Katie was wonderful last night. A definite “best for last” ending event to a long, hectic day. I called her and asked her out for coffee two Sundays ago… She was home in Greensboro for spring break all last week, and finally returned my call Monday night, so we went out last night for about an hour at Borders. I got there a little early, so I had already staked out a spot in the “coffee area” and gotten some hot chocolate and a magazine. She arrived on time and sat down and immediately started talking. The conversation I think was pretty evenly balanced, and we hit it off quite well, at least from this end. She didn’t seem apprehensive, but it was almost like she never really relaxed to any degree… She came in with her purse, sat down, and that was that and seemed thoroughly keyed-up the whole time. But maybe that’s just how she is. The funny thing was, though, is that I almost relaxed more because of it. I’m fairly laid-back in general, and I found it very easy for this manner to be a counterpoint to her almost more energetic conversation. ‘Twas interesting.<\/p>\n
In any case, I was impressed. She’s sharp as a tack, funny, intelligent, organized, and motivated. Gosh that sounds like a job interview. But she’s very pretty as well–at least I think so. And she has the best smile. She’s a little on the short side (5’6 or 5’7 maybe), but I see definite relationship possibilities in the future, assuming she reciprocates my growing sentiments. Now the question is where do I go from here… I’m thinking: Talk to her at church on Sunday, and ask her out to lunch sometime next week, and try to work in something at some point about doing something with friends. That would be key as well. I don’t want to scare her away in the least.<\/p>\n
I’m so overanalytical. Conversation was great… She is… wonderful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=623"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2232,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623\/revisions\/2232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
