Anyway, today's date was with The Schoolboy. For the record, he is NOT a school boy; he is my age. He once called himself a school boy though and I can't think of a better nickname for him at the moment.
We met on Chapel Street. While I was waiting for him to arrive, two girls walked by and one said to the other with a touch of the indignant and a chip on her shoulder "I am like 10 years younger than he is, how dare he blow me off!" I laughed out loud. Yes, how dare he not be interested in you! I am shocked and appalled by his audacity - to not like you, you
Anyway, The Schoolboy and I enjoyed a cup of
At first I thought it was going to be horrible, that he wasn't going to assist me in making conversation and leave all the work up to me. And I cannot stand for that. But soon we were swapping stories about sport and footy. We talked about fashion (headbands on men are not ok - we agree). We talked about weird rules that we have (he only watches R or G movies for example. I, well, you all know my rules and regulations).
Seriously though, I want to play with his hair.
I love weird rules like that. I don't shave my legs on the first 3 dates - that's one of my weird ones!
ReplyDeletei always want to pick lint off people on the metro. But maybe that just makes me a monkey...
ReplyDeleteHaha, you are so NOT a playa! But if you feel like one, good for you, enjoy it! I am really glad that you are keeping your options open, i.e. maximized. It sounds like you and Schoolboy had nice chemistry - what a nice way for a first date to play out. You really have a knack for drawing out the goofy and irreverent in guys - that's a tough thing to do! You must make people feel at ease very quickly.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love Ruby's rule. Not shaving your legs for three dates means you are "Schick-blocked" and will resist the temptation to hop into the sack prematurely!
It's been a long time since I dated, but I had a difficult time dating more than one boy at once. Looking back, I wish I'd been better at it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a nice time with Schoolboy. Weird rules are good!
Ruby - Hah, nice! Have you seen the How I Met Your Mother where Robin tries to shave her legs with butter?
ReplyDeleteEv Rev - exactly! You get me!
Susan - I just don't want to hurt them! Thank you! That is such a nice thing to say!
Chris - It's hard! What are some of yours, Chris?
YES. Headbands on men are so NOT ok. Somebody tell that to the Italians please!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to be a player that's fine by me...I enjoy reading about other people's dating adventures now that I'm an old married fart.
Is there going to be a second date!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteWhere do you meet all these guys? The one online site I'm currently frequenting just brings me really scary men. All your guys seem cute and quirky.
ReplyDeleteKyle - honestly, what's with headbands on men? it's NOT a good look...
ReplyDeleteBecky - I don't know! He didn't say anything about a second date...
Megs - They're not all nice and quirky...
yes but some of them are. I don't even get nice and quirky like ever. I mean maybe 1 in like 50 and it takes me a really long time to get to 50.
