Brad invited me over for lunch today. It was going to be his first attempt at cooking for me. He decided to make spaghetti. When I got to his house he told me of possibly having lunch with his friends so we held off on making lunch. I think he was glad because he already had some fear of adding meat to the sauce. He was unable to choose ground beef at the market so he nixed the meat idea. Probably a good idea. So we sat around and talked about all kinds of things and he showed me all his photo albums. I was able to see what he looked like when he was young. Cute pictures! Then he sat on the couch and I rested my head in his lap while we talked some more. Then his friends Mark, Jim, and Frank showed up and we had some nice conversation with them. Then we went to eat at Silver Diner. His friends are very nice and I enjoyed meeting them and talking with them during dinner (lunch turned into dinner because of the late hour). Then we came back to his house and his friends went home. Brad and I talked for a little while longer. We talked about the possibilities of dating. After discussing the benefits of dating and Brad's fear of the longevity, he decided it would be okay if we dated. So we are going to continue to see each other. Makes me happy. I had a very nice time with him and look forward to spending more time with him in the future.
