Festivus for the rest of us………..

I’ve heard the comment that it seems a little bit early, but Saturday night (November 15th) was my company’s “Christmas” party. Like most large companies, they no longer call the event as a Christmas Party, they even refuse to call it a Holiday Party. This is out of respect for those people that don’t celebrate any holidays. I find that hilarious!! Anyway, we have an party and it is called The Winter Event.

I have no boyfriend right now and had no prospects for a date, so I was going to take my friend Jennifer. She used to work for the same company so it would have been nice for her to see some of her old co-workers. However, on Wednesday she was rushed into emergency surgery. Since there was no chance she was going to make it, and I was not up for going alone, I posted an ad on Craig’s List to find a date.

I was expecting a lot of responses based on the location of our party. Our Winter Event has been held at the same location for the past three years: Invesco Field at Mile High. I was right. Considering the amount of time it was up I did get quite a lot of responses. Some jackass flagged the post – I’m guessing it was in reaction to me turning him down. After reading through the replies, one stood out above the rest. I asked to meet him for drinks on Friday night, to test the waters and see if we could get along well enough to go to the party.

Drinks led to dinner, dinner led to a movie, a movie led to him walking me to my car and a kiss goodnight. It was a nice night. He was sweet and cute and funny. The next evening was the party. He dressed in a suit and looked really hot. I wore a little black dress and looked beautiful. The party was buffet dinner, gambling tables, karaoke, and dancing. We had a great time.

He asked me up to his apartment afterwords and I really wanted to, but I resisted. I like this guy. I’m not sure how much I do yet and that is wonderful. I see potential in him, he is a gentleman and has the right stats for me. For those of you that follow my blog, you must have noticed that I have been falling for men far too fast recently. Who knows, the next time I see him, I might jump into bed with him. And I’m ok with that. It’s not the physical side I am worried about taking too fast, it is the emotional side. I want to get to know him before I get gaga over the guy. I’m not going to let myself get attached so quickly anymore.
