I went on a second date with the same girl the other night. Instead of waiting for her at a mall, I got to pick her up at her house this time. She was excited to see me. I was thrilled to see her. But I couldn't help but be a little nervous too. She introduced me to her aunt, a very nice lady, but it was still her aunt. Why do we do that? Why do we get nervous about meeting our significant other's family or friends? All I know is that my voice had receeded into my chest. My palms were sweating. I was a nervous wreck in other words. Then she held my hand. All of those troubles went away.

We went to dinner at a nice, cozy restaurant. It was very quiet. I felt a little cheap. I had to use this buy 1 get one free coupon I had gotten from the last time I had eaten at this restaurant. But that didn't stop me from having a good time. We couldn't stop smiling. We hardly ever stopped holding hands. She looked as beautiful as ever. How could I resist the temptation to touch her skin in any way, shape or form? She was in Robert Palmer's own words, simply irresistable.

I had to take her to the store. We shopped around. She introduced me to her mom this time. God help me, I got nervous once again. Fortunately for my nerves, this was a very quick meeting. Again, her mother was a very nice lady. Then I took her back home where she introduced me to her most important family member. From then on, it all just seemed like smooth sailing. I sat down with her aunt, discussing love songs, got a brief tour of the house. I was welcomed into their home with open arms and I really started to warm up to it.

I had to drop her off at work, but not without getting a few innocent kisses beforehand. I was happy. I couldn't stop thinking about her or this awesome second date after it was over. And, I can't stop thinking about it now.

Where we go from here is up to her. But I am very happy with the great memories I have so far. I figure it can only go uphill from here.
