| Chopsticks and Chance |
Ok. So not a bad date. Nothing went horribly wrong, for once. Well except I had to go to the mall to get a black top and ended up getting home when I should have been leaving for the date. I called him and said I was just getting home from work...which I figured was a pretty harmless lie, all things considered. And I only ended up being about 10 minutes late.
So first thing I noticed was that I have at least 3 inches on him and I'm not wearing heels. -5 points. I'd tend to make it more, but it's not his fault. Maybe a bit less if he'd been honest, I swear his profile said 5'8. Other than that, he's a nice looking guy. Typically American, you know...
I'm not going to re-hash every minute but...
Pulling out my chair +5 (so he's back with a clean slate again)
Smile +2 (good teeth)
Eyes? A light variation of brown, I think, although the light was odd in there +1
The obvious trying to check out my tits, flattering but -1 (as the outfit was not conducive)
The fact that it was obvious he liked what he saw +7
However, the "looking deep into my eyes" thing was kind of creepy on a first date...-1 if it had only been once, but it was more than that and made me uncomfortable so -3
For taking me someplace nice that required reservations +5
For staring when I was trying to eat sushi for the first time -1
For the full-on rant about how wonderful lobster is -1
(That would have been more, but he's from Maine, so allowances must be made)
For saying "if you want to" when I offered to help pay -5
And other for saying "if you want to" when I offered to put it on my card -5
He should maybe get points for giving me $40 of a $70 bill but I don't think so.
For the fairly good conversation at my car +2
For not trying to kiss me +3
For a nice hug +1
Props but no points for sneaking in another hug when I said something funny.
All in all, I don't think I want to see him again. I would have, but that check thing was really a red flag. First date, guy pays. Woman politely offers to pay her own share--man adamently refuses or says something along the lines of you can buy me ice cream/dessert.
So he got a+6 (check my math, I suck.) But how do I rate my behavior?
+5 for looking v. cute and stylish with a fitted jean blazer over a black camisole with a green and black "zebra" skirt
-3 for being late
+2 for calling to say I was running late
+5 for keeping conversation going and being funny
-2 for not being able to hold his eyes when I knew he was doing that "look"
-1 for incompetant use of chopsticks
+4 for eating raw fish
+3 for offering to pay
-5 for saying, just as an excuse to get in the car and go, "I really have to potty"
That's a 10 for me...of course :O )
