Round (date?) #3 today. So we hung out at a farmer's market and then took a bit of a walk through the city. It didn't feel like 5 hours but it also didn't feel nearly long enough. She bought some fruit and veggies then we decided to get some nice wine, cheese and bread at the ferry building and it was all quite good. We're still taking things slow which is fine although I really want to kiss her quite badly. I was thinking today that I can't remember ever going more than 3 dates before sleeping with someone....I'm not complaining that it's going slow because I don't want to rush her into something that would just cause tension, I'm just really attracted to her physically and I equally enjoy her company. She told me the other day that she likes me and is even attracted to me which I actually found a bit surprising. I guess I feel a bit apprehensive about moving in to kiss her because of the whole "take it slow" thing...it's just going to get harder to resist. I guess I just have to feel confident that I'll know when the right moment is and that trusting my instincts is the right thing to do. I'm not sure when I'll see her next so the wait is going to be tough.
She also just got a new job and I had the idea of getting her something for her desk as a decoration. At first I didn't have a clue....I wanted to tie it in with something we've talked about and something she enjoys and yet make it also something she'd probably never buy for herself (one of my theories are presents is that often what makes the best presents are things you like but wouldn't buy for yourself). So I was thinking that she has a transformers t-shirt that she wears a lot and then I tied that in with her love of mix-tapes (I made her a mix tape, well cd for our first meeting although I forgot it in my jacket but I did give it to her the second time) so I bought her a reissue of the old Transformer Soundwave, the guy that transforms into a tape player. If nothing else every guy she knows will think it's cool. I didn't want to go romantic or mushy just yet. I've realized that I've been really inconsiderate when it comes to gifts and just general thoughtfulness in my past relationships and I'm trying to get better with that. I think it's a good idea and a nice novel gift...hopefully she'll actually use it to decorate her desk. It won't arrive for a week so I'll have to wait for the reaction.
