Katie Leonard: A New Life #3 Katie's 1st date

I keep surprising myself. It's like I never even knew the real me. It's been eye opening.

Things are happening fast and I am happy. Happy for the first time in a long time.

Today I went out on a date as Katie. I didn't think that would ever happen (I've been saying that a lot lately). I met a f2m through Dorothy (thank you kindly) and we met at a mall that was convenient to us both. He was a perfect gentleman, opened doors for me and all that good stuff. We talked. That is always my idea of a good date. We talked and we got to know each other. We have things in common and even know some of the same people. Nothing major physical happened accept a hug, and I think I appreciate it that way. It was nice and slow and I hope to do it again sometime soon. We ate at Red Robin (YUMM!) and then I walked him to his car because he had to leave for work but I wanted to shop some so, you know.

I think I am liking the real me. I don't want to toot my own horn, but I think I'm pretty awesome and I haven't felt that way about me, ever. Here is to more self discoveries.
