...is that you never quite know what the other person is thinking. NSFH and I have plans for Friday. I'm feeling confused/excited/nervous. He e-mailed me promptly today when I confirmed the plans, asked what I wanted to do, and said he would be willing to drive the hour from his hotel to my apartment if I wanted to go out around here. Does he want a booty call that badly or is there something more? Or am I just reading too much into this?
No matter what, it will be a jam packed weekend of dating. Here's the breakdown on the match.com guys I'm seeing.
NG -- He and I went to the art museum last weekend. I was not really attracted to him, but had a really nice time with him. He's super smart, funny, and has lived/traveled all over the world. He's also a violin player. How cool is that? He had me laughing so loud in the museum other people were staring. We definitely spent more time talking than really looking at any art. We wound up in the museum cafe and talked for about another hour before I had to go. I decided to give him another date because of his personality, but I'm not sure there's any spark there. I also know that can come with time. He e-mailed me and suggested wine while watching the sunset and then going out on the town Saturday night. I agreed.
RM -- He and I went to dinner and drinks last weekend and are going out on this Sunday. I also wound up staying at his apartment...yes, overnight. He and I had gotten to know each other over e-mail pretty well, so I figured we would hit it off. We certainly did. We spent about 2 1/2 hours at dinner, he bought a bottle of wine (and let me pick it out), insisted we get dessert (it was really good -- I'm glad I listened), and then suggested we go for more drinks. That turned into another 2 hours of talking, laughing, and sitting very close to one another. I wasn't planning to go home with him, but when he offered after 20 minutes of making out in my car, I figured, what the hell. We stayed up talking until about 4 a.m. He was incredibly sweet and caring and I dunno...I just felt really comfortable with him. I forgot I was on a first date. He's very smart and interesting. He's actually not an American and just moved to the states about nine years ago. That has made for some really interesting conversations. I love meeting all kinds of people. He asked if I usually date Indian guys and I said I've dated them in the past, but I don't purposely go seek them out. He and I decided I'm a passive Indo-phile. We thought that was really funny at 3 a.m. The only problems? I'm not as attracted to him in person as I was just seeing his pictures, but I am still attracted to him. I'm also really not used to dating guys around my age. That's the problem with NG, too. It's just weird. I like guys who are more established in their careers/lives/decorating abilities (i.e. no college furniture, which, of course, isn't really fair considering my couch looks like I shot my grandmother's drapes and I still have half the same furniture I had in college).
I am also trying to set up a date for Sunday afternoon with another match guy, C. C is older, 11 years older than me, and seems to have his stuff together. He just finished redecorating part of his house. We've really hit it off over e-mail -- he loves that I like to drink beer. Beer is still my alcohol of choice, so any guy who doesn't mind that I like Miller Lite and make no apologizes for it, wins points with me.
Now, I just have to figure out how to fit all this dating in....
