Date Recap

I'm hesitant to post about this because the date went so well and I'm nervous is he going to find my blog. I didn't mention anything about me having a blog during our date, but for some reason I just have feeling it may come up at a later time.

I do have to admit that after a string of very questionable dates, I am now implementing a strict Google policy before even going through the hair, makeup and clothes, date routine. So prior to going out with him I tossed all the info I knew thus far into Google, just to be sure I wasn't in for any criminal type situations. It didn't bring up anything too juicy and actually made him more interesting before he even got a chance to tell the stories for himself. (Side note: What are your thoughts on Googling someone before you go out to meet them for the first time? Am I ruining the fun of going on a first date with someone by already knowing the answers to most of the questions I'm going to be asking?) Anyway, my thoughts at this point, however, are that I know he is above average intelligent, very worldly and after the date he now knows a fair bit about me; (including my last name, where I'm from, went to school etc.) and I'm convinvced that he may do the same Google trick and be directed to my blog. (If you've noticed the posts about our introduction and me acting like a giddy little girl are now saved and not showing up at this point :)

I've thought about this alot this past weekend and am tempted to go private with my blog, but don't want to lose any of you wonderful readers as a result of it. Plus, I'm convicend that my family back home would lash out in some irrational manner at the thought of having to create accounts before they can read along again. Thus, I've decided to forgo that idea and just be a bit more general with date posts and possibly leave out any defining moments - unless of course they are too good to pass up, then you will get them in full detail!

Getting back to the good stuff. Met Mr. Yummy out early in the evening at a bar with a few of his friends to decide where we were going to go. (I'm thinking that meeting him out with his friends first was his way of safeguarding himself in case I turned out to be some freak of nature that he needed to bail on before the date even started.) Luckily, after a few drinks and a series of questions similar to those found in a police investigation we were off on our own. His friends were nice and a lot of fun, but they were REALLY interfereing with my one-on-one time with the man who seriosuly dresses like page 23 of the Calvin Klein catalogue. (Looks great in a suit, but man you should have seem him the other night.....please excuse me as I wipe the drool off my keyboard)

I wasn't very hungry as I had just been out indulging on the terrible Australian phenomenon that is meat pie, and was actually bordering on being ill at the site of any food at that point in the night. So we decided to skip dinner and headed out to a few different bars near his house; we had great conversation, found that we've travelled to a lot of the same places and been in shockingly close proximitiy throughout our entire lives. So it was even more bizarre that the first time our paths crossed was here in Melbourne.

Date #2 is scheduled for late this week....

PS: If you want the good details of the date leave a comment with your email address and I'll send out the good blog post there :)
