He thinks I'm cute

The guy I've been going on dates with is going to pick me up for a date from my home Saturday.
He's going to come in and have a drink with Dean.
This guy has no kids, I have three, my house is a kid house. For the past couple days I've been trying to "adult" my house a bit more, like I would do if I were having a grown ups only party, but still I'm doing this for my date so I don't scare him away with all the dirty handprints at knee level and craft projects everywhere!
I also am learning to make a cocktail (one of Dean's favorites) to serve them both while they chit chat.
Last night after I finished dusting the picture frames Dean says...." I think it's...cute?...that you are doing all of these things for your date"

Dean's been let in to the other side of dating me and he's more than entertained watching me nervously flit around and re-think my outfit a hundred times.
It's fun to show him a little of what it was like when I first started dating him! All the nervous flitting and the ways in which I tried to make him feel special.

This will be the first time Dean is meeting someone I'm having dates with. It feels important. I'm not nervous, but I do want to create a lovely atmosphere.

What a fun first. :):):) This is part of the good stuff. :):):)
 
I commend you for your hard work getting ready for this date. Sounds like you will have a good time!
 
I remember going through my bedroom last year before I moved out and I found melted crayons and a hundred dollar bill!
 
What would happen if I had a big deal event happening like the guy I'm having dates with meeting my husband for the first time?
Puking children. Two of them.
Well, at least I don't have to finish whiping all the toothpatse and crayons off the bathroom cabinet.

You are a mother. These are part of the package. I hope he won't think these... "too much reality".
 
Oh it worked out beautifully. I wasn't worried about my date freaking out :)
I'm a pretty good judge of people lately and I get the I have three kids thing out of the way very early on.
If he or anyone has a less than understanding and pleasant response to my motherhood then they get cut loose! No loss on my part!
The girls are literally priority #1.

Their stomach bug had settled so I did go dancing - which was amazing but now I am sore from top to bottom lol
And my date did meet my husband, just for a much shorter time and they did great at genuine small talk.

Side note I spoke to my date's wife on the phone yesterday for the first time and she was lovely!

So many firsts yesterday and all good things.
Why haven't I been living his way all along? ( I mean other than the entire list I could easily come up with! lol )
 
Very glad to hear that things worked out.
