ITE: Melo goes on 2 dates |
|
|
So, I've been talking to about 6 or 8 people regularly on this dating website I've been on. And this week two of them decided to ask me out on a date. They were both super fun to chat with, so I figured, why not?
So, on Thursday, I meet with this guy name Stuart. It's not a romantic date or anything, we had originally just planned to go on an adventure to find this really great pizza place called Mesa. We hit it off really well, and decided that since both of us were relatively short of cash--pay day wasn't until Friday/Saturday--that we'd rent a few comedies from the library and go to his place to watch them. We chose his place because I'm living with my parents. We decide to get "Hamlet 2" because it looked like it might be funny. (Terrible, terrible movie, by the way. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.) And then we watched an old Weird Al flick called "UHF" or something. Great, great movie. We ordered pizza(we each paid half, which is something I'm a fan of. I hate people paying for me.), hung out with his roommate and smoke. All in all, it was a great time. Definitely someone I'll hang out with again. Not in a romantic setting--this is sort of our unspoken agreement, it seems. And I don't have a problem with that. So yeah, great guy, great time, definitely would fit in with my group of friends.
Then, today I had a date with this guy named Jacques. He seemed like a really fun guy when we chatted. And for the most part, he is pretty cool. First off, when I meet him, he's like literally the same height as me. I'm really short, only five feet two inches. I'm not terribly vain, so it's not a deal breaker or anything, but it was odd. We went out to a more upscale place called "Atlas". (Similar in 'class' to Olive Garden, I suppose. But dinner is more expensive. Averaging $20-30 a plate.) I suggested it because I hadn't been there and I had a $15 gift card for it. He seemed a little upset that I wanted to pay for my share, but I wasn't going to argue and I let him pay the bill. (Lunch was really cheap. Like $18 so my coupon covered most of it anyway. not that it matters i suppose.) We decide to go for a walk. We walk along the river just chatting. I notice my shoes are giving me a blister, and think nothign of it other than I should have worn different flats. We chat. It's not the greatest conversation, but it's interesting. He decided we should sit for a bit. I notice my ankle is covered in blood. (My shoes have honest to god never given me blisters before and I wear them all the time. So I'm not sure what's upw ith that.) We keep walking, but head back in a circle. Blah blah blah, anyway, long story short. It was boring. It was potentially really romantic, but for some reason I just wasn't in to him. I mean, there were times he'd try to sit close and I'd just lean the other way. I felt bad, but not bad enough to actually like try to hug him or anything. We ended the date with an awkward handshake and an I'll talk to you later. This is me saying it and doing. He was trying to ask when the next time we'd hang out was. I feel kind of bad, but in the end not really.
So yeah. Two dates. Two different outcomes.
I dunno what to think. LOL
