Just a short continuation of the story of my date with DC right before Christmas. After, Logan Tavern, we went back to my place, put in Garden State (also one of his favorite movies) and proceeded to yada, yada, yada.
Afterwards, as we lay in bed chatting, we had one of the funniest conversations I’ve had in awhile. I think it started with him telling me about the on-line business he’s trying to start to help burgeoning artists promote their work. From there, it somehow devolved into a random conversation about playing an April Fool’s Day joke to create and sell a new product, “Fancy Pants,” – fashionable, one-time use underwear. We’d market it by promoting how dirty it is to reuse normal underwear, even after washing, and the convenience of never having to launder undergarments again. We imagined the sheep of America flocking to this new convenience product like those Ziplock throw-away plastic containers. Americans are so wasteful!
So, I’m into this guy. But, he’s 22, lives in Brooklyn and our lives are seemingly going in different directions. Nor do I have any inclination that he feels the same way. I’m keeping my expectations low. Or trying too. In those rare moments when I actually connect with someone, it’s hard for me to get them off my mind. I set myself up to be sad and disappointed. Damn feelings!
In the meantime, my first date extravaganza continues!
DA – met him at the December 4H through a friend and we had coffee. Good guy, successful, hosted a fun New Year’s Eve party, but no connection.
SM – met New Year’s Eve, we had a nice dinner, good conversation, went back to his place with what turned out to be a terrible movie. The funny thing about him is that we have good conversations on the phone, but in person, it’s more of a struggle. He’s just a little too “DC” for me (i.e. good guy, successful, but a bit dull).
NJ – a guy I met awhile ago who is a server at a local bar and ended up going on a date with a friend that went nowhere. He’s super hot and I turned up the flirtation when I ran into him when I got back from Christmas. I ended up back at his place (ooops), but it was tame. We’re supposed to have dinner this week, but I’m not sure if it’s going to happen. Like many hot guys, he has issues.
RB – Another cute guy I met through 4H. Maybe a movie this week….to be continued.
