2 inches toooo short

Date: First Date

Who: my friends, boyfriends friend…a full time salesman and part time MBA’er

Where: Club 185…drinks & apps

What I wore: Jeggings, green & cream tunic, short booties and gold accessories

What he wore: button down and bad jeans (uggg!)

When I arrived he was sitting at the bar. First impression was good…attractive, muscular and a good smile. Then he stood up.... His jeans were 2 inches too short! How can he not know his jeans are too short?! Does he not read GQ?

We moved our conversation from the bar to a booth to chat and get to know each other. The conversation was good, but he lacked the humor I look for in a guy.  We talked jobs, family, friends and the inevitable…“past relationships.” During all of this I was able to forget about the short jeans and take the time to get to know him (short jeans can be remedied in time).

After a few kettle & sodas the conversation easily flowed and time flew by.  It was time to call it a night so we asked for the check (which we split) and walked to our cars.

A quick hug and a “it was fun, let’s do it again” and I was on my way home.  The glittery part of the date was his smile.  It was very inviting and made me feel immediately comfortable.

Overall I would say it was a good (not great) 1st date. Will there be a 2^nd date? If he asks, I’ll say yes. But he better pick up the check this time!

My Love Life Escapades!

So I’m a 29 year old single girl! My week nights are made up of working late, the gym, cocktails with friends and….first dates.

Dating in your late 20’s is interesting. It’s not like dating in your early 20’s where you’re still unsure of who you are, what you want to do in life ect ect. At this point in my life I’m fairly progressed in my career, incredibly independent and really know what I want out of a relationship. I’ve been on so many first dates I can’t even begin to count. Some of them progressed to 2^nd dates, 3^rd dates & possibly a kiss or two. But more often than not, I always find something wrong with him. He wore bad jeans, he’s still figuring out his life, he’s a bad kisser or he shaves his arms (the shaving his arms thing wasn’t discovered until a 3^rd date.....I immediately deleted his number when I got home). Will I ever find that one guy who has something wrong with him but I like him so much I’ll overlook it? I guess someday it will happen…but for now I will share with you the glittery and not so glittery parts of my love life escapades!
