| Date Recap with "R" |
| 07.09.05 (7:06 am) [edit] |
|
Yesterday, I met "R" for drinks at a Mexican place he suggested at 6pm. He was about 10 mins late (no apology). First impression: no sparks but courteous. He wanted to sit on the patio. It was hot (I felt my hair frizzing by the minute) and it was REALLY loud. Hard to have a conversation when you have to keep leaning into the table and yelling. Now, it's been quite a while since I've dated a latin man. What stayed in my mind was the steamy, sultry-esque vibe. What I forgot is how they loooove to talk about themselves. For 2 hours, we discussed his stereo system (at great lengths), his dream house layout (down to the shower nozzles), how he hates prissy people, and his musical tastes (although he did ask me what music I liked - which was merely an intro into his discussion). For the fashionistas, I was in a pair of white Calvin Klein wide-legged cropped jeans, an aqua v-neck t-shirt, a long aqua scarf as a belt, and nude-colored mules. He gave me a hard time about not drinking alcohol with him. I had water with a lemon and told him that I do drink, just not when I'm driving. He had 3-4 beers (nice to see he's not a lush). We had chips and shared some chicken quesedillas. He spoke spanish to the wait staff whenever he could, but was quite courteous and insisted on ordering for me. I got the impression that he's about flashy stuff and not about a lot of substance. He threw in how much his watch cost and said that if it was lost, he'd file a claim against it on his homeowners insurance (when I said that it would cause his rates to go up more than the watch - he completely discounted what I said). He has the high-end Beemer with the cliche BMW keychain and commented that he almost got a Porsche Boxster for a weekend car but his car insurance rate would double. He's not into marriage but also thinks it's inappropriate for a single woman to be friends with a married man. (Considering some of my closest friends are married men...) He walked me to my car, gave me a hug and suggested we get together for a concert downtown tonight. I said for him to give me a call. (He's going with a group of his friends and I'm not ready to do the whole "hang out with the friends" scene. I also would prefer something quieter so we could actually get to know each other.) I know that the harpies will say that I'm completely dissing him. But, I think that if he would not focus on trying to impress so much, he might be a nice guy to spend time with. |

I don't think you dissed him. I think you called him for what he is : shallow. he sounds like the kind of guy who only wants to see if you "do" anything for him, like arm candy. don't waste your time on either of these losers!

Unless a guy does something offensive, I usually give him a 2nd chance. Guys get nervous on dates sometimes. I'm told that I often intimidate guys, so perhaps he was trying to impress me. Maybe he'll drop the superficial persona. At least he wasn't drunk or suggested going back to my place or pawing me. (Considering the recent string of contenders, he's a gem. LOL)

I'll give him a 2nd shot but NOT with his friends (more oppty for grandstanding). On the phone he was quite sweet and thoughtful - so I'm hoping I'll meet that guy next time.

I know... But I figured I'd gotten girlified and all, might as well see how it turned out.

I don't think you dissed him, either. He seems a little self absorbed from your description. I think your intuition will do you good here. I know I can't even count the number of times I acted stupid on dates....and some of those women were REALLY HOT!!!! Fortunately, fate overruled my manly moronic ways and I still ended up with perfection! ( I will have to let my wife read this and get some brownie points). She gave me about a hundred second chances after making an ass of myself. That's true love!
