Wow, it has been SO long since I went on a date (let alone more than one) with a guy who I may actually like.

In the end it will probably turn disastrous (always a pessimist here), but for the first time in a long time, I am ready to swim out of the shallow end of the pool and do a couple of laps. Bring it on!
