Went out last night, it got really late, had an awful lot of fun, got urged to do some singing, which I did in the end when the music got better.
Flirted like I haven't done in erm... years ... decades ... eva?? with this really cute bloke, and he liked me just the same
Ended up in his arms outside. And hot dang, wonderful! Bliss! I wasn't aware that I actually missed being held by a man? Good bit taller than me, can't remember the last time that happened! At least 15 years ago, but being in the arms of a man that much taller than me, closer to 27 years ago. When I rested my head on his chest, it was actually on his chest, sigh, wonderful! *I'm 5'9", something like that doesn't happen very often, if at all*
When we kissed I found myself thinking "I can feel my neck?" Never ever had that before. Think he must have been 1.85-1.90m, so not ridiculously tall, he hadn't even struck me as tall to be honest.

* Dreamily sigh * So happy, no fireworks, not a great kisser unfortunately, but being held, by a tall guy at that, made my day. Err .. night, was almost 5AM. Was the first thing I thought of when I woke up just now, hihi.
And know one thing for sure now: I really really really am NOT gonna "settle" for a shorter guy or someone just as tall as me. Being able to rest my head on his chest felt so hot danged good! I've never felt so safe, protected, so totally woman in my life!

So not in love, no fireworks and passionate kissing, but a bloody good night regardless!

Hey CrystalFairy you described your evening so well, I could feel the warmth. I can certainly relate

Sweet Dreams

Thank you Loovedoove, and yes, being able to slip into a (taller) man's arms and feel so ... totally woman... sigh ...

Good point. But I want both the fireworks and the height, having experienced this, haha.

Are you sure that he wasn't just standing on something?

Why, master Strat, are you jealous?
No, wait, don't answer that, or we'll end up having another dispute. But no, we won't, I'm too happy today to get into a dispute. Besides, you're rather tall yourself aren't you, and women on the other side of the channel are usually short, so I wouldn't worry about it.
Dang I'm happy :) Now don't you go spoiling it Mr Scot. I'm not interested, ye ken, just wanna be happy

Nope, I'm not jealous and yup, I'm six feet tall. It was just a feeble atempt at humour. Glad to hear that you're in a good mood anyway.

Hey, I don't know what the average height of women over here is but I met a right little cutie recently and I know what you mean about not wanting to settle when someone that is your type comes along.

So was mine, master Strat, so was mine :)
I've concluded that for me a guy should be at least 6 feet tall. Cos when I'm on normal boots, I'm close to that myself. Somewhere between 6' and 6'3" would be ideal. Always confusing, these converters, some come up with different numbers, or when I calculate myself, using the proper numbers, it's different from the converters. Oh well..


Yep in an extremely good mood!


Dunno either, I do know the English are very short compared to the Dutch, but I think the Scottish tend to be taller than the English?

isn't it funny when we find out a little more about ourselves and what we want. hope you get the height and the fireworks all in a great package.

Yeah, I don't think of myself as being particularly tall but now that you come to mention it, when I was in Amsterdam someone said that I was for a British tourist and they get a lot of Englishmen going there.

@ Ana, thank you, I hope so too!
Looks like I'm going to see this particular man tonight.
Not for long I don't think, still tired, had just over 6 hours sleep.

Tawt, yes, true. One of my friends from Essex is really short and his girlfriend is even shorter. I think the younger generation is a tad taller.
Even though the Dutch tend to be taller, and me not being really tall at 5'9", I never had a partner taller than me.
And ironically enough both LT partners I had, were about an inch shorter by the time we split up, so they'd shrunk a tad. Now I'm not much of a cook, simply because I don't like it much, but it ain't that bad, lol.

Still sounds like you had an awesome time.

Yeah I did, Rock :)
But he's not "the one". Saw him again tonight and had a great night, and yes, I was held and cuddled and kissed again And had a real good time. But there is too big a gap in certain aspects for it to become something more. I'm fine with that, we had a real good time and I wasn't expecting more.

:)

At least I had two fun nights. I regularly remember Krupa here always saying "dating is supposed to be fun!"
I never really found the fun in dating, I always found it a to-do, a hassle. Meaning I hardly ever date. What I've experienced the last two nights is more like having fun dating.
I'll get there. Hopefully before I'm 70

^Agreed!

Next time : Grab your lip gloss & a few fireworks. This time it will be physical! ;)

Amen to that!
And to be on the safe side, send him a 'how to kiss' YouTube tutorial before we meet. Or you think that won't go down too well? * chuckles *
Oh well, can't win 'em all, I did get more than I expected: tall bloke, good looking as well, good time, hugs, cuddles and he was really nice.

I like it when someone knows what they want. Just grab him & tell him that this is how you kiss. I can't make it rain but I assure you that I can cause the sprinkler to go off to give me that cozy satisfaction of kissing under the rain feel. Make sure you invite me to your wedding if this bloke is the "one".

awwww, sweet!

I also prefer tall men. Yes, I think it's the Dutch part of the family. My family has all tall men. My sis is 5'10". I had a great, great, grand father that was 7' tall and built his own house so he could get through the doorways. My brothers are over 6'2", dad was as well. I'm the shorty at 5'6". I laugh when short women call me tall.

My son will be 6'3" they say when he stops growing.

I agree, if you kiss me just the steamy right way....bingo. I'm yours. Perhaps you could teach him. You said it's been a while since you've dated regularly, maybe a few more dates and you will find more compatability with him? More of a warm up period?

I'm glad you had fun.

Haha, nah, this one is not the one, although he was nice (not just cos of the kissing). So there's no wedding bells chiming yet, not even in the distance.
I do feel a lot better about dating though, haha. Being held by a man, feeling so good, sigh ... Seriously didn't know how muc I apparently missed that. Maybe I should just go to a pub each week, look for a hunk, tap him on the shoulder and ask him "xcuse me, would you hold me, please!", flutter my lashes, pout my lips, might get away with a good kiss as well? If only I had the guts, hihi

Ahhh... Wishful thinking. Sigh.

We can't win em' all but we can surely improvised! ;)
