Double Date

I highly recommend the following: 2 dates in one night!!!

It worked out perfectly and the best part....I only had to get ready one time!

My first date was happy hour with Chad. We met at a swanky hotel bar downtown. He showed up bearing a gift. It was a pink fanny pack purchased at a knock-off store and still sporting the price tag. I cracked up. Great way to break the ice for a blind date! I had two vodka sodas there and then said I needed to go to dinner to meet up with a guy who is helping me network for work. No questions asked. It worked perfectly!

Well, I showed up to dinner, already fairly tipsy, and at that time remembered that this guy is a Sommelier, aka wine expert. So I'll have to drink at least a glass, if not two, of wine. Oops, that was the part I didn't plan for...and I really wasn't planning on getting drunk on a Monday night.

Well, a delicious seafood dinner and two full glasses of red wine later we decide it's time to call it a night. Thank god. I'm definitely drunk at this point and trying hard to fake sobriety. I'm pretty sure there was a kiss goodnight and off I was home to my place, alone, but satisfied from a full night of dating!

If you are confused about the time line here, I'll just say, that this evening occurred in the very beginning stages of my interaction with Indiana, whom I also told that night that I had networking events to attend. It WAS networking, after all, just not the work-related kind!

Vocabulary is sexy....

Indiana has used the words 'culpable' and 'nebulous' in a sentence AND... has used them correctly. He also knows the difference between 'further' and 'farther.' His magazine subscriptions include Runner's World and The Economist. He always opens my door and thinks the world of his mom. He knows when to tease and when to empathize.

I could really have something here....
