What I find interesting about this whole situation is that I still remember the first time I saw Peter (December 24, 2000) and I was like "Wow that guy is really handsome!" However, he was my friend's brother and for me that was a strike 1. (I just didn't want to put Paul in that situation.) I also found out he lived out of town which was kind of a strike 2 for me.

In the years that have followed Paul has often talked to me about Peter as Peter jumps into relationships - each time heart open, hopeful that this time he had found the right person, and each time he had ended up hopes dashed. Paul is always shocked and horrified as to how his brother can chose women so poorly!

Maybe it was the fireworks, the beautiful moon rising, perhaps it was finding out we had more in common than we expected. Maybe it was just that suddenly we saw each other in a different light - I'm not sure.

However, we parted ways and he said he would pencil me in for his next visit. He did not ask for my phone number but needless to say he knows where to get it. Peter and Paul had dinner last night with their mother, so I am sure that if Peter had any doubts about my character Paul let him know what kind of girl I was.

I spent the better part of yesterday in a bit of confusion. I do like Andy, but the reality is that we haven't really had a date yet. He hasn't proven to be great at this whole getting back in touch with me, and while he gives me signals that he could be interested, but we aren't going anywhere in a hurry. In all honesty I cannot say that I would normally start anything with someone by making out in a bar - honestly many date end with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, so that was out of character for me. However, Peter lives in Panama City and I know that he goes out alot so I'm not sure what to think of that whole situation either. I don't even think I know enough about them that I would be able to chose between the two if I had to today!

I'm just trying to feel things out and not rush into anything, (Although making out does feel a bit like rushing for me!) and see what happens next.
