Date Recap

Airplane guy picked me up around 8 last night and we ended up going to Osteria Via Stato for dinner and not Spiaggia as originally planned because it had started to rain pretty hard and neither of us had been to this place before. It's an Italian restaurant (my favorite!) that I've passed by a million times on my way home and never actually been in. Well I'm glad I got to try it last night because it could easily become my favorite place to go for a good glass of red, amazing desserts or a delicious pasta.

Anyway the food and atmosphere were amazing, but the company was nothing that really blew my skirt up (bad choice of words possibly for first date talk.) I mean he was a perfect gentleman all night, opening doors...taking my coat...umbrellas on the way out of the cab...yada yadaa, but that should just be a given in my mind so not overly impressed by all of that. Good conversation for most of the evening, no weird comments or uncomfortable silences, but nothing about him really stood out to me. Although I do have to give him credit for the restaurant choice - When we were on the plane I was talking about all the Italian places that I liked to go to in the city and apparently made him nervous that he was going to choose a bad one for our date. So he actually had gone and had lunch the past few days at three different restaurants that he was thinking of taking me to, just to make sure that the place was good choice for a first date. So I will give credit for doing his homework before we went out! It was funny though when the hostess recognized him from lunch the day before after he told me that he had never been to this restaurant.

All and all a nice night and a delicious dinner but nothing else too exciting.
