Red, glad you had a good time and are seeing him again. Please let us know who he wants you to meet. My curiosity is working overtime. Thanks.

Hey shooter, you did nothing wrong...
I m happy that everything went well...
I am guessing that he wants you to meet someone that shoots in the same class that you do...
I know that I would be worried if a girl shoots better than I do on a date... I would do my best to stand my man... even if that means bringing in a better shooter...
Don't worry about what he said... he's a guy... we don't always say things that you can understand.... what is logical to us may not be logical to you.
Keep us updated! I really hope that you can be happy!

First, it could be he's not that into you, but has a friend he thinks you might hit it off with. Not all that likely in my opinion, going from the little information that has been posted.
Second, and more likely, he is very taken with you and is bringing along his bestest bud to scope you out, to get a more impartial view of you. You gals have been known to do that too, at least if the chick flicks I've had to sit through are accurate depictions of the real world. (I'm an Aspergian, so take my opinions with a grain of salt. I don't understand people and personal interactions all that well.) If that's what he's doing, it's a good sign. He would not go to the trouble if he wasn't interested in you.
Keep us informed as to how it goes. Good luck!

He likely wanted to show his little niece that you don't have to be a male to shoot; that there are so women shooters out there. Congratulations. I think you have just become a role model!

My wife likes to joke that we're like Mr. & Mrs. Smith cuz we're both military & both love guns (she happens to be at the sniper level where I'm more the sharphooter/expert range). Hope yall have fun next time ya hang out. I know this must be awkward for you but I for 1 am happy to hear that you're giving it a shot.  lol.....omg, no pun intended, I swear. I realized that after I wrote it.
Anyhoo, trying to enjoy a date & just taking things slowly are a great start; no expectations & no rush. I happen to disagree with those who say "do this, do that" as far as acting a certain way or playing games goes. I've always appreciated a girl who is comfortable in her own skin so to speak & I get to know the real her when we start to open up to each other a bit. Cuts through all the crap & I can see if I can picture myself with that person or not. I used to say something like, "I like a girl who can just hang out with me & we can get to know each other, have some good conversation & a few laughs". I'm very direct sometimes! If they didn't know how to respond to that or were more like the "dinner & a movie" type, I knew right away that it wasn't a good match. Dinner & a movie is so vanilla, you can do that anytime ya know? Like how yall went shooting - that rocks! You seem like a good catch so I also wish you the best!

It kind of seemed like an attempt to show he is good with kids, but after spending a bit of time with them it seemed like they spend a lot of time together.

Did he ever say if it was his or not?
Sounds kinda like a backdoor way to say I have kids... or like you said he's good with kids.
Of course they spent a lot of time together.... she was only "about two and a half".
I remember my kids when they were that small... If you didn't entertain/take care of them they would find all sorts of interesting things to do... That was not always positive.

Sounds like a nice guy that would spend time with his niece and show her what he found.
I think it shows he has compassion, patience, and kindness.

We'll see what kind of man he is about that! Good luck. Alone is not good, but jumping into something is not good either. Be careful, go slow, and enjoy the experience of meeting new people.

Carries a 9mm? Is that kind of along the lines of the shoe size thing? lmao

Please keep in mind that the picture you quoted was from point shooting.
This is actually using the sights on the draw. 
I am going to call him tomorrow and ask if he wants to go shooting again.

LOL no, I was just surprised to see such a tall well built guy carrying a 9mm.

Compatibility is not only about shooting. It's how you get along in general. If the guy is decent and you both share the same opinions about life and the future then kudos to you Manda. Good luck!

My little sister has been bugging me to meet this friend of her's ever since she moved in with me a few months ago. So, I called her this morning when I woke up and told her to set it up.
Well, wish me luck. | Well, I mean "Yee Haw!", that's good news...
...and, I hope the best for you in this important endeavor.
Follow-up feedback please...
