Maryland boy and I ended up getting together on Saturday night.  One of my friends who works in advertising had two extra tickets to a Heineken promotion party, so I decided to take him to that.  He met me outside my apartment and gave me a kiss as a hello, then we headed to the Hudson where the party was.  I was expecting an event of maybe 200 people… I was wrong.  It was being held in a warehouse space, that was decked out with a stage, gigantic bottom floor with about 10 bars sporadically placed, and a loft area with plasmas and plush couches.  We grabbed our first free round, then mingled with my friend and her coworkers.  After a while, we decided to venture to the loft space to see what was up there and ended up sitting down and just chatting for a while.  After about 45 minutes of conversing and kissing, we reconvened with the others.  I had work early the next day, and he had family festivities since his Dad was in town visiting, so we decided to head back around 1:00.  We held hands on the walk back (something I haven’t done in ages and forgot how nice it is), then ended up kissing on my doorstep.  Mentally contemplating as we were kissing, I finally decided to invite him up.  Thank goodness I had decided to clean earlier that day… we started making out almost immediately and continued to do so for about half an hour, then we just started talking.  I assumed that would be it, which I was fine with, but he resumed kissing me and started making more advances… we ended up messing around a little bit, then at around 3 he decided he should probably head home.  He asked when we could go out this week, but I was pretty busy with other obligations, plus I’m headed home (TX) tomorrow.  Yesterday, I made the decision to cancel my plans tonight (which was drinks/dinner with 4 fabulous gays)… he has to go back to school in two or three weeks, plus if I don’t see him tonight, I won’t until next Tuesday at least.  Not sure what’s on the agenda tonight, but I’m really excited to see him.  Am I seriously about to start dating someone?  Hmm… probably best I don’t get too ahead of myself, but for the record, I haven’t liked someone this much in quite some time.

Okay, time to pack for tomorrow then get ready for date #3.
