Date #12 Man or Minivan?
Date #12 Man or Minivan?
Yay! Finally I was able to get a second date. I was starting to think that there was something wrong with me. I’m a serial first dater. Even if the first dates go really well sometimes I just don’t hear from the guy again. What gives?
So even though I didn’t exactly have chemistry with Badly Styled and Boring, he had something none of the other guys had – reliability! He called when he said he was going to call. He never cancelled dates. He wasn’t flakey. And I’ll probably go out on a third date with him for the same reasons
Now, I know reliability is something I usually look for in a washing machine or possibly a tea kettle, however, the more guys I that date, the more I realize that reliability is an essential criteria.
I don’t want a guy who keeps me waiting by the phone (although I should point out that ‘waiting by the phone’ figurative, as I have been far too busy to do that). I don’t want a guy who keeps me guessing whether or not he’s going to ask me out again. I don’t want a guy to ‘forget’ that he’s made a date with me.
Do I sound like a horrible bitch for wanting a guy to follow up on his word? Are my expectations out of line?
I went out with Badly Styled and Boring again because he had the balls to ask me out again. He had the gumption to follow through. Who dares wins.
We went to posh Chinese restaurant. Excellent meal. We talked about lighthearted things over dinner. At the end of the date when we kissed, he put his hand on my breast. Can you believe I actually moved his hand away as if I were some prude?!? He’s really a nice guy, but there are no stomach flips. No butterflies. No weak-at-the-knee action.
As pondered by the girls from Sex in the City:
SAMANTHA I totally understand. You're not getting the stomach flip.
MIRANDA Which is really just a fear of losing the guy.
CARRIE Maybe I'm just not used to being with someone who doesn't do the ever-seductive withholding dance
MIRANDA But there is an upside to being with a guy with no surprises. Steve is completely predictable but that's one of the things I love about him. He's just so comfortable and safe.
CARRIE Are you dating a man or a minivan?
I wish I had the answer to that one.
