5th Date w/ Mr. Sporting Goods

After getting into a panic attack from not being asked out by Mr. Sporting Goods more than 5 days after our last date, he finally texts to ask me out for Thursday. Although there has been communication in those 5 days, I feel like I went through a transformation. I am falling hard for SG and I need to pull back, because it is not good to have someone affect me like this. So, going into our 5th date, my mindset is to 1) control the situation, 2) gain back the power and 3) not sleep with him. I also wear my tightest and shortest little black dress with high heel boots. I suggest a place to meet and I show up early so it would throw him off a little bit (since he's always the one waiting for me). SG shows up and seems tired from a long day's work, but also happy to see me. As we're catching up, I notice him blatantly checking me out. In our first few minutes of silence, he turns to me and says, "You look good." Ah, the outfit works like a charm every time. I am thrilled on the inside but I keep my cool on the outside with the response, "Oh, I had a dinner thing earlier." SG looks disappointed and says, "So, it wasn't for me." For the next 4 hours, we have some of the best conversation I've ever had on a date. Not only are we feeding off of each other's energy, SG is giving me his undivided attention. It's like we're the only 2 people at the bar. Throughout the night, SG is putting his hands on my legs and periodically holding my hand. SG usually doesn't display PDA like this so I am milking every minute of it. I feel like I'm on my A game and it is the first time I am fully confident that SG is into me. My feelings are then validated when SG asks me to go on a group ski trip with him. I am ecstatic and gladly accept. We close down the bar and the rest is a little fuzzy. I can recall us getting into a cab and SG holding my hand down my block. I tell him that he can't come up and we make out for a long time. He insists on walking me up to my door and in the process, finds Mardi Gras beads randomly and puts them on me. We make out some more in front of my door and I tell him that I want to see him soon. He immediately responds with, "How about tomorrow?" I get to see SG two days in a row? My heart jumps for joy and we kiss good night, for the millionth time.

Best. night. ever.
