Alrighty, here goes it!

Alright so I know you guys who follow me closely are eager to hear about the "dating" stuff! haha! I'm super happy and excited to share most of the details with you guys. *wink wink*

I wish I could include adorable and attractive pics of him on here b/c that's just how I am but I'd like to protect his privacy until we're like the real deal or something. I have lots of pics of him, he didn't mind me taking them. So here goes.

The Introduction: He came to the club to meet Starlet and I on NYE b/c he was our DD. He was my midnight kiss!!! Then after I did some more dancing I came back to him and was standing there with my head on his shoulder. He asked me if I was ok, and I said yes. I was looked up into his eyes, he put him finger under my chin and lifted my mouth to his and kissed me. haha! So sweet. We made out for probably an hour straight before the club closed. Then, he drove us to get food and back to our hotel and then he left. Starlet texted him on his cell b/c we thought he was gonna hang out at the hotel with us. He said he misunderstood and thought he wasn't and he was already home, 30 miles away. So I was bummed. But I go this cell that night and started texting him. We texted for probably an hour that night until I passed out at the hotel.

The crush: So then it was just a day later when we found out about my Pepaw. So we left down just another day later. He texted me ALL the time and it was so easy to chat with him and be open and honest. He's just really easy to get along with and like. He has 3 daughters that are 10-12 and he knows all about my boys. He knew some stuff about me from Starlet. He's a single dad to the youngest daughter, he has full custody of her. I think single dads are so adorable, ecspecially to daughters. So when I was in Arkansas he'd text me every day, every  night fo rhours at a time. He called me sweetie and baby, and honey. Said he couldn't wait for me to get home so he could take me out on a proper date. I was sooo excited. During the time I spent in arkansas I figured out we texted for 45 hours of that, throughout the 6 days. Insane right? Well we just get along and it's too easy.

Date 1: I got home Wed night and we immediatley made plans to meet up Thur night. So we met up around 9pm after I had gotten my kids to bed. We live about 55 miles from each other b/c I live in an eastern suburb of Phoenix and he lives in a town 20 miles south of the Phoenix city limits. So we met in the middle in Chandler at this mall. I got in his truck, he hugged and kiss me, said he was glad to finally just hang with me, no phones involved. We went out to eat dinner and talked ALOT. Then we went and saw an OK  movie, but I wasn't even paying attention to that. He's so lovey and affectionate, something I haven't experienced from a man I was dating in probably 5 years. It felt so nice to just BE with him. After the movie it was almost 1 am and I  was planning on going home around then. We sat in his truck in the parking lot and TALKED UNTIL 530AM!!! Of course there was some making out going on, good times! But lots and lots of talking. And he's so sweet. He opened up to me about so many sad, personal things in his life. Talked about his childhood, we talked about his sister (my bff) and he showed me pics of himself, his daughters, and his family on his laptop. he's so proud and it's adorable! He hopes to get full custody of all 3 daughters really soon! He almost cried once talking about it. He is jsut so precious and I've never met a man like him. The confusion with the dating thing is b/c we both have been open about how we don't want to jump into relationships b/c of our kids and we also don't want to be around each others kid for awhile, to protect them. He just got out of a bad relationship in Sept w/ someone he had brought around his kids and it ended badly. So he says he's wanting to focus on getting to know someone before he jumps into saying they're his girlfriend. I completely understand that. I am the same way too, but him being so charming and easy does make me want to move faster. So I've told him to slow me down when it's necessary, b/c it will be at some point, I'm sure. So we are "DATING" and not boyfriend/girlfriend but not HOOKING UP either, ya know. I guess just just this cozy in between place of getting to k now each other.

Oh and side note: he has the bad boy image but w/o being a bad boy. Which, how is that not a dream guy, right? Well to me. I like guys who looks bad, wear a lot of black, and ride motorcycles. but those are usually assholes. haha! He dresses normal but he has a lot of piercings and he does have a motorcycle. He used to be a "bad guy" until he had his daughters. Now the only piercings he has left are gauges in his ears and the one through the nose, like up in the middle (not the girly  nostril). It's the one that looks like a bull ring on cows. haha! I hate them, I think they're ugly. But he doesn't actually wear the ring in it, he wears a retainer to keep the hole from closing and it goes up IN his nose, so you can't even see it. So I'm fine with that.  And his gauges in his ears are fine b/c they're small, not nasty lookin. He used to have his nipples pierced, haha!

Pic below is me going to meet Daniel on our first date!

Me at work the morning after the date, Star said I looked beautiful, glowly, and happy!

That date went until 530 am and we both headed home. I got home by 6, got the boys ready for school, me ready for work and off we went. Got to work ontime but my cell phone died by 2pm b/c he was texting me all day and I didn't charge it. I fell asleep 4x at work, but I was there damn it! haha! good times!

I'm excited for what the future holds! It is a little ackward goin' oout w/  a guy and not being able to share the details, ALL THE DETAILS, with my bff. She is approving of us dating, she set us up, she said "I just don't want any emotional or sexual details, but you can tell me where u went and non-sexual stuff you did", haha! But I don't want to be talkin' all lovey about her brother and then it might not work out, that'd be ackward. So I haven't told her anything about it except thank you b/c she watched his youngest daughter for us to go out! She said she was glad I had a good time and I deserved it!

My bday is on jan 20th and me and my friends are going out on the 23rd to party up  my 25th bday. Daniel can't make it b/c he has all 3 of his girls that weekend, so him and I are now making plans for him to take me out on my birthday this coming up weekend! I'm so excited to see him again!!!!!

xoxo,
