OMG! Dare I think it may have finally happened? After being single again for the past 3 tears, I met someone. We had spent the past week exchanging emails - 5 and 6 page long emails.. talking on the phone and text messages. Everything is going great.. we're on the same page with everything - life philosophy and especially on spirituality... (we do oppose each other politically, but thats a small issue at this point).
So last night was our first date... you could feel the electricity! As we talked, looking into each other's eyes and holding hands... I told her about Allie.
She never blinked... she squeezed my hand and told me she was proud of me for having the courage to be me. She was not unfamiliar with the concept of crossdressing, and has a lot of GLBT friends, so I knew se was open minded. We finished our dinner on a sidewalk cafe, and went for a walk and found a park.... sat on a swing.... kissed...
we finally had to say good night, as hard as it was. I sent her some pics when I got home, and this morning she sent a very flattering email. Even thought she said she needed a little time to process it, she was "not running away, just take me slow.." An hour later I got a phone call from her and we talked for another 3 hours. It was like pillow talk (I was still in my PJs). We are already planning to see each other again.
DAMN! She's smart, sexy, pretty and very open.. I think we shared most of our secrets last night. We both agreed - or admitted - that we both felt giddy like a couple of teenagers last night.
But my point is this.. after all of the "how/when should you tell" threads on here... I wanted to tell her up front. She is a very unique lady, and I wanted, out of respect for her, to give her the choice of deciding if she could consider dating a CD or not. She understood and thanked me for the consideration.
This is all new... no telling where it will go... but sometimes those leaps of faith pay off!
WOW!
