Butterflies

Day: 13
Dates Remaining: 34

Butterflies. Yes, they are those beautiful multi-coloured creatures that flutter around all summer. However, butterflies are also something else; something far more intense and overwhelming than our airborne friends.

These other butterflies occur in stomachs and cause breathing to stop due to an overpowering and glorious feeling. To me, these butterflies are a good thing and usually occur for one of two reasons: I’m flying down a steep hill on a rollercoaster or I’m attracted to someone.

And how could I not be attracted to my wonderful date today? That’s it, TBD (read previous blog entry) now has to be known as Butterflies.

I’m stoked to tell you that Butterflies picked me up today on his motorcycle. I’m not sure about how most ladies feel, but I think that riding on the back of a guy’s motorcycle has to be one of the sexiest things ever. We cruised down the streets with my arms wrapped around him and my long blonde hair flying in the wind. I even got to wear the authentic, leather motorcycle jacket. What more could a girl ask for?

I’m not going to lie, I was a little confused when we ended up back at his house. I couldn’t figure out what he was up to but then he told me that he had forgotten his wallet. Smooth. We laughed at how that would have been a great story if he had actually forgotten it altogether. It would have been even funnier if we had both forgotten money and the bill arrived. Luckily, that didn’t happen. He grabbed his wallet and we were on our way.

As we rode down the street, Butterflies put his hand on my leg. I almost died. This sent earth shattering shivers down my spine and I wished that I could have frozen the moment so it could have lasted a little longer.

Brunch was great. He chose a lovely spot and we a fabulous time chatting. I feel that we had great conversations, no awkward moments, and an overall wonderful date.

We cruised back to my place where Butterflies gave me a kiss on the cheek before we parted ways. Just thinking about it causes my heart to skip a beat. I feel like I’m in grade 3 again. What on earth is wrong with me?

But, nothing is perfect and Butterflies made reference to our slightly significant age difference on more than one occasion today. I’m not too fussed by age but perhaps it concerns him? Will that disqualify me for a second date? Maybe, due to the blog, this is all a joke to him? Ah, the mysteries of dating; always keeping me on my toes.
