Had a really fun first date with Alex yesterday!
Met him on OkC. I really didn’t plan on meeting anyone any time soon… in part because I feel like giving up, and in part because of all the travelling coming up.
He seemed like a normal and fairly good looking guy who likes sci-fi, and was very straight forward about setting up a date.
I met up with Julianna and her friend Shotty(sp?) for sushi, and they dropped me off at Soho Billiards for my first date like parents dropping off their kid first day at school.
I like how tall Alex is. 6’1. Perfect height. He is 41, but he is skinny and fairly youthful looking. There were no surprises in how he looked..he looked like the photos…maybe a bit cuter.
He wore a black leather jacket, jeans, and a blue plaid shirt.
I thought he was gonna be boring, because he was very concise on his messaging prior to the date. His profile was brief too. Said he had a great sense of humour, but there were no hints of that in his profile.
Turned out he really was a lot of fun. He was great at carrying a conversation, and he was a good listener. He was pretty good at pool, but he tried really hard to let me win. I was so bad at it that day for some reason.
He ended up playing with his left hand, with only one eye open, while standing on one leg. Haha.
I kept complaining about the game. How would you change it? He asked. I said, I would hit the balls directly, instead of hitting the white ball. So he let me do that 😀
Still he won. But we had a great time, and laughed so much. And all is not lost. I spotted two foosball tables, and we played 5 games of foosball – and I won! hahaha
He paid for everything. I was surprised it was $40.
So I offered to pay for Pour House. He was very polite and didn’t order much. I added some food and it came to $70ish plus tips and such. $86 I think. But that’s ok. (Just that the food tasted awful and the waiter was a bit rude.)
I really like him. And I want to be an equal couple.
He is an INFP-T, but he didn’t seem very introverted at all.
I like that he likes sci-fi, self-improvement, and has a good sense of humour. He likes trying new things. He has a youthful presence. He seems very gentle and sweet. Oh and very blue eyes…based on the photos. It’s hard to tell in person because we were in somewhat dark places all throughout the night.
I am a bit concerned that he has no high nor steady income. At 41, almost 42…he hasn’t got this sorted….
Sometimes he says incredibly stupid things about science…and I wonder just how smart he is. I’ve yet to find out.
His ideas of ventures are very small and limited. That can change though.
I wonder how talented, smart, and sincere he is. I wonder if we can be a power couple. I wonder if we can be a sweet couple.
He told me the plot of a sci-fi story he had in mind. There was a boy and a dog. I asked if the dog can be a giant rabbit. He was pretty good at going along with my “plot twists” on his story haha.
He walked me to the skytrain, and just as we arrived, he pulled me in for a kiss. That was pretty hot.
We kissed for a while. I had longed to kiss someone for months….finally! It was so nice. Exactly what I wanted. <3
We kissed passionately for probably 10, 15 minutes. The skytrain had shut down. Probably during our kiss haha.
I had to take a cab home. He shouted at the driver, “Drive safe!” So cute.
I got home at 1:30am. I was so turned on and filled with hormones I couldn’t sleep until sometime past 4am. I had two extremely good orgasms..and another one today.
Today I felt exhausted. Not sure if it’s because of the raging hormones.
He messaged me in the evening and invited me to his place on Wednesday. He’ll cook for me! I asked what, he said, scallops and bacon of course! I was so surprised that he remembered that being my fave!
Part of me am so worried about all the ways this might not work out….but part of me very excited. There’s potential at least!
Oh and I didn’t very clearly state that I have alopecia in my most recent profile. I just wanted a tame profile without saying too much, and that means saying just “alopecian” instead of going into details. It also meant removing all the fun photos, leaving just photos of me sitting in restaurants, etc. I don’t like having to have the alopecia conversation later on..but…that’s just the way it is.
One thing I learned about him is that he was a foster kid growing up. He had 3 brothers, and they are all foster kids. I’m interested to find out more.t
I really like that he doesn’t shy away from expressing himself. He was like, “I can’t wait to see you!” “I’m so excited!”
And he’ll download a sci-fi movie for us to watch. How amazing is that?
