I officially had my first OKC date (for this go around) last night. I know it seemed as if it might not be happening as The Veteran waited until about 2pm to text me as to where we were meeting, but I'm trying my best to not be the over-planning female that I tend to be. So we met at a local bar with a $2.50 Miller Lite draft special and $2.50 tacos. I was honestly in heaven - Schoolyard has phenomenal tacos.
I was amazingly on time...like sickeningly on-the-dot on time. And of course, Vet was late. Men always give women such a hard time about these things, but I think they are just as bad (same goes for PMSing too). And obviously, I teased him about putting on his makeup and getting all dolled up for the date. I couldn't help it.
We had about 3 beers before deciding it would probably be a good idea to eat something. We each got a couple of tacos and continued discussing anything and everything between feta cheese, karaoke, Harrison Ford, fantasy football, and improv people. Honestly, it was one of the best dates I've had in a long time.
He is a theater major, but not actively pursuing acting. He works in customer service for an internet-based company, but is one of the most senior people in the department. I don't know - there were a few "lifestyle" choices that I had been apprehensive about before the date. I'm still not sure that they are things I can deal with, but he definitely made me feel really comfortable. He picked up the bill without hesitation, and even offered me a ride home (which I graciously declined - I'm not Miss Daisy over here).
My one hang up right now is that he didn't really ask me any questions. I tend to lead conversations because I hate awkward silences, and I definitely did that a couple of times. I asked about siblings, but never got a follow up question, so I had the great pride to have to throw out there that I'm an only child. He did follow up with, "how was that for you?" People always kill me with those questions. Uh, good? How was having 2 siblings for you? But, it was a first date, and people are usually nervous. I definitely like him (thanks for the 95% match percentage, OKC. You done good).
We got along swimmingly, and I'm optimistic about seeing Vet again. He texted me today that he's going to call me tomorrow to try to set up another hang out. Whoot! I'm looking forward to it.
I also just made a date with Junior at a local pub for Monday too. As George Costanza would say, I'm back, baby!
