I am also proud of myself for not limiting myself after meeting the first guy from the site either. I had a great first date with the "shrink," (even though he is not an actual shrink, we'll call him that because it's easier than typing out psychologist). I had a semi disasterous date with the doctor. I mean, this guy wore Armani to the bar and drove a Mercedes convertible. WAY too flashy for someone who is only a resident. His whole air screamed "I do this a lot and my sole purpose of the evening is the pour tequila down your throat to make it easier for you to make out with me." Needless to say, number deleted.
I had a great second date with the shrink, but perhaps having him meet my friends, the parents and spend over 24 hours with me was not a proper second date of choice. I have not heard from him since Thursday and I refuse to call, text, or contact him in anyway. I left it at, call me if you have time, and that is how I am going to leave it. I know that he was moving into his new apartment and let's face it, men are not the best multi-taskers, but c'mon! No contact for three days screams one of two things to me. Either he's not interested, or he is a juggler. He's good looking so I am sure that being on an online dating site he has the pick of the liter. I mean, I am attractive and I know how many emails I get a day, and guys don't show their desperation for a relationship of any type half as much as girls do. So I've decided if I don't hear from him by Wednesday, I'm just going to let it go. I need to stop analyzing why he hasn't called and focus on guys who are fighting for my attention.
My meeting tonight was sudden. He emailed this morning, we exchanged some conversation and poof it was, how about meeting me for a drink. It was nice that he wasted no time to ask me out on a date. Perhaps this is what the book "The List" was talking about. They say that when you set off a guys alarm, whether it be physically or mentally, he will call within 24 hours of receiving your number and he will ask you out on a date within another 24 hours. Well this guy received my number and asked me out within 12! Ballsy? yes. Cute? yes. And don't worry, I know I read too many self help books! It has become more of a hobby.
Though almost ten years older than myself, I was pleasantly surprised. He could be mistaken for someone of the same age. Tall, clean shaven baby face, blue eyes, and nice smile. More lanky than what I have typically dated but his gentleman charm was just as attractive. Opening the door, slyly paying for the drinks when I was in the restroom so there was not awkward, "let's split it," discussion, walking me to my car door. However, I am interested to see what he does for fun.
He is an attorney. He seems calm and collected in a boyish, in experienced way. Definitely a button up and tie kind of guy. Not quite the assertive fancy dinner party type, but not quite the outdoor, rock concert going type either. Almost too collected in knowing what his goals are in life and ready to start a family and have the white picket fence life than wanting to meet someone to have a few years of fun with. However, great conversation, with a multitude of topics and questions still left to cover, and definitely second date worthy. Who knows, I judge, and perhaps I am judging this one too quickly. Only time will tell.
Well I am going to get ready for bed, settle in with another self help book, and try not to wonder why "shrink" has yet to contact me nor wonder if he will!
