The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Wine and the Zoo
Sunday I went out on my first Plentyoffish.com date. I contact this guy based on his photo. He was drinking at the zoo! How fun is that? I had gone to a similar event in my old town with the Ex and it was a lot of fun so I had a great opener! He replied back and asked me out. That’s how easy it was. We set the date last week I think on Thursday, mind you I set up my account on Wednesday! We didn’t talk too much between setting the date on Thursday and finalizing things on Sunday. I really like that! He wasn’t breathing down my neck he wasn’t all rush rush tell me everything like a lot of the guys on POF. He is a year older than me, taller and has brown hair. He is also a bigger man not fat but not skinny. Pretty much my type also the opposite of my Ex. He suggested dinner in a trendy part of town and then going to the Zoo for their Xmas light display.
It was his second choice cause his first was coming out my part of town and doing something close to my place so I felt comfortable and safe. I told him I was more courageous than that and we could go into the city. Still he was already charming and winning points. I was excited that he suggested something original and seasonally themed.
We met up for dinner but the place we had planned to go is closed on Sundays so we changed restaurants at the last moment. It was a great decision; this little Italian Bistro was lively. Candlelight and wine with soft Jazz music, and fresh flowers on the tables. It wasn’t crowed and had a great selection of food and wine! We both ordered a glass of red wine. Skipped the salads and soups and both ordered specials. He had something with Veal and I tried the lobster Ravioli, even though I had never had lobster and I’ve been told to never order lobster on a first date. I was feeling daring and bold. OMG the food was fantastic the wine was perfect. And the conversation didn’t lag. There were no side glances no second thoughts of doubt in my head. I was there up front and present the whole date. I laughed I flirted I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
It was the standard conversation but the fact that I can remember it is what wows me. We had a lot in common. He is in the same life situation as me. Early 20’s figuring out what he stands for, what he wants, recovering from the blow from the economy and just venturing into the world of online dating. I was his first! He talked about real issues and didn’t stare at my chest didn’t even bring up my chest size!
But I think the thing that captured me the most was at the zoo with the Xmas songs playing he sang along and didn’t make fun of me singing along too! It was fun. We talked a little about everything with ease. I didn’t put my foot in my mouth once. When it was time to go we hugged and parted ways. He sent me a random text yesterday that just said smile ;) it totally put a big grin on my face!
Way better than my date on Friday!!!
