Week 2: Date Report. You be the Judge

Date 1. Wednesday, I go out with only Jims. I have lunch with Jim #1 at the bento place. Luckily, Sun (the woman who takes the orders) didn't ask where Matt was. I always eat lunch there with Matt, and she's asked about him in the past. (although if she did ask, I could blame Matt for interfering with yet another of my prospects- there's always a bright side!)

But this Jim, honestly I just don't click with, and don't want to go on another date. It turns out he works in the building right next to mine . How crazy is that? I'll probably run into him every day for the next year.

But bonus points for me!!! It's also the same building where, on this same Wednesday, the security guard asks for my phone number. He's really cute, has kids already (but claims not to be married) and takes them camping at Timothy Lake. I know nothing else about him, although I walk though there every day soaking wet from my bike ride and carrying coffee.

Date 2. Jim #2 is actually Ultramarathoner from last week (see week 1, date 3). It turns out we have the same favorite restaurant; Indian. Dinner is fun, slightly awkward at times (he takes less initiative than I'm used to, but that's fine). We talk politics. He's middle of the road, but at least doesn't like Bush. He was interested in my views, and didn't seem to mind my left leanings. After dinner, we go to a nearby McMenamins and have a couple beers. Then he drives me and my bike home because I STILL can't find my rain pants and it's started to pour. Thank goodness for that SUV. I think he wanted a kiss, but I avoid it.
