Dating

Well, yesterday I went on my first "date" in six years (they aren't "dates" when you are in a long term relationship)... Of course, despite my relationship skills I had when I was younger, I was scared... For one thing she was a Gator as recently as last April, and I have had a particular horrible experience with a Gator in the past... Of course, nobody probably agrees with me on that, but I don't care... Anyways, it went a lot better then I expected and I actually didn't scare her off and it looks like we are going to the movies this Saturday... We seem to have a ton in common... Some of the exciting things are that we're both allergic to shell fish and hate all other fish with a passion, we both have lived in Europe, etc... I don't know if anything is going to come out of this, but it is a definite morale booster getting voluntary attention from a female... Also, last weekend at a Chinese New Year party another female was all over me... he he... anyways, I am finally below 175, which had been my plateau for about a year... I hit 169.5 last night in fact... pretty sweet... During Christmas and Thanksgiving I had started to gain some weight back... I was back up to 189... so I've lost 20 lbs since New Years... I only eat out twice a week, I work out MUCH more often then I ever have, and when I eat at home I eat mainly fruits and veggies... Anyways, my whole point is that I'm finally feeling a lot better about myself, even if it doesn't work out, my perspective on things is definitely improving...
