I had a date!

I had a date last Friday night. I answered an ad this woman had on Craigslist. She wanted to go out to dinner with a "nice guy". She asked lots of questions to make sure I was a nice guy and then called me and asked the same questions. After finding out I really was a nice guy we made plans to go to Dave and Buster's for dinner then play some of the video games there. She sent me a picture and I sent one of me. She sent a picture of only her shoulders up so I figured she was a little chubby, like 300 pounds. When I met her I was pleasantly surprised to find out she was very attractive. We had a nice dinner and she held my hand as we walked around the video games. I remained a nice guy! We then walked around the mall and she bought some clothes and then I took her home. She is a single mom so we talked a lot about kids and stuff like that. Turns out she is from the Monterey area and so am I.

My mom lives in a town of 2000 people, and she used to live in the same town when she was married. We got along great. When I took her home I gave her a hug and she started crying because she missed her son, who was with his dad. I was touched. I was really happy about our date, but not sure how she thought of it. I texted her the next morning to say hi, and she returned my text. I texted her later, because I had to teach that day, and never heard from her again. I tried emailing her during the week and never heard back from her. Today I talked to her and she had thought I wasn't interested in her, because of the kid, and I thought she wasn't interested in me because of the silence. I will see her tomorrow. I don't know what will happen between us, but I'm glad we are talking to each other again. I was a little distraught all week because I thought I had done something wrong. I feel happy now.
