RJ Gators

so my bff, lindsey, nicknames every guy that i talk to or go on a date with, which is awesome, so sunday night's date got the nick name of RJ Gators (which used to be a restaurant we went to in high school a lot).  the restaurant was in gastonia, but i think it is closed now.  the guy's name is RJ, so that is what his nickname is.  bless her for trying to keep up with all of them, she tries really hard, not as easy task, ha. 

so, we talked once before we decided to meet, and i will preface by saying, that this date, isn't a horrible experience, he was actually normal.  we met up at firebirds.  we had to wait an hour for dinner (who knew on a sunday night it would be so crowded), but it gave us more time to talk.  he works for nascar, so thankful my family members are huge nascar fans, as i wasn't totally lost in this part of the convo, haha.  conversation flowed for the most part, although we all know i have no problem talking and can talk to a sign post, most of the time.  i had told him on friday when we talked that i was going to dinner and a movie with my two best friends on saturday night, so he asked how safe haven was, unfortnately due to the blizzard like conditions we received saturday night our plans were cancelled.  i told him we didn't get to see it.  i had told lindsey prior to the date, that if it went well, maybe he and i could go see it.  so, the date went well, and we did go see it.  in retrospect, probably shouldn't have gone to see such a romantic movie on a first date, but you live and you learn. nothing crazy, just super romantic and it was a first date, haha.

my only caution flags are that he has been married and the reason for the divorce was that they both had super successful careers and traveled a lot.  she got a huge promotion and was transferred to atlanta and neither was willing to sacrifice their career, so they amlicably split.  they are still friends, what???  in addition, he still sees her sister's kids some, as they were his niece and nephew at one point in time, that was a lot to take in, so i just said, oh okay.

i actually want to go on a second date with him, yes i said that... and that is a first in a long time.  as for where he stands in his relationship with jesus, he said it is a work in progress and it definitely needs improvement.  i understand that and am not one to judge, so that remains to be seen, but at least he didn't lie and say he is a devout christian knowing he isn't just to go on a date with me.  i think this guy could have some potential, so we will see.
