A first date.
It took me a while to give this person the go-ahead to ask me out, and apparently he decided to use that extra time to think of multiple ways to knock my socks off. And knock my socks off he did, or, would have... if I hadn't been in heels. I had no clue where we were going or what we were doing; I was given a basic idea of what to wear and when to be ready.
Fifteen minutes after that scheduled time (as I was inevitably running late) my nicely dressed, well-groomed date knocked on the door, flowers in hand.
He escorted me outside where there was a shiny black Cadillac waiting.
With a tiny little red carpet leading to my door.
Oh, and did I mention the chauffeur? His name was Mickey.
One of my favorite drinks was pre-mixed and waiting for me in the backseat. I buckled my seatbelt and was promptly teased for doing so, and we were on our way to the mystery location.
After about a forty minute drive, complete with cocktails and good conversation, we pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant that I love but have only had the pleasure of experiencing once: The Melting Pot!
I had no idea how he knew to pick the place, because I had never mentioned it before. Turns out he was paying attention when at some point I mentioned my undying love for cheese, chocolate, and wine and he thought that this particular restaurant would be the perfect place to merge all three. Good man.
I considered proposing marriage at the sight of that melting cheese, but I controlled myself. After all, it was just the first date.
We went on to have a wonderful three-course fondue dinner, tucked back in a quiet corner booth. Two and a half hours and two and a half thousand calories later we called Mickey and were on our way back home.
I've never really been one to put emphasis on material things or a dollar amount, especially when it comes to dating and relationships, but I'll admit that it was a lot of fun being treated to a night on the town. You know a date is a success you're genuinely interested in the person sitting across from you and when, somehow, in the beginning stages of getting to know you, he's already managed to make you feel special.
All in all, it was a pretty exceptional evening.
So, what do you think?
Should I go out with him again?

Um, DUH!
Sounds like a blast, I want to go out with him. :o)
Kidding.
If you don't want to go out with him again, I WILL! What a sweet guy. He obviously wanted to impress you right off the bat, which is always a good sign. Keep us updated, I'm excited for you! What a perfect first date, I am flowing with envy.
How exciting!!! The Melting Pot! The whole thing sounds perfect!
Someone who pays that much attention to what you like is definitely worth pursuing. Definitely go out with him again! Find out what his flaws are. We all have them, we just try to hide them in the beginning.
what a perfect first date, he really put a lot of thought into it. you definitely need to go on another date.
yeah I am so happy for you.
How sweet is this guy?! The fact that he put that much effort into the date and catering it to what you would like.. just amazing! I'm so glad you had a great night out on the town. A great way to get back in the dating game
Ummmmmmmmmmm YAH! You deffo need to go on another date!! He sounds like he's very thoughtful and knows how to treat a lady. :o)
Whaaaaat? I'm dying over here. Old married woman, officially dying from the adorableness of this story. Right here.
:)
The fact that he seriously did so much to impress you (but not in an awkward trying-too-hard way) is a definite good thing. I love it! Of course, now he's set a standard that may be difficult to surpass in the future. Heehee.
