OMG what just happened?

[Tracii G]

I really don't know where to post this and I'm not in any of the special forums on here so here goes.
I was out in my usual 50/50 guy mode today which is girls jeans not overly femme mind you and a pastel green colored Tee shirt with a white cami underneath in a layered fashion.
Black girls Airwalk tennis shoes.they look like guys shoes from a distance
Had a clasp on the lobe of my ear and a black hair band to hold my hair out of my face
very faint sparkle on my nails an a hint of mascara.
All of this was very subdued and not flashy in any way.
Did some daily errands and stopped by an upscale pub for dinner.
The girl at the front seated me and said Jeremy will be your server.I said TY and sat down.
Read thru the menu and then he came to take my order.
He said Hi I'm Jeremy can I get a drink to start off with?
I looked up and we locked eyes and both smiled at each other.
I felt I was locked in a time warp and couldn't speak.He was cute as hell really!!I don't find many guys attractive but this guy oh yeah he looked good.
He then said have you made a choice for dinner or should I come back?
I sat there dumbfounded and he just had a big smile on his face.
I noticed a ring on his finger and it had the rainbow design and he said yeah I'm sure you know what that means right?
I said yeah I know and he said thats cool you want to have coffee some time?
I said OK but I'm in a hetro relationship and he said don't worry just friends hows that? Transgender people are cool with me.
I said that was a nice thing to say thanks!
Maybe I'll see you at the GLBT pride center someday and I said hows the first Sat in Feb sound? He said cool CYA there.

[Barbara Ella]

Oh boy! I think you know what happened all right. Those moments don't occur often. I really hope this pans out in a good friendship, something we all need. So glad you stopped there for dinner, glad you were open to discussion and so observant. Treasure the moment.

Thanx for a wonderful post Tracii.

There are forces at work in this sorry world that we don't always understand, and they go well beyond the 'i'm this label and so i'm not interested in this label'.....blah blah blah.

Sometimes we come across special folks who touch us in some way, and there's that force field.

Kinda cool too.

[Tracii G]

I have had one guy relationship but it was a while back when I wasn't sure what I was all about.Searching my feelings at the time I guess.
I almost never get these immediate first looks things and it was strange for sure.

[Jodi Anne]

I think I can still hear your heart pounding loudly. Savor the feeling.

[allesha10]

What a great meeting, what are the odds of that happening? Plus you could enjoy your meal knowing that he was OK with it all.

[KatieGG]

Get 'em Tracii!

[docrobbysherry]

OMG! I can't stand it! What DOES a rainbow ring mean, Tracii?

Is that the new, "left ear, rite ear", gay thing?

[sandra-leigh]

Rainbow is the symbol for the GBLTTQQQAA (and I've probably missed a letter or two) community.

[Ann Louise]

I'm not surprised, you're such a cutie! Be gentle with him...

[Leah Lynn]

Wow! That's so cool.

[Michelle M]

WOW. just WOW.
Did you end up eating, or did you just kind of float out of there in a haze?

[Ceri Anne]

Awsome story Tracii. I actually have a straight hairdresser (yes, straight) friend who ends up out with me often. We go out in a group, but he takes pride in making me feel welcome and introducing me to new people. Enjoy the adventure and the friendship. May it follow where your dreams lead you.

[Tracii G]

Not sure what will happen just going to let things fall where they may.
Not expecting anything really is the best way to look at it I suppose.Just thought I would share with you my experience tonight.
My BGF is very much on board with my dressing and we are very open about how we feel about each other.
Ours is not a sexual relationship just very close friends and we do care a lot for each other.

[Diversity]

Neat! Sounds like there is smoke under there, and where there's smoke, there's fire! Could all be innocent, but when those rare times occur, and you both can feel a spiritual connection with great vibes, you just can't let this opportunity to explore go past. There is a reason for everything. Go to the meeting on Saturday, and explore the reason behind this unusual connection. I wish you good luck and happiness.

[AllisontheGoddess]

Wow! I wish some guy would ask me out for coffee like that :o :o :o --sounds like you had an amazing day beacuse of that!

[Pearl]

sounds like you got surprised! in a good way, of course, nice when that happens, i always like surprises because they happen so rarely these days....

[Lorileah]

starts singing like Mario Lanza "Some enchanted evening...you may here her call you acrosss a crowded floor....."

Traci, I think you just met your new best friend nothing more...how young is he?

I would say he's in his 30's barely.
What to wear on Sat? oh crap!!

[Tracii G]

[AshleeM]

As a server myself, I love when I run into people I immediately have a connection with. I bet you made his night by coming in there, I know you would've mine! Hopefully you can cultivate a relationship with him if your interested is that. Just make sure you give it a few days before you go back there and stalk him ;)

[ReineD]

Ours is not a sexual relationship just very close friends and we do care a lot for each other.

So are you more like best friends? Why did you tell the waiter that you were in a relationship with someone else? The implication was that you were in a romantic/sexual relationship and that you were "taken".

[Veronnie2]

Traci, you go girl...enjoy the moments...veronnie2

[Samantha B L]

Hi Tracii, Most of my LGBT/TG/TS/CD freinds don't agree with me about this. That's their right. I think all LGBT/TG/TS/CD tendencies are in part rooted in inherited predispositions and those are in stuff like brain function and hormones. I know there are mental health professionals and research scientists who think so. This means you can shell out bus fare to send a gay teenager to boot camp and it ain't gonna work. Or you can force a crossdresser to cut it out and they will go back to it 6 months later. It always happens. The point is why try to force LGBT/TG/TS/CD people to quit it when they are only letting nature take it's course and they ain't suffering from some diabolical,sinister,psychological problem. I've had lots of liasons with guys. At the same time I have this irresistable thing for women's clothes. And you've all heard me talk about my girlfreind who died in 2005 so I won't bore all of you girls with that. Tracii,unless you're in a relationship with someone else,give it a whirl. You only live once!


salu, Samantha

[daviolin]

This is like the first High School date. How exciting. Be good Tracii. Daviolin

[PertyX]

Sounds like fun, Traci!

Mind you, the way you described how you looked is super-cute. Can you blame the guy?

X

[Nicole Erin]

Even if nothing else comes of it, at least let the restaurant know he is doing a good job with customer service.
Give it a shot. Even though most new acquaintances just turn out to be casual, sometimes actual friendships come of it. Or, maybe you have a new mate. Of course don't be real shocked if "Tracii" doesn't appeal to his tastes.

[Paula T]

What I wouldn't give to have something like that happen for a "mature" gal such as I.

[Beverley Sims]

I hope you are able to become good friends and share your life experiences without getting in too deep.

[withasmile]

Yes - you did say you were in a hetero relationship... Why would you go further with this? Would your SO understand or be hurt?

[cathie pantyhose]

Sounds like it will be a fun weekend for you. If I had the courage to go out dressed half that way, I always wonder what would happen.

[Tracii G]

My current relationship is a very open one we are best friends for the most part and not sexual partners.
We are free to explore with whomever.
Withasmile and Reine I see where you are coming from if we were in a sexual relationship I would have not taken his offer.
By hetero I meant guy and girl so I can see why you asked the question.
I will be very open with him and explain everything for sure.I will ask if he is in a relationship too so there is no confusion.
Its just a date at this point and not expecting too much.
He knows I will be enfemme because its the same night as my trans group meeting.
When I said Sat he knew so I think he seemed fine with it.

[withasmile]

It was just a bit confusing. I would say then you really aren't in a relationship. Anyway, have fun!

[Tracii G]

It was just a bit confusing. I would say then you really aren't in a relationship. Anyway, have fun!

I can see where it would be confusing because of the way I stated that.

[paulaprimo]

could you let me know if he has a brother...:)

[Lori B]

see.....I told ya you got what it takes:battingeyelashes::thumbsup::hugs:

[Marlana]

Tracii, way to go. That had to be so exciting. I'm happy that it was a good first step. Please keep us updated if you can.

[Tracii G]

Oh I will post on how it goes Ha ha.

[insearchofme]

In the book "The Godfather" they described what happened to you as getting struck by the "Lightening Bolt". Good fro you!

[Tracii G]

It was something that has never happened to me I will say that.
Even being married twice that didn't happen in the beginning.
There was a deff connection.
Just going to play it by ear and see what happens.If I gain a friend out of it all so be it.

[becky77]

I have never known a connection like that so all I can say is you HAVE to go with it. Where ever it leads it was a special moment and you could find a wonderful friend out of this or possibly more.
I hope it all goes well for you :)

[Aylineira]

OMG everybody chill out, you're all gushing like little school girls!

So... Tracii got any pics of him or what??

[Tracii G]

Not yet but I will try to snap one with his permission of course.
I won't be able to post it here I'm sure due to the rules.

[Tracii G]

Wish me luck on my date he wants to take me to a club for some Rock and Roll I'm stoked!!
Wardrobe change at the last minute but thats OK.:)

[KatieGG]

Good luck Tracii. Remember what I taught you!! lol

[Tammy Nowakowski]

Good luck Tracii and have fun

[Michelle M]

Tracii, you look great. Have fun!

[Tracii G]

What a FANTASTIC night had a blast !!! :):):):):battingeyelashes:
I was treated like I was the only girl in the club.He was sooo attentive to my every need.
His friends were really nice too the couples we met there were so nice to me.
When we got there 2 of the girls said hi and I don't think they knew right off the bat I was a guy.Jeremy said he looks nice huh? The girls did a double take and looked me over.They figured it out then.One squealed and took my hand and said honey you look fabulous AND have the hottest guy in the place.LOL
The GG's treated me like one of their own, we giggled and joked around all night.
Jeremy looked so handsome and I had a few swoon times I won't lie LOLOLOL.
One of the GG's was watching me and she said OMG girl you have it so bad for Jeremy don't you?
I said its our first date but yeah he is smoking hot isn't he?
I had a few dances with him and he kissed me during one of the slower songs wow pretty much says it all.When he kissed me our whole table let out a huge "Lip lock him GF!!!"
And a few whoops and hollers.
I danced with a few of the girls and that was fun too those girls are crazy fun to be with.
So to sum it all up I had a great date night!!

[Jorja]

My, my your such a little flirt, Traci. It's no wonder he connected with you.;)

Glad it all went off without a hitch and you had a good time.

[Nicole Erin]

Tracii - I am going to say this in the most serious way I know how -

YOU F***IN' ROCK!!!! WHOOOAHHHWWW! Your ax and marshall stack ain't got NUTHIN on your level of "rock star".
:D

Out there gettin her man, partyin it up, I tell ya folks, Tracii is living the life.

Tracii you do need to keep us posted on how things go in the future as well. I am excited for you :)

[Tracii G]

Thanks so much ladies !!!
Nicole I'm just a down to earth person that tries to have a little gusto out of life.
I have had times where I wasn't sure I would be alive in the morning and to get out and enjoy life is my goal.
I will keep you posted on what happens.If it works out fine if not thats fine too.

[Lorileah]

awesome Tracii!!! Glad you had fun :)

[Tracii G]

Thanks Lori I had fun.

[Nicole Erin]

If it works out fine if not thats fine too.

Only time knows if things work out but I imagine you and him have at least a few more dates in the future.

[Tracii G]

I sure hope so Nicole.
