And that's unusual for me. With most men I've gone out with, and with most people actually, I feel more on the logical side of things. Though, of course, I am able to get along with people still.
Lol, yes, good rule.

Some things I didn't mention before:
He's very competitive (or so he says - I have yet to encounter it personally). He's a lawyer and his favorite part is going at it with an opposing lawyer. Though he "doesn't like beating up on the ones he respects" but it's still overall fun for him it seems.
He got very annoyed to the point of needing to blow off steam by a judge who made a decision that he felt was based on politics and power plays as opposed to following the rule of law and justice.
Something else that appears to motivate him in his job, though he hasn't explicitly said that it does, is a sense of outrage over the crimes of those he prosecutes, in particular the ones done to the most vulnerable and innocent.
He's also big into health and fitness and really wants his partner to be into it as well.
In terms of planning, he did say that when on vacations, when he's with people, he's the one saying "Ok, let's go here, do this, this is when, this is where" etc. But the last vacation he took he wasn't with anyone where he felt any sort of responsibility, so he was essentially forced to relax and he found he enjoyed it.
But when it came to planning our date, he left a lot of the details until the last minute and even had me decide where we'd go. I can't tell yet if this is a pattern, but it did stress me out a bit.
He hardly touched me at all on the date. Brief hugs at the beginning and end, and the occasional hand on my back to guide me when walking through some spots. Oh, and the grabbing my arm to stop me from dying, but that almost doesn't count. (The lack of touch makes me feel insecure that perhaps he doesn't find me attractive...)
I do feel safe around him. As in, I didn't get any gut feelings saying he was dangerous to my physical safety. Not that I've had that happen much.
I also feel intimidated. I feel unintelligent and slow for the first time in awhile. I feel somewhat like a research subject, too, now that I think about it.
