Dating is a strange beast. After my last short relationship that consisted of big mistakes by both parties, I have decided to just date. Thus far, I have met a few great men that are either a friend or a prospect for more. I just want to do what adults do and date. I need to keep it light and get to know a person slowly over time before I give my heart away. I also do not want a relationship to distract me from working on myself. If I find the one, then great. If not, then hopefully I will make friends, keep meeting quality people, and enjoy more fun experiences.
The first date I went on was with a great man. He met someone so now we are just friends and I am happy with that. Despite the chemistry and attraction, I can see where some differences might be too much. Hiking around and watching him build a hunting perch was notable as I am going to hunt for the first time this year. I hope to keep in contact with this guy because he is interesting and ethical.
I had an amazing time on my date yesterday floating and fishing the Yellowstone. It was nice to have everything planned for me so I could just relax and enjoy. Chivalry is not dead. I caught a fish, which was awesome. I would definitely recommend Trout Wranglers to anyone, though, I won't disclose his name. I got some awesome tips. He isn't looking to rush into anything and it was really low-pressure, which is what I want. The third date is happening next week, so we shall see what it evolves into.
Any time on the river is something I value. We passed a play wave that looks really fun called Mrs. Bubbles that I plan to surf this month (kayaking). I finished off the day at the hot springs. The Montana sky on the way there was spectacular. It was full of silver linings and symbolic of what has been keeping me going: silver linings.
I met a nice gentleman last night. We randomly met in a parking lot. He is taking me to dinner tonight. We were originally supposed to meet at Sola Café for lunch, then head for the Boiling River and whatever spontaneous adventure we would choose. He canceled. Blah. He is taking me on a late dinner date tonight, so that should be fun. I do enjoy dinner dates quite a bit and maybe that is more appropriate for someone I just met, but a river date is so much better than dinner. A balance of both would be perfect. I am not sure what to wear tonight, but I love getting dressed up.
I am post-poning starting my cleanse until tomorrow. This is my third round doing this particular cleanse. I have had great results! It definitely puts a burden on my social life so I will just be spending time hiking, cleaning, soaking in hot springs, and reading. I am excited for the third time doing this cleanse and it will be a good jump start to get my eating habits dialed in again.
You are supposed to break a cleanse with broths, soups, and nutritious food. I have a dinner date at Willow Creek on Friday. I am pretty sure chicken fried steak and ribs aren't ideal. I will do my best to eat somewhat healthy. At least everything there is made from scratch, so it is less processed. This man lives in Butte, which is not ideal, but we have a lot in common and I think it will be fun, so I am going to give it a shot.
This is the little fish I am so proud of! I am taking to fly fishing:
