reason #1232480945 why i shouldn't date: Tuesday night.
let's recap.
Joe. 28. retail planner/interior designer for Walgreens Corp. Designs furniture on the side.
Meet, go for drinks. He seems nice enough. Dresses well, can hold a conversation. Two drinks and an hour later, I'm bored and the bar is too loud to talk. So we go to his apartment. I want to see his cat and the furniture he's designed.
Nice apartment. Seriously nice apartment. Two blocks from Union Station, nicely decorated. The furniture he's made is pretty cool, too. I'm moderately impressed. LOVE the cat. It looks like Luci, which makes me miss her. while he makes me a drink, i browse (read: snoop) through his stuff. Excellent liquor collection, great book collection, decent CD collection. A lot of art and design stuff, so we have things to talk about.
then he kisses me. and i'm not really feelin' it. like, there's nothing there. at least for me. so what do i do?
I SLEEP WITH HIM.
and it's awkward. pretty bad. and i think he thinks it's good. the second time was better than the first, but still nothing to write home about.
and i'm not even sure if i like him.
so what i have learned from this? obviously nothing, because we did it all again Thursday. he was better-looking, and the sex was better this time around ... or maybe i'm just lowering my standards.
i don't know. he's really nice, very sweet, polite, etc. and great for my self-esteem. but after about an hour and a half with him, i wish he'd just shut up and never talk again.
i am just not cut out for dating. at all.
