Shane is a modern cowboy Casanova.  Throughout the night, he kept saying three of the most lovely words in the English language, “Whatever you want.”  Now these words can be used as a cop-out when the date doesn’t want to make any decisions, but in Shane’s case they meant whatever you want, I’ll make it happen.  What do you want for dinner? Whatever you want.  Desert? Whatever you want.  Dancing? Whatever you want.

We went to Macaroni Grill for dinner.  Gotta get ready for that Italian food, after all.  Dinner was great, nice and relaxing after a long day at work. 🙂

During diner, Shane described a day when he and his brother took three flights in one day to New York for breakfast, Florida for lunch and back to New York for dinner.  This sounds like a pretty awesome day in my estimation.  I’ve wandered far too little for far too long and my wanderlust is returning with a vengeance.

After dinner we headed down the road to Rita’s Italian Ice.  I am just now seeing the Italian pattern which was not planned.  I’ve got to be honest, I only go there for the custard.

After desert we went driving he put on some Billy Ray Cyrus and Loretta Lynn.  I was raised on country, but these artists were before my time; major props to a guy who appreciates the classics. 🙂  He told me to think of the coolest place I had ever been to and imagine some place 1000x cooler.  He took me to a surprise location with great views of the city and which required some legitimate climbing.  Though I am not at liberty to divulge this location, which may have included bypassing a fence or two, I will say I was covered in dust/dirt by the time I got up to the look-out point and I totally owned the climb in flip-flops.  The view and the climb were totally worth it!  Shane was pretty sure I would decide not to make the climb, especially with my flip flops.  Challenge accepted. 😉

Since he’s a cowboy Casanova and up for “whatever”, the evening did end with some driveway dancing.  Man I miss country dancing sometimes. 🙂

Some great things to know about Shane.  He is very passionate and goes all in; he’s a go big or go home kind of guy.  He’s spontaneous and likes to do crazy fun things.  He’s confident in himself and his abilities and he likes to push his limits.  He’s bold and all heart.  Thanks for the adventurous  date, Shane!
