Week One: You be the Judge. Date Report

So after that longwinded first post, here's the date report.

Date 1: Banker. We go to a local trivia night - his idea. And a good one. We can't do the Sudukus, despite my housemate's prowess in this field. Banker knows many of the trivia answers, and is probably horrified at my lack of knowledge. But he doesn't believe one of my answers, doesn't write it down, and it turns out to be right (it was just a guess on my part).
He knows almost as little about I do about pop culture (no REALLY!). I'll go out with him again.

Date 2: Ferret Man. Crawford has a drawl, is tall and gangly looking, and is obsessed with ferrets. OK - "obsessed" might be a bit strong, but he had a lot to say about the ferret shelter his ferrets came from, the people who ran the ferret shelter, and how they got into the whole ferret business in Oregon City. Luckily, just one of his two ferrets stinks.
He mutters more than the average bear, but when I can hear it, it's generally funny. Maybe my hearing is going? He knows every Metallica song that plays on the jukebox, and doesn't play pool. And since this is my second date out of three, I'm not inclined to take up the slack during pauses in the conversation. But he does - he actually asks me interesting questions, and listens to the answers. So I'll go on another date with him.

Date 3: Ultramarathoner. Ok, I'd never heard of an ultramarathon before - have you? It's where you run over 100 miles. The longest he's run is 150 miles somewhere in Greece. And you know the crazy thing? He claims OTHER people actually do this too! Whew, what a nut. But otherwise, he's intelligent, interesting, and we have a good conversation. The only red flag is he drives a huge SUV (not a hummer or anything like that) but you know my politics, right? Oh and the other red flag - he's taking a month off work to run from the English channel in France to the Mediterranean. Has he never heard of a Europass?
But I have fun talking to him, so, you guessed it, another date is in order.
