Date one this past week was with Mach 1 - nice man, a bit younger than me. Funny and interesting. Funnier still is that he proposes we meet at a local restaurant. And we do. We meet at the bar, have a drink - well, I have a drink, he has ice tea. It was after all, a school day, and if you have ever been to school, you will understand why a drink is necessary. We decide to move to the dining room. Seems like a good idea, right? wrong. As we are being led to our seats, he sees a group of women and immediately asks me to walk with him to the door,
"can I talk to you over here?"
Turns out that one of the women was someone he had been dating a few months back. He felt it would be awkward and wasn't worried about himself but more worried that she might insert herself into our conversation. Makes one wonder what happened there and makes me wish I had paid more attention! I have no idea what she looked like. I might need to have a conversation with her before I get in too deep.
Date two was with Mach 2.. a bit older and a doctor. Why is it that the more prestigious the title, the cheaper the date? Remember the Vegan Lawyer? Subway and the cheap theater- showing movies currently on DVD and PPV? Well, the doc wants to meet at this old place with $2.00 soup. Dinner was $15.00. Big tipper left $5 for the server. Ok, that was nice, but still.... We eat, we chat, he feels queasy so we take a walk outside - get some fresh air. Seems like things are going ok, but apparently not. He suddenly suggests a U-turn back to our cars, and 20 feet later, he asks if I would mind walking back to my car and (he) will meet me there in a few minutes. He has to vomit... W?RUFK?? LOL
I walk. He takes care of business. A few minutes later, he reappears. First time I have ever been on a first date where the man throws up. I'm not sure how to take this, but I also do not believe I will hear from Mach 2 again. He was completely embarrassed and apologetic. And couldn't get away fast enough.
Oh, I am never eating at that place again either.
Date two with Mach 1 is tomorrow. I wonder who we will stumble upon this time.. hmmm.. I think this might also be why I often date out of town.
til next time, and as always,
