"blind date" update
ok. i'm at my apartment nervously waiting for him to pick me up. he's 15 minutes late. so i'm checking in the mirror to make sure i'm dressed ok. making a mental checklist: nice fitted blackdress, strappy sandals, french manicured nails & toes, hair is done.... perfect!
at 8:25, my doorbell rings and i check the peephole, OMG!!! what is my friend/coworker doing here?!?! (he knows i have a blind date tonight. i've been stressing out over it all week at work to him) so i opened the door for him.
me: hey brandon! what are you doing here? sean's going to be here any minute.
he just looks at me... from head to toe and back up again, & smiles. he told me i looked beautiful. so i stand there, looking him over... and it all registered. he's dressed for a date, he's standing at my door, his middle initial is s, and he has something behind his back.
i felt like an idiot. my face must have showed my reaction cause he panicked... then blushed and handed me a single red rose. i invited him in and we talked about how ridiculous this whole ordeal was and went to dinner.
we had a really great time at dinner. we talked about movies, books, traveling, our families, & our work (we work at nortel).
towards the end of dinner, i finally asked him... why go through all the trouble of pretending to set up a blind date for me. he then said he and jen (my best friend), knew that i wouldn't agree to go out with him. cause he and i have been good friends for bout 2 yrs. he said he always had his eyes on me , and thought i was very special.
right when he said that..... i felt myself blush. it was so weird to here my male friend say that to me in that way. so..... we just sat there & there was an akward silence for about 10 seconds, and we both burst out laughing. we ended up leaving and went to dave and buster's, had a couple of drinks, played air hockey ( I WON, btw!!!
) , and more drinks.
finally, he took me home (bout 1:30am) and walked me to the door. we told each other that we had a great time. and i was saying how it will be weird for us to start seeing each other and adjusting his collar at the same time.... then suddenly, he pulled me closer and gave me a long passionate kiss (sappy, huh?).
the whole time, i was like.........."WOW!!!" i can't believe this is happening!!! i finally had to pull away (he and i were gettin hot... u know what i mean?). he asked me what was wrong. and i told him this was moving WAY TOO FAST. and he apologized for his behavior and said that being with me was like a dream come true.... so..... i said, "it's getting late. we can talk about 'us' another day." and smiled. he just looked at me and said that he understood and we'd talk later. he kissed me goodnight on the cheek and left. what a gentleman, huh?!?
in the two yrs i've know him, never once had i thought of him as more than a friend. now.... i had a really great time with him, and he sure does know how to kiss. but is it a good idea to risk our friendship? what we already have? is it worth it? though, is it already too late because of the "blind date" and our hot & heavy kiss???
i'm sooo confused. help.

p.s. he was soooo handsome in his white buttoned up shirt. there's something about a nicely built guy with a tan in any white shirt. especially in a white s2k
!!!! girls, do you agree??? btw, he drives a brand new red m3!!! SWEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn... I will make sure to steal that move he used
He sounds like a cool guy.... so do you want a relationship with this guy? I mean why not... why not just be more than friends... ;-) I am pretty sure if anything did happen in the relationship(hope not) you two can still be friends. It sounds like you have a lot in common as well.
What an awesome move... damn I am going to do that one day if I need to

If you like the guy and he's as genuine as he sounds, I think the friendship can probably survive whatever a relationship might throw at it.
I'd say follow things and see where it leads...what do you have to lose?
Take my advice with a grain of salt, though, because I'm a hopeless romantic...

Man that guys got some real guts to do that.
I could only imagine whats going through his head as he rang your door bell.
Just one thing though, he must really like you, it takes a lot of guts to break of the friend box, it's not easy so you should know that in my opinion he took a huge leap of faith that you would not chase him down the hall with a kitchen knife. so go with it just keep it at a normal speed thats what has always saved me in the past.
