Maybe I COULD date a guy shorter than me...

So I had a first date last night with a match from eHarmony. Wow, I was so nervous! Especially at dinner.

My first impression: CRAP, HE'S SHORTER THAN ME. I really, really don't like guys to be shorter than me. It's just that I'm not a petite girl myself, and I'd like to feel like a non-Amazon woman, thank you. Have I ever dated a guy shorter than me? No. Of course have I dated much? No. I've always said short is a dealbreaker. Maybe my standards are a little too high (no pun intended)...

But the good news: time FLEW by. We closed down the restaurant (granted, we got there at 8). He's incredibly intelligent, very funny, and talks about God more than I do. And although he's short, he's stocky. Oh, and he has a goatee (ah yeah!).

Granted, there are a few things might be challenging. He's a different race than I am, and although we're both cool with it, we have family/friends who'd probably never say anything outright about it, but would be a little disappointed. Hey, and let's be honest, how many interracial couples do you see in Oklahoma. And, he got over a serious relationship 6 months ago and he mentions her a little more than I'd like. But that may be because he's an open book.

I like him so much, and part of me thinks that the whole scenario...sign up for eH, talk to the first match I had, BAM! found a somebody to date....was way too good to be true. I've already started (even before the date) praying over this. Gonna have to bump up the prayer frequency even more because I didn't think the first date would go so well.

Am I still using eH to talk with other guys? YEAH! I've gotta work that $60. I've advanced to stage 3 on a couple more guys now. And you people are reading this to get the inside scoop on the quirks of eH.

Overall, I think the date was important to both of us to see if the chemistry was there. Obviously we have great conversation, but I know from experience last summer (toothpick guy, for those who remember) that conversation doesn't make up for no spark.

Did we have good chemistry? Oh yeah. So maybe I COULD date a guy shorter than me...
