"Jeremy"

Herrrrrrrrrrrrrrre we go! "Jeremy"

Alrighty folks, it has been a WHILE but I'm here to report a date I had last night with "Jeremy."

"Jeremy" and I have been talking for a couple of weeks and because of unforeseen circumstances, we were finally able to meet this week. We decided to meet in front of a metro stop and decide from there as where to go. I was running on time, go me!, and thankfully so was the metro. When I popped out of the metro, I received a text saying he was in front of the apple stand; apparently there is a farmers' market every Wednesday evening, who knew! So I looked around for said apple tent and ba-bam, there he was.

He looked exactly like what he looked in pictures, whew! He is just taller than I am with heels on and was pretty cute! He's a skinny guy, but not so much that I felt terribly uncomfortable with my curvaceous bod. We chatted for a bit and decided to check out a new restaurant that has opened up a few weeks ago. As we walked over, I felt pretty comfortable talking with him and not as nervous as I have been with other dates. He was a really positive, happy-go-lucky guy and it showed immediately.

We decided to sit outside and take advantage of the nice weather that the day had presented itself. There was a choice of two outdoor seating areas, so we picked the one further away from the busy street which was perfect. There was a fire pit that we sat near and the sun was just past the other side of the building so it wasn't in our eyes. We opened up the extensive drink menu and my indecisive self had a hard time picking the right drink. Luckily, we had a great, patient waitress who helped us narrow down our choices.

Once we ordered our drinks, conversation began. It went great. We had majored in the same thing in undergrad and had lots of stories to exchange. Everything flowed effortlessly from topic to topic and there were very few awkward, silent moments. He was funny, witty, and a very interesting individual; I was quite impressed. After a while, I started thinking, "This is a really nice guy. I wonder if he's too nice for me because I know sometimes I can be a down-right bitch."

We got another round of drinks and decided to split the sushi appetizer which was DELICIOUS! We're both in the same sushi boat in that we've had it a few times, but are still new to it and don't always know what to order. You could say when it comes to sushi, we're both fish out of water, ba-dum-shhhh. Ok, I'll stop. Conversation continued to go great and I was really impressed with how awesome this guy is as an individual. However (the more pleasant "but,"), I couldn't tell if he would make a better friend or if things would go well dating wise between us. He was really awesome, but I wasn't quite sure if there was the right chemistry between us. I was physically attracted to him and personality wise I thought he was hilarious, but I wasn't sure if he is the right balance for me. Other than that, he is a pretty cool dude.

We decided to get the check and head on out. He immediately swiped for the check when it was delivered to our table and I was thinking, "Whoa there killer. Do I have a guy for you to teach him how to be aggressive as you were just now," aka, "Dave" the worst date ever. Anyways, we both stopped by the restrooms which were conversation pieces in of itself. They had tvs mounted in the mirrors and the coolest hand-dryers I've ever seen. We crossed the street to the metro where we hugged goodbye and chatted a bit about seeing each other again. I said "So, we'll keep in touch?" and he said "Yea, definitely. How does your week look next week?"  I replied with, "Very open and flexible!" So we said goodbye and parted ways.

Overall, it was a really nice date. So nice that I really don't have much of a story to tell you other than..... it was a really nice date. I hope to see him again once more and see where it leads to!! I'll keep ya posted my fellow swimmers!
