    Had my first date from OKC tonight. He wasn't a serial killer, and the conversation was great, but there was just no chemistry between us. I mean, there was nothing wrong with him, but... I dunno. I don't think he was feeling it, either.

    If he wants to meet again, I think I'll say yes just because sometimes you don't click with someone immediately off the bat and then you do later. I did have a good time, but it all felt very platonic.

    I took a girl out for coffee not long ago and it was like this because I was so nervous about it not being awkward and just keeping the conversation going that I really didn't say much of substance at all.

    Whoops!

    Ugh, this always happens with me. I think people generally come away from the first meeting with me thinking I'm some kind of dull weirdo.

    That's the thing, we actually had a really good conversation. I could really see us being friends, y'know? I just felt no desire to jump his bones. It's not like he's not attractive or anything. It's just one of those things, I guess.

    there's totally a difference! It's like "ugh, this weirdo probably spends all her time making star trek quilts" and "gah, this weirdo might stab me with her homemade lightsaber at any second, but she knows so much about thermodynamics. enticing!"

    generally I figure out whether or not I'd want to sleep with someone pretty soon after I meet them, yeah

    I can judge whether or not I'd want to sleep with someone fairly quickly

    I don't typically want to instantly jump their bones though

    that's one thing, but pure visceral attraction is another.

    Even then I've definitely felt that chemistry very quickly after meeting someone. Doesn't strike me as unusual at all.

    Well, not literally want to jump their bones, but if it's a date, then I'm already considering whether I can see myself wanting to get physically involved at some point. It's usually something I can figure out pretty quickly, but like I said, I'm probably going to see him again because sometimes it doesn't happen right away.

    Also I don't see the problem with just having him be a new friend? Making new friends is awesome.

    Oh, there's no problem with being friends. As long as he and I are on the same page about the attraction thing. So, I guess we'll see.

    Yep

    Its not a regular thing but generally after about a 2-5 minute conversation I start thinking what I'd like to do to them and get all distracted and flustered and/or go into Cheeky Smile mode

    I'm sure it's quite amusing from the other person's perspective, but yeah it happens

    I had an interview up in Seattle today, so I was wearing some nice business casual clothes. After the interview I pick up my ex-girlfriend from work and we drive over to Ballard, get a quick bite to eat, and then stop at a place for some gelato. I take her back to her house, we talk for a bit, I take a shit, and then drive down to Tacoma to meet this girl for a date.

    I wind up driving all over Point Defiance to waste time, because this girl is running extremely late and doesn't show up until about 9:30. When she finally arrives, Anthony's is closed, so I tell her to get in my car and we'll go find a restaurant that's still open.

    II drive over to the Ram, but the damn place closes at 10:30, which was in a few minutes, so....shit...now what. I get back in the car and, basically, drive all over the fucking place, not knowing where I'm going, and with her jibber jabbing nonsense in my ear the whole time. It was fun.

    Suddenly, I see a Shari's and out of desperation decide that this must be fate. We spend the meal deep in serious conversation about relationship type things, with her feeling judged and me wondering why I'm not more worried about the things this girl is telling me. She says something like, "Life is about taking risks..." and I think, "Shit. Why not. I could be wrong."

    I'm skipping a bunch of stuff in order to get to the end, like, how I loathe that she's a smoker and repeatedly tell her to quit this fucking second whenever she lights one up.

    So, we get back in the car and head over to Point Definace where she's parked. The conversation is better...more enjoyable. We generally seem to enjoy communicating with each other, in addition to the non-stop groping.

    After arriving back at her car, we settle into what will be, basically, a long, drawn-out conversation about sex and sexual related topics. So, she watches porn, has some sort of "device" in her vagina, and uses KY to masturbate. Okay, great. We kiss and fondle each other in the parking lot for over an hour. I'm simply pleased that I can pick her up with ease and that the size of her ass doesn't dwarf the size of my hands.

    In parting, she makes one last sexual comment, something about wanting to feel my dick, but I tell her it's too small. We start kissing a little more, I get it hard and allow her an opportunity for a brief "encounter." I guess she enjoyed it.

    As I'm getting in my car, she rolls down her window and says, "Bye, huge!" Hmm. Girls are weird.

    Oh, yeah, I didn't have to pay for anything today and I told her that I didn't want to have sex until at least the third date. That's about it.

    So the girl and I were supposed to meet tomorrow, but I had to cancel since I've got a meeting with a client in the afternoon. I figured she'd suggest Sunday, but she suggested Friday, which works fine for me!

    Then I came back from the wedding a day early, mainly to get some cleaning and tidying done and make myself look good before our date, and when she heard I was in town she ended up coming over for a movie and dinner right off the plane.

    It's the morning after and she just left, but we're meeting up later on today to go hiking.

    Feeling pretty confident I'm off the market, guys!

    Me taking a dump at my ex-girlfriends was actually a topic of discussion. She said, ironically, that's how she feels when I leave her place. I take big, steaming shit on her life and...she has to take a shower or something, I don't know.

    ...plus, it rhymed.
