So I had date 2 with Joseph, the marine. F-I-N-A-L-L-Y. It has been about a month, maybe more. We had at least 2 other dates scheduled that fell through because of his work schedule or work mishaps. I had a lot of fun. He seemed really spastic and nervous. And I am not really attracted to him. AND he is just in a place in his life that is "too young". I am not making a judgement on the fact that he is a year younger. I am making a judgement on the fact that every story was still about going out drinking, that he'd been out till 5 a.m. the evening before we went out, that he has no desire to start a family any time soon. Too young.
I asked about the drinking thing and mentioned that I am so over that lifestyle. He said he was making up for "lost time" from when he was with his ex-wife. 5 years in his 20's that he considers wasted away. I said - so how much more time do you need to make up? "Probably about 4 years - hahahaha".
I tried to pay for the date because I wanted to end on even footing, but he wouldn't let me. He drove me home and then I gave him ample opportunity to kiss me. There was time before we got in his car when I was trying to say goodbye and that I would just walk. And then when he actually dropped me off. Again I felt a spastic vibe - I don't want to say nervous - but hyper maybe and sort of shy/avoiding. He was not going for a kiss, so I leaned in to hug him. Well, of course, then there was a moment in the lean-in that he obviously thought I was possibly going for a kiss and landed in my hair.
I am sorry. If you want a kiss - you are the man! GO FOR IT!
There will not be a date three.
