So, I went. It was fine, I bought another pound of coffee beans & had a cup there. Got to talk with DJ after his set for a bit, was cool to catch up, but he had to go to his next venue so didn't stay long. There was a very attractive taller woman running one of the 'pop-up' vendors there, but there was nothing I was interested in, so the best i could do was smile at her the one time our eyes met (still an accomplishment for me!).
I didn't see the date-gal either, so no awkwardness, which was also nice. On the way home I made a detour & stopped at the 'new' storefront of the woman from whom I bought most of my mid-century furniture. It's a nice little shop, and there were a couple of things I would have liked, but they were a bit out of my price range. It was also nice to catch up with her as well (she actually remembered my name, and I haven't seen her in over a year, I think?). Unfortunately, i couldn't remember hers, but I played it off & I don't think she noticed.
Also, i got my new Oura ring in the mail, yesterday, and spent a bit charging it up & getting it registered, so now I'm using the new one & the old one is in the box in the closet. Not sure what I'll do with it yet - I'm trying to find out if someone else could actually use it if i sold it? I think it's tied to my email address, so maybe not. If not, I may just keep it as a backup in case I lose this new one.
Lastly (and I debated whether to write about it), I've actually sent a few messages back & forth with a gal on one of the dating websites in the last few days. She seems nice, and it seems like our general outlook & politics align well. She'd mentioned (in her profile) getting back into a C25K (which I'm doing now), and is also learning to play guitar chords. She's also looking for a hiking friend, as the one she's been going with is apparently moving away soon. I took a pretty big step for me today & asked if she'd be up for meeting, as I think we'd have no issues maintaining a conversation, so we'll see how she responds. Unfortunately, she lives over an hour away, so meeting might be difficult to arrange, time-wise. Regardless, this is probably the most forward I've been in months (years?), so it feels pretty good, even if a bit anxiety-inducing.
