I went out on one date and thought it was fun. It was just supposed to be sushi, but he suggested we catch a baseball game. So I went. It was fun, but I wasn't sure if I was attracted to him. I guess I may still be hung up on another relationship.

Anyway, we've been talking on the phone ALOT. We have so much in common. He has the same religious beliefs and likes a lot of the same stuff I do. Plus, he's got a great job.

I am now quite a bit attracted to him and look forward to our next date.

What happened with you? Are you two together?
