Week Two: More Dates

You thought I was done with week 2, and wouldn't meet my 3-date-a-week goal - Ha! Just right sit back and I'll tell the tale of dates 3-4.

Date 3: This guy I like a lot... He is an EXCELLENT cook. He makes me an awesome dinner, followed by shuffleboard at the local tavern. He kicks my butt, and I love it. His emails make me laugh out loud, and he's very entertaining and enthusiastic. But he doesn't want kids. For sure. OR as far as I can tell, any kind of relationship. *sigh*. He's cute too.

Date 4: Banker - date number 3. We go to all my local favorites - and he enjoys them. Alberta pub for a beer (but I balk at the $12 cover for music) then the Tin Shed for dinner, then to the source of rasputin afterwards. I'm now tipsy (big shocker, huh?), and disposed to liking my date. But in this case, I've finally identified what I don't particularly care for. He's interrupted me 5-6 times to say things he apparently needs to say. His favorite topics of conversation are food, golf and football. Not that I mind talking about those things, they're just not what I choose to focus on...

So this week Nancy suggests I *add* to my extensive list of what I'm looking for in a man.... but I think she's right. She suggests I add a couple of "gut check" items. For example, do I think about him when we're not on a date? Do I want to call him? Do I want to kiss him?

She's smart!
