It's not like we hadn't met before but the first night was tenuous. There was a flurry of prep on my part (and a little distraction) in getting the environment just right for this meeting. Was everything comfortable? Did I have the right music to set the mood? The music was easily a distraction... yet putting the tracks together provided some comfort, calm and a little more confidence to face what could be ahead.

Finally, the moment came. There was excitement mixed in with the fear of possible rejection. No matter how many times I do this... that feeling never goes away. Even though I had chosen the time I still felt unprepared. Yet, here it was... the only thing to do was forge ahead.

It was like a slow tango as we circled each other like animals at a first meeting. There was a certain formality to the proceedings... yet a certain comfort of farmiliarity was undoubtedly present in the tet-a-tat. I wasn't going to push it with a big move. Things have changed over a year and both of us had been through a lot. What was (or at least where I thought it would go) a year ago may take a whole new and different direction... and I had to be open for that. It ended pleasantly just after midnight.

But the fundamental question was answered... we do like each other. That's something to build on at least. Now just to determine the right time of the day when we'll be best together and for each other. So, we're going to give it a go this morning. (This could affect my blogging and surfing schedule.)

Yeah, starting this write was like a first date with someone I've admired from afar for a while.
