After having my 'friend' make those really mean comments prior to my date, I wasn't really enthused about my evening. Still, I got all girlified up and was having a good hair moment. Got to the bar/restaurant at 7:35. Wonderful cozy place that has lots of sofas, amazing artwork and a dj mixing some really cool tunes. I grab a sofa and wait. He calls at 7:45, he apologizes profusely that he was stuck in traffic due to some sports event in Midtown. (I was irked) He tells me to go ahead and order a drink and he'll make it up to me. (Yeah, right) So I order a green tea and sit back and do some people watching. I laugh at the smokers who will go out in 15 degree windchill weather to smoke a nasty cancer stick. "Paul" shows up. (Can we say eyecandy?) He's grinning. He sits down beside me and we start talking. I realize that I have met him before at a business function a few years ago. He tells me the picture I sent him didn't do me justice. (I take the compliment with a grain of salt.) TOTAL gentleman. Ordered for me. He doesn't drink at all. Doesn't mind if I do (but I stick to my green tea). Conversation flowed. There was some chemistry. He even asked when we'd have our next date. He wanted to know all about the "T" situation and volunteered to kick his ass for me. (Sweet, but no thanks) He said that he understood that I was still in a vulnerable place and that he'd like to get to know me further - he was patient and a good guy. Then he picks up his phone and calls someone. (I'm sitting there thinking "WTF?") Then he hands me the phone and says "This is Leah, I used to date her - talk to her" Leah tells me he's an amazing guy and very respectful and gentlemanly. (That's a first - I had made a joke about references) He gave me a wonderful hand massage - his hands were magical. Touched my hair/face some. I was enjoying the touch. The couple facing us about 8 ft away were practically dry-humping and we were laughing about it. He said that he's an amateur photographer and he'd love to take some pics of me sometime. (Rolling eyes, we'll see about that...) He is a chocoholic and just about fainted when I told him I hate chocolate. He has a major sweet tooth (but it doesn't show on those washboard abs). He perused the dessert bar and brought back two chocolate desserts - and brought a side of whipped cream for me and fed it to me. (Sweet) Close to midnight, it was time to head home. "Paul" helped me put on my coat, held my arm when we went down the stairs and even opened/shut my car door for me. Kiss on the cheek and a hug. I don't think I could have dreamed up a better-paced evening... Now we'll see how his follow-through is. |

Yes, we'll see how the follow-through is. He works a lot and he said that a lot of women have had issues with his schedule. There are a couple of other things that could be potential issues, but I'm keeping an open mind. The ball is in his court.

The last time I had a really good first date, he ended up being a totaly nutjob. He called me a few nights later around 11pm demanding I come over to his house for... He was like Jekyll and Hyde. So, we'll just sit back and wait to see what happens...

It was just one date. As nice as it was, no matter what happens in the future, it was a wake-up call for me. I shouldn't be awestruck when a man treats me so well.

sounds like one of those evenings that make it worth it being a girl.

It does me well to hear you had a nice time. I know it was just one date and all that, but it was a nice date. You seem to have the most unfortunate luck sometimes, and I always wish for good things, so when something nice happens it makes me feel like my wishes are getting through.

I always remember that the bad/horrific dates always offer comedic material... I try to look on the bright side.

I always enjoy being a girl... wouldn't want to try being a boy for a split second.

yes sit back and wait then... Man sounds like you and me are in the same boat. cept you are willing to get back out there..I'm afraid to try going out with ppl now. Nothing good seems to come of it. maybe I'm just saying that because I've been bruised recently.

He's already called. Asked me if I was free Thurs or Friday night - that he'd like to take me to dinner, that he'd been thinking about how much he enjoyed spending time with me... And he asked if I was going to be in town for the holidays... ;)

Yep. I cannot recall in my dating history a guy calling in less than 24 hours saying he wanted to see me again... Of course, I'm already overanalyzing things. Therapist and I will have plenty to discuss on Monday...

Absolutely... I told him he got major bonus points for the exceedingly good manners...
And the fact he is a massage therapist - I have a thing for hands... (I didn't tell him that - yet!)

He knows about the rape and he did it to reassure me that he is a good guy. (How many guys do you know that would offer up an ex to give him kudos?) It was a spur of the moment thing in response to something directly I said about references...
I'm friends with most of my exes - so it's not an issue for me.
*He called me last night, but I had gone to bed early... :)
