So before the date - I really really did not want to go. I was kind of miffed that he did not respond to my text from the morning about which restaurant we were meeting at or the text I sent at 4pm asking if we were still on for dinner. At about 5:45, I assumed he was not interested and standing me up. Or essentially standing me up - we hadn't picked a place, just a time, a neighborhood and a type of food. I had gotten out of the tub and was just deciding to put on my PJs instead of clothes, when he texted. I was kind of disappointed. I was having a nice lowkey day and just wanted to veg out to dumb tv or a dumb book (reading Sex in the City).
We had agreed on 7, but I had wanted to meet at 6 and he wanted to meet at 7:30. So then when I was ready and bored by 6:30 and he texted that he would be there at 7:15 , I was even more miffed.
I decided to "release" and just go with it. I am so glad I did. It was a very nice and funny date. The place he picked was a total dive (sushi) and we were totally afraid of bad fish. We were the ONLY TWO people in the restaurant. And he had a bad stomach that day (too much drinking the day before - we'll see how that plays out), so we were kind of scared. It made for a funny date. When he got his diet coke - he heard her open a can and said "Oooh, I just paid about 2 bucks for that can and there are probably no refills". Then when it came, I immediately started laughing and he says to the waitress "In a To Go cup - that's great!" It was really a dive. Really funny. Oh and why he texted so late. In our phone call, he said we would figure out the restaurant while he was on the train. I thought he meant the next day on his way home from work (or course I forgot to text when he would have been coming home from work because I was with my sis and niece). He meant on the train to the date. And was not paying attention to his phone all day because there was no reason to.
So he's a photographer as a side job, seems very passionate about it. And we kind of bonded on the burn out of a passion that is a side biz in fields that are not easy. I took him to get sweet belgian waffles after and then he walked me home even though he was freezing and was catching the brown line. I don't kiss on a first date, but for some reason I guess I didn't care about being "that girl". And BOY did he kiss me goodnight. He just went for it. No sweet, soft, chaste kiss goodnight. It was shocking but nice. Fun.
So now, just when I thought I was down to two - one fun to be with but not physically attractive enough for me - the other very physically attractive, wonderfully sweet but maybe not quite intelligent enough, but definitely the winner of the two - now I have a third. A third that is kind of a geek but in a very good way and definitely intelligent enough and while not as hot as Mary, cute enough to be sexy. It kind of made me sad that Mary has competition. Things are going so well with him. I really hope that the universe works it out for me so I do not have to make a choice.
