A true gentleman, the epitome of what I want and strive to be. Sometimes I fail. Often in the past I've failed. I'm not perfect, and I know I cannot be perfect; but I do know I can be a gentleman, and be the best me that I can be. Being a gentleman is not just about being nice to someone you're interested in; but also being kind and considerate to all of those around you; even complete strangers. It's not always easy, and it's often easier to be the complete opposite, and temptingly so.
Last weekend I started talking to someone new, as a friend. I know her through a mutual friend, and we went to the same high-school. She's a very sweet girl, and I thought she'd be a nice person to talk to, and be friends with. This weekend we met. I had met her once before, several years ago; but she'd forgotten. We went out as friends, and we had a lot of fun. We met with the intention of hanging out as friends, and not a date. The night had other plans, and it turned into more of a casual date.
We were both very surprised with how comfortable we were talking to each other. It wasn't awkward at all. Prior to meeting, we hadn't even talked on the phone. We'd only been texting each other here and there, just having casual conversations.
It was nice to take someone out, and treat them like a gentleman should. I hope she had a good time.
Last night we hung out again, with some mutual friends of ours, and went and played pool for a couple hours. I was surprised when she asked if I wanted to go. Was very last minute. We had a good time. It's nice to get out, have fun, and enjoy life. I've been completely honest with her, about where I'm at right now, and she respects that.
Enjoy life, and live it, don't let it pass you by.
