So, we've been dating for almost 6 weeks. My parents came down for dinner last week and invited Darren. YIKES! Meet my parents??? So quickly? Eh, whatever. I told him it's not this big relationship step and it's cool if he doesn't want to go. He wanted to. Hmmmmm.
Meet my parents. They had my niece, Olivia. My step-sister was there, too. Ugh. He's pretty mellow, like me and seemed unphased. He only had a few moments with my Mom without me while I was peeing. I came out and saw them talking and almost ran. I could just imagine what my mom was asking. I don't talk about him much because I'm afraid to jinx it. Sex is amazing, we talk until all hours of the morning. We all walked outside and he invited me over. I hadn't been to his place yet. He's renting half a house from some friends who have a McMansion in NoSco. He's put a few bids in on houses and has the option to take his time, since he has a ton of his own space. He said "Phew, I made it through dinner with the parents!" Maybe he did think it was more serious that I did. Either way, it was a great night.
Yesterday, he invited me to happy hour to meet some of his friends. He's already met a ton of mine as I seem to drag him around. He loves it, of course! I was soooooooooooooo nervous on the way there! Was I wearing OK clothes? How was my hair? What the fuck am I gonna say? It went well. They left, we stayed and had dinner then hit a movie. Met up with Julia and Georgie and Chrissy after. I'm always afraid my life is too crazy for someone, but he's handling it well and doesn't seem to be getting freaked out. I even took him to the roller derby last week.
Since my abusive ex moved out 2 years ago, I have NEVER let anyone stay over, but he stayed last night for the second time. Had me laughing until I fell asleep.
Darren's awesome and we seem to be at a good pace without rushing stuff. No "L" word yet. He did buy tickets to Jane's Addiction/NIN for May 15th. I guess that means we'll be together for at least another month. He's definitely a keeper. Treats me very well, as I do him. I guess since I've been hurt and dicked around so much in the past, I'm a bit scared. I'll just go with the flow and not think too much about the future shit and it will be ok.
