... so as far as first dates go, the one i had on saturday night was really good. strange and weird but good. and long. i spent twenty-four hours with him. give or take half an hour.

we met at a restaurant. he was late. but most of my friends keep me waiting so i'm used to it. it should have bothered me but it didn't. not the best way to start off with me already making excuses for him. but when he showed up thirty minutes later he apologised said he got stuck in traffic, which was a valid reason because i too got stuck in traffic and i didn't have to drive through the city.

first impression was he is much better looking in real life than in his photos, he's also shorter than expected. he says he's 5'10 but i'm somewhere around 5'10 - 5'11 and i wore flat shoes and was still at least a couple of inches taller than him. not that that's an issue for me... it may be for him though, it does tend to be an issue for a lot of men. we did discuss height at some point in the night and i told him my shoe preference was for sky high stiletto heels and he commented that i was tall enough i didn't need to be any taller, so i have a feeling that if i see him again i'll have to go for flats again. but no. why should i? if i see him again i'll wear whatever i feel like. not going to stop being who i am to win over some man.

anyway... we didn't struggle for conversation. in fact dinner went so well, we decided to head into the city to go to a bar. it was quite early so we went to his house to have a drink before heading out. well the conversation never let up and before we knew it, it was three in the morning and he had to work at midday so we decided to stay in. i did not have sex with him.

well he works for himself (always a plus) and got a call to cancel the midday job. so we just sat around his apartment all day talking.

it was strange though. the night before he seemed really interested. well he actually said that we were a good match. then the next day when i was leaving he seemed less keen. now if i'd slept with him then i would have just thought he's one of those guys and chalked it up as just another one of those nights. but it wasn't. oh well. we did decide that we wanted to see each other again. either way i'm not too fussed. he's a charming and intelligent guy, we had fun together,i like him, but i won't be devastated if i don't see him again.
