The Date
Ok, well here is my report on "the date." I got to the bar first, which was good because I needed a drink, most definitely. I don't know why I was nervous for God's sake. Well I wasn't nervous about him, just the age thing was still freaking me out and I wasn't sure how I was going to handle it at the end of the night. When I got there the Yanks/Sox game was on TV, which was perfect. After that the Orioles/Mariners game was on. Excellent!
So, he showed up a few minutes later. We had some food (just appetizers really, I wasn't terribly hungery) and just sat, hung out and talked for several hours. I can be kinda quiet when I'm nervous, so I was trying to make sure I kept talking, which inevitably led to sports, sports and more sports. He likes baseball and football, which is good! Unfortunately, he doesn't like the Eagles, but he does like the Packers, so that's at least something ;)
I had 3 beers (he only had 1, he was trying to not drink too much b/c he was driving, and he was out the night before drinking), and I found myself prolonging the night, because I was still a little weirded out by the whole age thing. We literally sat there for hours, it was already around 11:00 (I got there some time around 6:30) and the beers had worn off by then, so I was in need of something a little stronger. Because, at the end of the night, that's when I have to decide whether I'm going to kiss him or not. So, I ordered the best scotch they had, and that seemed to do the trick :)
By the time I finished that it was 11:30 or 11:45 and I was tired, I had a really busy day at work that day (why are Fridays always the busiest days??) and I had to get up early tomorrow to take my car in to get my tires checked. So, the time had finally come. We left, he offered to walk me to my car, which was very sweet. It was about 2 blocks away. When we got there, he just said the usual "I had a good time, thanks for meeting me, etc" and then gave me a kiss on the cheek. Very gentlemanly for a young lad! :op Weirdly enough, something hit me. I may as well find out if kissing him is going to severely weird me out (hell, it was probably the scotch lol), and he had mentioned earlier that he had to park several blocks away from the bar, so..... I then offered to give him a ride to his car. I was going to just kiss him there on the street.... IN PUBLIC!!! :) So he said thanks very much, that would be awesome, so we got in my minivan (yes, embarrassing, especially on a date!), and I drove him the 5 blocks to where his car was. It was time for him to get out of the car, he kind of leaned over to give me another peck on the cheek or whatever, and I just said 'fuck it' and kissed him. We kissed for probably a good minute, and then I said goodnight and he left. HOLY SHIT!! I KISSED A 22 YEAR OLD!! It didn't feel weird at the time, in fact it was kinda nice, but aftewards, on the way home, all I kept saying to myself was "I can't believe I did that!"
So, I was driving to the store on Saturday, and lo and behold my phone rings, and it's him. He knew I was leaving on Friday for Philly, and asked if he could "see me" again before I left. He asked if he could take me out to dinner. I told him Wednesday would work, so I'm sure he'll call today or tomorrow. I honestly don't know if I should have done that or not. I just don't know if I can get over this age thing, it just keeps weirding me out.
****************
Believe it or not, I also have another date tomorrow night with a different guy!!! I try the online dating thing every once in a while, and I figured I'd give it one more try, and this guy I met that way. He's 36 (much closer to my age!! lol), and we even have the same birthday, which is weird! I've never met anyone with the same birthday as me (February 26). We seem to have a lot in common, and he's just really nice, and I really enjoy talking with him (we've talked on the phone a couple times), the first time we talked it was for like 45 minutes. So, we're going out tomorrow night, I'll keep you posted on that one. If him and I hit it off, I think I'm going to have to cut the youngin' loose. ;)
Tonight is my football night, I'll be heading out to Tigard to watch the Eagles game with all my Eagles buddies, I can't wait!! I haven't seen these guys since the Super Bowl, so it'll be nice to see everyone again. God, I hope they win. The f'ing Cowboys won yesterday, so we can't let them be one-uppin' us like that, no friggin way!!! So, everyone, give me a big GO EAGLES!!!! :)
