Thank you all. I did order myself a pair of jeans but they have a zipper in front I think. I'm going back to that website and look for something flat in front of jeans. I did order a jacket, a black one that I think will demphasize my big torso.

I have decided not to invite my friend over for dinner after all. After sleeping on it last night I have decided to work on developing our friendship and see if he asks me out eventually. I also have other things I need to put my attention on for the time being and I don't need to stay all stary eyed if something developed.

Now I can't wait to try to get a different pair of pants to go with my jacket.
