imagesWe're having a heat wave! Wow! Please excuse me while as I fan myself and gulp down this gallon of water. I love the heat, but this humidity is a bit much. I hope everyone is staying cool and enjoying their summer vacations.

Things are still going strong on my end since my last Single in the Suburbs entry with the photographer. The photographer & I have been enjoying our date nights, which have included a show in Philly to see Wicked, a night in Maryland to visit his parents new home and even a day at a cool Japanese Garden near Fairmont Park.

One of the most memorable evenings was the night he took me to a cute restaurant in Rittenhouse Square called Rouge where we wined and dined and of course, people watched! It seems to be a favorite thing to do for us both, free and entertaining. But before I fail to mention this, on our walk to the restaurant something quite embarrassing happened on our date.

Of course, I was wearing a nice dress to match the occasion and, being a suburban girl with little experience walking through the city, I had my very first “Marilyn Monroe moment”; yes you guessed it, my skirt blew up from walking over the subway grate and all the people behind me got quite a show! Unfortuantely, my skirt blowing incident wasn't quite as graceful or as glamorous as Miss Monroe's, but it was still funny. My date failed to witness this wonderful sight as he was actually engaged in our conversation and not focusing on my derrière- a great sign! (Although he did later admit that he was sorry he missed it.)

After laughing about what just happened, we sat down for a lovely dinner and afterward walked across the street to a park where we sat on the bench to take in the night life and gaze into each others eyes (I know, I know- I'm really enjoying this steady dating thing!). Across from us were these two guys who were discussing the women they were dating online.

Single in the suburbs

I overheard one of them say to the other, “I've been talking to this one girl and she sounds great. She doesn't want to get married; she has plenty of money; she isn't looking for someone to support her, and she just wants to have fun. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be alone the rest of my life.”

So ladies, I can now confirm it; there are guys out there looking to commit! After chuckling a bit from overhearing that, I then happened to hear some scuffling in the bushes behind us. Hoping it was a cute little rabbit about to pop out, little did I know two large rats come running out from under us. I swear I have never gotten up so fast and made a bee-line to the car down the street. I certainly had enough of the city for one night!

I am fortunate enough to say our dates have been both romantic and humorous, and most of all, we're enjoying each others company. And it seems I have passed the “parents approval” after having dinner with them one night in Maryland. I'm excited to see where this may take me. Who knows, I may not be single soon!
