Lunch Dates

The people I have met in this city. I swear to you, I went through 4 years of college and honestly only went on 2 dates. The first one was freshmen year to Chiptloe, and his brother drove. So, really, honestly, I'm not quite sure if I consider that a date anymore- mostly just embarrassing for him and I to admit that it actually happened. The second guy I more or less dated too me rock climbing, which was perfect for me and so much fun. But in 4 years, I went on 2 dates. I have been in the tri state area now for 14 days, and already went on a date. Maybe its the water here or just simply the fact that I am getting older and more confident in myself as well as the boys around me maturing into men (FINALLY! Took long enough...). It was simple, un-dramatic (aka friends getting in the way and inserting the opinion) I did this one all on my own.

He is the life guard at my aunts pool. Met him on Monday and today I went back to throw around the water polo ball- back in the day I played for the club team at my high school- but I learned that our team played totally wrong but not a shocker, theres not much polo down in the south. After we played for awhile, he asked if I was hungry- which of course I was, I am always hungry- and he took me out to sushi. Easy as that- no drama, no worrying, just casual- what every girl wants to happen. So with that- my dating bubble in NYC has been burst. Bring it on boys.

But just a side note about the boy- Totally guido- Russian Jew- and every stereotype that we have about them, is 100% true. Then again, there are stereotypes for a reason. But he asked me before we went to lunch, "Do you think I need gel in my hair?" What kind of question is that? Your hair looks the same with or without gel- just when you put gel in it, you look like you just got out of the shower. Other than that weird question- he was very nice and was extremely int-rested in my travels up to the city and job hunts. Who knows if we will go out again, time will tell...

Time seems to hold all secretes now doesnt it? Time knows when I will get a job, time knows if i will go out on another date, time even knows what I'm having for dinner.....Oh good old time...

Peace, Love and Dates,
