The rest is still unwritten

In case you've been wondering, I haven't been holding out on you about TK.

Since our date on Wednesday we've talked on the phone a few times. He called me on his way home from work on both Thursday and Friday. We made plans for this afternoon, which also happens to be his birthday.

We're meeting for lunch at a Thai restaurant and then we're going bowling. Bowling is not necessarily the most "romantic" thing to do on a date, but it's fun. So far I haven't been participating in too many activities on these dates - they've consisted of drinking, eating, and talking for the most part.

So it should be fun to go bowling. He made me promise that I won't beat him too badly.

I didn't want to do anything too dramatic for his birthday since it's only our third date. I opted to bake him brownies (which smell delicious btw) and give a cute card. The card says something like, "I hope you have a crazy birthday, but "fun" crazy, and not "the cat won't stop talking to me" crazy."

He has two cats, so I thought it fit.

I'm excited about today. Mostly I'm interested to see where things go.

Celebrating a birthday after just a few dates is not something I've done before. It adds a certain amount of "weight" to the day, because your birthday is the kind of day you want to spend with people who are important in your life. He had a celebration with his friends, family, and fraternal twin last night, so I feel better knowing that at least.

I realized last week that V-day is this week too...

So far one match guy (who I haven't met) emailed me to ask me what my plans are. I'm interested to see if TK mentions something today and also to see whether other match guys come out of the woodwork.

I've usually found myself in the camp with the rest of the people who end up resenting the day because it somehow manages to make you feel like crap regardless of your own rationalization about it being a Hallmark holiday. Last year I gave coffee guy a heart candy (that he never ate) and went out with the ladies. So as much as I hate to admit it, I hope I get some V-day attention this year.

I watch too many romantic comedies not to...
