Date #1

I just got back from Match.com Date #1. After my "situation" with Mr. Perv Texter, I was a little leery of this whole online dating thing, but dammit I'm stickin with it! For the sake of saving his name for now, we will call my date tonight "Mr. Seahawk" because he is from Seattle. We emailed back and forth online a few times and he invited me out for dinner/drinks. I was SUPER nervous today before the date. I went out and bought a new outfit, which looked hot and did the hair up all nice. We decided to meet at the restaurant, so I felt better knowing I had my own escape pod if I needed it. I walked into the place and this guy is standing there in the doorway, looks me up and down, and give me a hug. Then he starts smelling my hair and tried to kiss me. Now mind you, he looks NOTHING like his picture, so I'm wondering who the fuck this is. I pulled back and ask who he is. Turns out it's not "Mr. Seahawk" and it's some other random hot dude. I go to sit down at the bar because I know my real date is about to come in and random dude comes and sits with me. Uhh...this is gonna be awkward when he shows up. I start chattin with the random guy, cuz he is cute and looks really familiar. He says to me, "I know who you are". Creeped out, I ask why and turns out we went to high school together and I totally remembered who he was. He then asks me for my number and as I start to put it in his phone, "Mr. Seahawk" walks in. Awkward! I quickly say that we are old friends from High School and we were just catching up. "Mr. Seahawk" thought he was my bodyguard I brought with me just in case. LOL, oiy! Great start! Random High School Dude finally left and I started my real date. Our conversation was actually pretty effortless and we both felt really comfortable around each other. We had a few drinks and sushi, which he paid for. Afterwards, we made out a bit and seemed to have a connection. We will most likely go on a second date, so I am looking forward to that. I am also chatting with a few others online and hey who knows, maybe random high school guy will call me. :P
