The Date

Well … what can I say … it wasn’t really a date, more of a pre date. You know the time that you go out and get to know each other a little, see if there are any sparks, swap some stories, and that sort of thing. The evening ends with a hug not a kiss, you agree you should “hang out” again soon but no one ever uses the word date or acts too much like it is one … in case it isn’t.

There were a few fun and funny moments over the course of the evening. At one point he said to me, “Really all I want is to find a girl I can wake up beside in the morning and say, are you as hung over as I am.” I could, and have been that girl I thought. But I wisely didn’t respond with that, instead I said, “You know iDate, you and I could become good friends.” And we clinked glasses. He also offered to buy me beers for the next month in order to help me afford yet another pair of boots I want. I respectfully declined, letting him know that I really need to curb my boot habit for the time being, but what an offer! And finally at one point as I was telling some story he said “Wow, you are so much cooler than I thought you were!” “Umm … thanks … I think” “No that’s not what I meant, I just mean I didn’t know you so I didn’t know you were cool. I am not making this better am I.” “ I know what you are trying to say. And thanks.”

I don’t really know about the spark stuff. I kinda felt it, but I am not sure if he did. He is one of those really nice guys who has lots of friends so it can be difficult to tell if he is just being buddy buddy or if there was something else. I hope we get to go out drinking again, because even if there isn’t anything romantic there, I did have a good time and am always happy to find a new drinking buddy.

So there you have it, the lovely date (or predate) with iDate. More to come … I hope.
