B and I have already met for dinner several times. Most times we ate in restaurants and a few times at his house.
On Friday we went to Chat Grill in Scarsdale. He loves going there and loves sitting at the bar. I rather sit at a table, but I am learning that the bar is okay also. At most other restaurants we sit at a table anyway. I believe this is called compromise 🙂
He offered to make me pizza the next day, and I said yes. I got to his house at 4pm on Saturday. He was in the kitchen, stretching the dough. I offered to help and he had me cut the pepperoni.
He was so careful to try to do everything exactly how I like. He was going to add more cheese but I can’t have too much cheese, so he cut back on that. He makes his own red sauce, which is delicious.
The pizza was ready in no time and it was delicious. We had it with a spinach salad, and wine to drink. Before the pizza I had an appetizer of meatballs. He makes his own meatballs also, and it was equally delicious.
During dinner we spent some time having Alexa plays us some of our favorite songs. We don’t like most of the same music, but it has been fun finding that we have some favorite ones in common.
“When music speaks, everybody understands” ―
After dinner we cleaned up and then settled in the TV room to watch a movie. I had started watching a French movie that seemed interesting so we restarted watching it together. The movie had so much potential, but in the end it was just a confusing mess. It is called In the Shadow of Iris.
While watching the movie we had popcorn and wine. He is a big wine drinker. That is where he likes to use his sugar calories. I like wine also, but given a choice I would rather have sugar from chocolate then wine.
At this moment we are both not dating other people. There was not a big discussion or anything about that. We are both in synch about our feelings and want to spend our energies on only one person.
For the next 2 months we will not be able to see each other much. I will be going to Brazil this Friday, then I return with my Mom in 2 weeks, then in May I go back to Brazil to take Mom back and will stay there until the end of May.
It will be a test for the both of us. Will the absence make the heart grow fonder or will it make us lose interest? We shall see…

Thank you for sharing!!.. glad to see that all is going well and compromise and patience is working for now anyway… as for the two month absence, I know love is not part of the conversation at this time but “If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they’re yours; if they don’t, they never were.” (Richard Bach).. 🙂
Hope you have a safe and pleasant journey and until we meet again..
May the sun shine all day long
Everything go right, nothing go wrong
May those you love bring love back to you
May all the wishes you wish come true
May peace be within you
May your heart be strong
May you find whatever you’re seeking
Wherever you may roam

Hi Larry,
Thank you for the reminder to let it free. It is so easy to want to hold on to something and someone when having to deal with the distance. In the end I need to just relax. No one really owns anyone, near or far.
Blessings to you!
