Mission: Wait-A-While

So, here's the 411. I started dating this guy last month, let's call him Maytag Man or MM for short.

Our first date was great, great conversation, smart fella, easy to talk to and cute to boot!! We went for Sushi and drinks.

Our second date was 2 weeks later and went just as well if not better than outr first date. We went and saw Gipsy Kings at Ravinia, we danced and hung out with my friends Zhaleh & Yuriy. The weather wasn't very cooperative, but it made the night all that more interesting. You can tell a lot about people in semi-adverse situations. I saw no indications that he was displeased about the semi-rain out. Our second date was just over a month ago. Two days later I left for Greece for 4 weeks, as you may have previously read on my blog.

Now, I've been back for a couple of days now, and Maytag Man and I spent the whole weekend together. He came over on Friday night, we went dinner, then came back to my house to watch a movie. We hadn't planned much because I am still quite jet lagged. On Saturday, we decided to spend the day together. The morning started off with coffee at my local Starbucks, then we headed to Chicago to hang out at Lincoln Park Zoo. Yesterday was the perfect Zoo day. Spent time looking and talking about the animals and really getting to know each other. We walked through the zoo and came upon the lagoon where you can rent paddle boats. We rented a paddle boat and paddled around the lagoon for a while. It was really a terrific day!!

After the zoo, I took him to my turf. We went to Greek Town for a late lunch/early dinner. Maytag Man had never had Greek food before, so I decided I needed to take care of that. You can't date this Greek girl and not have ever eaten Greek food.

All in all, I had a great weekend with Maytag Man. I look forward to spending more time with him and getting to know him better.
