There is a theory that all you need to get a date is to have a date. I think it's a pretty legitimate thought. I went from not really talking to anybody on OKC to having 2 dates back to back this week. I haven't been particularly proactive on the website, but for whatever reason, it seems to have fallen out this way.
My date tomorrow is in law school. It seems that he's originally from the West Coast. I don't know too much more about him beyond that he lives in Logan Square. I am starting to prefer this lack of information - it makes conversation so much easier when you don't know everything about the person because you've been emailing for weeks. Oh wait...one more fact: he's Jewish.
I am slightly obsessed with the idea of dating someone Jewish (uh, you KNOW they're circumcised and no shared holidays...obviously we're going to my parents' for Christmas and Easter). My mom has also said to me on more than one occasion, "Why don't you date a nice Jewish boy?". I have a feeling we're on the same wavelength about the shared holidays. So, that was an exciting discovery today. Fingers crossed it goes well - at a minimum, we're checking out a pretty cool looking bar in Logan Square, so I'm optimistic I'll pull something useful out of it.
The second date is on Wednesday with Linguini. We've had mixed up schedules, and it looks like we're finally going to get it together on Wednesday for a happy hour. I like him too, but the idea of dating someone that lives in a western suburb (with a roommate, by the way) isn't something that I can stomach that easily.
Either way, be prepared for successive posts. This week should provide for quite a bit of writing.
