I'm so excited and terrified at the same time! I went out with a guy on Saturday night...and Monday night...and last night. He's called me every day since Saturday...and we email a couple times a day. He asked me out this Saturday- he wants to go to a super nice restaurant and made reservations.

As I'm writing this, it sounds so silly that I'm so surprised...but I have dated a whole bunch of players over the last four years or so and this actually feels really weird to have a guy be doing the right things. How do you get over the feeling that you don't deserve it?

He makes me laugh, he laughs at my jokes, he kisses like a rock star, and is so cute I just can't stand it. He hasn't even gone up my shirt yet!

At my heaviest, I found it easiest to date guys from large people personals. He's the first guy that I've dated in YEARS that I didn't find on one of those sites- he's from Match.com, actually. When I've dated a guy who I know likes big girls...I don't get nervous about getting naked. I tell my friends, "Ah, he knows his way around the back fat pretty well". Well, this guy didn't put that he was looking for a bigger girl in his profile so I'm so nervous but I've discovered that he knows his way around the back fat, too...so it's killing me to know if he's dated other bigger girls. I'm trying so hard to just sit back and not over analyze everything but it's so hard!

I haven't told him about the band yet. I'm nervous about that, but he is such a nice, non judgemental guy I think it will be ok. If it isn't, then he's not the guy for me I guess. I have to tell him soon or it will drive me crazy.

So..that's my excitement. Any tips on how to not over analyze and just enjoy it all?

Megan

Thanks everyone. What a great place to share good news.

...and yes Alexandra- the bad guys leave an impression. Hopefully time will help me figure all of this out.

Lisa!

No, I haven't named it yet...any more suggestions?

Btw- things are fantastic in that arena. Let's just say he isn't at all selfish. :-)

Megan

"my little friend"...

"George" here, and that's a capital "G"

How 'bout Henry, Peter, Sam, Harold, Ivan, uh...Mr. Ripley, as in talented?

I am dying over here. I am so incredibly thrilled for you. I met my John on the internet. Been together for almost 7 years now.

I want details on the XXXX part. I need to live vicariously through youth. LOL!!

Call it Mr. Willy.

Megan, I've been dying to use that line that Carrie uses in Sex in the City, where she says all sexy and long & drawn out, "Helllooooo, Luvverrrrr." You should try that on him.

Mr. Slippery? Kramer? Rafael? Mr. Potato Head?

I just discovered Sex and the City (ok, I was living under a rock) and I LOVE it. I like to watch an episode or two every night before I go to bed. I should try that on him...he would think it was funny. He is very fun..if you know what I mean.

Kathy- I like Mr. Ripley the best so far. And your George needs a capital G, huh :-)

M

I am suprised at how many people have met their loved ones from dating services. Thats neat.

I wish the best for you Megan.. Sounds Amazing!!!

Mr. Happy :pirate

[hijack] Lisa, HI!! Nice to see you!! [/hijack]

Thanks Alex it's good to be back here reading and catching up on everyone =)

Hey Megan, anything new to share about this new mistery man of yours?

MEGAN!!!!

Tell us about meeting his roommates, etc. This is better than any Sandra Brown novels I've got lying around the house.

Happy Easter everyone!

HE HAS MONO!

The poor guy is so sick..he has been sleeping for twenty hours a day and has to go to the doctor today to have more blood drawn and if his white blood count isn't up today they'll hook him up to some IV's.

I've been kind of a wreck this past weekend...I guess I have a lot more baggage than I thought. Even though I intellectually know that he's really sick, I've felt like he was pulling away and I got so scared. I'm better now...nothing a night out on the town with one of my friends and a good therapy session can't cure. I am such an all or nothing, black and white person that I can jump to concusions really easily. My mind is like a crazy monkey jumping around. I can be such a control freak that I try to predict the future so I can get out quick if it looks like I'm going to get hurt.

I had two snickers candy bars yesterday. I wonder if I'm eating for emotional reasons? :-)

I have decided I just need to get busy doing other things and give him a chance to get better and to try to just chill the hell out.

Easier said than done, but I'm working on it and staying out of the candy aisles at the grocery store.

Megan

Maybe he needs you to go check in on him Megan ...after all He is sick ya know *grin*

Yayyyyyy!! I'm happy for you!! =D

TrishS, you made me want to go and watch Bambi!! hehe... that was my FAVORITE movie when I was a kid... I'd watch it every day!! lol...
