Hello!! It’s been too long since I’ve written so I’m sorry for skimming…

When I last wrote, I told you all about the old man I mistakenly dated. Ha!

So I did end up going out with Nick again. We had plans to go out somewhere in his neck of the woods where he had just moved into his new apartment. I dressed in my finest hooker attire ready to hit some hot club with my young buck. I showed up at his apartment and could smell the overwhelming stench of too much cologne and I heard techno pumping from within the apartment. He had a studio with all black furniture and black and red décor. There were also animal print accents strewn about the room, including one of those animal skin rugs that are shaped like an actual skinned animal. It was a silly night… we drank too much and never made it out and I did the most shameful of all walk of shames ever. I also was just walking into the train station as a train pulled up and I RAN to catch it just before the doors closed. I accidentally got on the wrong train but because the first few stops are the same I didn’t notice and started playing Mah Jong on my phone and didn’t notice that I wasn’t going the right way until I was at Regan National Airport. I got off and had to wait 20 minutes in my hooker gear and smeared makeup for my train to come and it ended up, start to finish, taking me like 2 hours to get home.

After that I decided that Nick wasn’t really my style with his silly taste in music and décor.

I actually had had a date earlier in that week with a guy who had originally gotten in touch with me a while back and not really had too much email conversation with. He just kind of emailed me and asked me if I’d like to be shown around a bit. I couldn’t tell what he looked like from his one black and white, side profile shot of him laughing. In sunglasses. Not to mention his ethnicity said African decent/ other. But he seemed ok and I hadn’t been able to judge the ones I had seen so far anyway so I was just like yea whatever. He said he was traveling for business but we could meet up next week. I kind of blew him off after that cause I was still spinning from Jon’s odd behavior. It started to become so exhausting!!

But Tuesday before that date with Nick I finally went out with him and we met at a sushi restaurant in Georgetown. It started off ok and then it got really great! I made sure that he was being honest about a few things (cough cough) and he was just totally genuine and nice and normal and he was the first guy that I went out with that I felt like I could actually see as my boyfriend. We left it with good feeling to the point where I really didn’t even want to see Nick that Friday. So on Sunday I met up with Katy for a little brunch and moseying around Eastern Market. Since my date with Chris we had actually texted or something every day and we decided to meet up when Katy went to catch her flight. Steve met up too. That was fun!!

So I called Chris when they left to see what the deal was with meeting up and he told me he was at a friend’s house in Bethesda, MD watching football and he invited me over. It was a little silly feeling to go see this family with three kids and their little friends and other relatives and neighbors there. But it was great and we made plans to hang again. We went out again on the following Tuesday. He came to McLean this time and I met him at the Ritz bar/lounge and we had drinks and dinner. We verbally established that we were interested in each other had our first kiss at the end of the night. I was really relieved, after having been on about 8 dates with other men leading up to him, to find someone that I was actually interested in and seemed to be interested in me. On our first date he did tell me that I was the first one that I had met off of the website. Oh and when his friends in Bethesda asked us how we met, I was surprised that they didn’t know prior to my arrival, opened my mouth and paused before Chris said that we met at a bar. It was also a surprise to the husband, Joel, who asked us second and later that his wife Liz had, that we had only met once before my joining them. Also, their daughter asked who I was and Liz said “this is Chris’s friend” to which she replied “you’re always bringing friends over!” Awkward.

So anyway, the night after our Ritz-y date, I closed at work and then drove to Georgetown to his favorite restaurant, Black Salt, to meet him. When I went in he was talking to another patron and I joined them and mostly listened to them talk finances (Chris is a CFO ching ching) before we talked about stuff that didn’t sound like French to me. After that I followed Chris back to his house (not before he backed his Mazerati into a telephone pole) and went inside for some wine. We talked a little and reestablished that we are into each other and ended up making out in his bedroom for a little but I was determined to get out of there. So now that was 4 dates in one week.

A week later I guess, on a Monday I had a day off and we decided to meet for lunch at Black Salt before I went downtown for a little artsy fulfillment and I drove to his house and parked so I could take the bus downtown. I went back later and we went to his friend’s townhouse. We had to take my car since his Mazerati was being fixed and on the way there, can I just mention, I needed to stop for gas and the man got out of the car and he pumped my gas. Seriously, what a gentleman!

That was the last time I saw him, like a week ago, but we’re still talking. He actually invited me to Orlando with him on a business trip but that fell through. He’s been a little flaky lately so I don’t know what’s going on but if this fails to work out I’m gonna take a break for a while while I find a new job. I was supposed to have an interview today but they ended up making another offer to someone else and cancelling my interview. I’ma keep on trying though because I’m sick of my schedule. It’s just such a pain and is crippling my social life.
