Un Rendez-vous De Déjeuner

I had a great lunch date today. It was with a guy I met on Match. Let's call him R. He is nice and smart and fun and interesting. He is tall enough (6'1) and old enough (31), and he's cute! There was never an awkward moment. We had great conversations and great food (at my favorite local sushi place...yes, Y, I'm still addicted!). The lunch sped by and then it was time to go. When we said good-bye I assumed there would be no hugging or kissing because it was a day-time, work-week lunch date thing, and somehow, in my mind, kissing during that kind of date just seems wrong. I went to shake his hand (because I didn't know what else to do) and he shook it, then said, "Come on...give me a hug." So I did. It was a nice long-ish hug. Then he said, "Would you like to do this again sometime?" To which I said "yeah, I'd love that." He's going out of town this weekend so he said he'd call next week. I hope he does!

So the date went well, and that's exciting, but more importantly I am excited because the following:

1) Nice, interesting, single guys DO exist
2) Match.com dates CAN be good and fun
3) Being interested in a non-jerk IS possible

Yippee!! See?? All of this is because of the Cabo boy PB. It's funny how life leads you down certain paths.

I have a date with another Match.com guy tonight and another one tomorrow. I'm going through them like I'm moving my way down a list. Who says dating can't be business-like?
