I think I just agreed to meet a "gentleman caller" on Friday. (Lunch, public place, casual but safe) Wasn't nervous about it until just now.

I hope it's a good time!

suggests Letting things take their natural course. It's always nice to make new friends, but it's also OK not to. KWIM?

I hope he’s acceptable company.

oooh can't wait to hear!!!

footpad : you are absolutely right. trying not to get my hopes up. A new friend is enough of a jewel. He seems like a nice guy. And he is great to talk to. that's enough for today.

Lemongrass : me too!

🐾Cindy🐾 : you'll be the first to know.

I hope you have a wonderful time!
