Okay so I had two dates this wknd.
The first one was with a guy who I wasn't really interested in at first. I thought he was really arrogant and full of himself, but.... I'm actually a little more interested in him now that I know a little more about him. He's missing one of his limbs and uses a prosthetic (I'm actually kinda disappointed in myself that I didn't realize that until halfway through our date... I like to think that I'm really observant.) But ironically, it doesn't weird me out or turn me off, actually it makes me like him more cuz I'm impressed at everything he's accomplished despite the fact. Yea I know, I'm weird. Like he was a valedictorian in college, and I'm wondering how he typed his papers and all that with one hand, you know? I tried to ask him about it, but he said he didn't want to talk about it
. Ordinarily I would be worried about his ability to protect and provide, but I don't really see that being an issue with dude.... he's an I-banker and I get the sense that he's really resourceful and resilient and thinks he can do anything he wants to do which is cute. But he's a total alpha male which I usually don't do very well with. Like I just met him and we already bump heads a lot. I dunno. We'll see what happens. I enjoyed our date. I would go out with him again.
My 2nd date was with my crush
. He is such a sweetheart. Just a total gentleman, I mean he opens and closes all doors, pulls out chairs and all that. It kinda caught me off guard... most guys don't do that these days. Anyway, it was nice date. We actually talked a lot, about a bunch of different things. I like the fact that though you can tell he's very confident, he's not flashy and arrogant. He's got a quiet sort of confidence. He doesn't brag or namedrop which is really endearing, cuz so many people do that up here. The date was nice, and we even started to set up plans to hang out later this week, but it ended kinda awkwardly. He was dropping me off, and... sigh...
... he leaned in for a kiss and I gave him the cheek. I dunno why... it just felt like the right thing to do at the time. I dunno, he's cute, but I just wasn't thinking about kissing him at the moment
. Anyway, he texted me a little bit later to let me know that that had never happened to him before. I told him I didn't know what he was talking about, and he was like "that cheek turn move", and I STILL didn't know what he was talking about, it was really awkward... cuz like I said... I didn't even think twice when I did it lol. I didn't put two and two together until MUCH later and I was like FRICK *facepalm* he was trying to REALLY kiss me! Doh! But you know, I dunno if I would do it differently if I could go back though. I feel like my momma taught me better than to go around kissing boys all willy-nilly.
Oh well. I hope he calls.
The thing is, I like him and I think he's cute, but I didn't really get any butterflies. It was just a date with a cute guy. Still he's one of those guys who you really don't pass up if you can get them. Honestly, he's an INSANELY good catch on paper. Really fit... impeccable resume and I think he might come from money. He's really smart too, just from talking to him I think he might even be brilliant... and he's also very hardworking which is a good combination. I honestly think he's gonna be very wealthy in a few yrs.... If I was looking for that type of lifestyle he would be a really good look, but that type stuff matters less to me these days. My priorities are shifting.
That's one thing I do like about being single and dating around, you have the opportunity to really sort out what's important to you long term, and figure out what you want and what you need....
