O-kay

I'm back and eager to blog. All through the "date" I was thinking what to blog about. What does that say about the "date"?!

He looked sort of how I remembered. He's normal, okay looking but not like particularly striking. I noticed he has narrow set eyes, and was slightly older than I remembered. Am I becoming so superficial? Have I always been but never owned up to it? Was 17 so interesting only because he was so attractive?

We decided on sushi and dinner was normal enough. Not particularly engaging, but not boring either. He's been in the US/CA for 12 years only, so there was always some interest on my part in learning his perspective...those are the things that interest me. He's polite, nice, not awkward.

We watched Alice...I didn't care for it. We both thought it was going to be more adult. After the movie he asked if it was a book or something. I laughed a bit, because such comments would be such an automatic deal killer but, given he didn't grow up here, I could overlook the remark. We walked to my car, commented more about the movie, then he said goodbye, quick hug and said to call if I were interested in hiking sometime. So, I don't think there was much interest.

I'm back to my "normal" self, the excitement has left, the anticipation has been replaced by reality. I'm not disappointed. I'm good. I was impressed by his good manners. Just all the little things like opening the door, picking up the check, walking to my car, all those little things were spot on. I probably should invite him on some hikes.
