Ian texted me earlier today and said “I hope you’re ready for a relaxing evening!”  How sweet and yes, I was so ready for a relaxing evening. 🙂  He then asked me if I had a preference on what to eat.  Though I’m a big fan of surprises, it’s nice to be asked if I have a preference every now and again.  Tonight I thought something light like sandwiches sounded good, so he went and picked up some Firehouse Subs.  They were perfect! 🙂  He also gave me a heads up to wear comfy shoes that I could walk around in.  That, of course for me, means flip flops.  I know what I’m about, son.

We went to a park on his side of town, ate our subs and played Bocce ball.  I love bocce ball, it’s super easy to play and you can play just about anywhere.  It became even more fun when he suggested we play to see who gets dessert.  I am highly motivated by confections, so it was on.

The obvious answer to your unspoken question is yes I won; however Ian had desert planned out all along regardless of who lost (awe).  We left the park and went to a backyard fire with s’mores items all set-out and ready to go.  How thoughtful is he?  He knew I loved s’mores and he noticed that no one had yet done s’mores for a date, so he made it happen.  He even had Reese’s for the s’mores and Starbursts just to roast (try it, it’s awesome).  There’s something about sitting around a fire after a long day, or at anytime really, that is soo relaxing.  I just love campfires. 🙂  What a great way to end a fun date!

Some great things to know about Ian.  He pays attention to details and is conscientious of his date’s interests.  He’s an old school kind of a gentleman.  He likes to read and we have shared favorites.  He’s good at coming up with fun ideas. He has an unstamped passport; great and a tragedy!  Thanks for the fun and relaxing date, Ian!

Available for the date to Rome: Yes
