So we exchange some messages confirming the next date. We are going Roller skating. Super fun!

He picks me up on his motorcycle – I have my own helmet, armored jacket but forget my gloves.

He has gotten salads at Trader Joe’s and we head to Dolores Park. It is gorgeous outside – not too cold, not too hot. It’s that perfect evening sun set and people watching.

We find a place in the park to sit and eat and chat. He has water and the salads and a little desert. We people watch as we eat and it’s pretty fun. Once done, we head back to the bike and ride over to the Roller Skating place.

He does a quick change from jeans to sweats – weird – and a sequined hoodie. Another guy comes up – who he knows – and he has the same sequined hoodie. Oohkay.

We go into the space – it’s an old church that has been gutted. The floor is linoleum tile and people are skating in a circle just like in a rink. There are disco lights everywhere and at the front of the church where the alter used to be, there is a DJ. The music is a mix of funk and disco.

We rent skates for me, he has his own. Skates on, now time to see if roller skating is like bicycling – you never forget. Which seems to be the case. I am slow to start, but eventually get my groove back. It doesn’t hurt that he is holding my hand for most of the evening.

We skate, the music is fun and sometimes we are holding hands. The crowd is a mix of couples on dates, a couple of families with little kids and some groups of people including a group of gay guys totally decked out for roller disco – headbands, striped tube socks, short shorts and sequins. One guy has an amazing outfit including an open vest of fur.

I hit my wall around 2 hours when my legs and knees started to get tired and all trembly. So we change out of skates and back onto the motorcycle, back to my house.

Back in front of the house we kiss a bunch as we say goodbye. I think I am over the height issue – maybe – the jury is still out. He was so much fun and he is so observant and attentive it goes to your head.

He is also a pretty good kisser and I was tempted to invite him in but I was tired from two plus hours of skating. I want to sleep with him to see how that fits and because based on what I have seen so far, he should be a very attentive lover.

We part with discussions of the next date – soon to be scheduled.
