There's Something About Chai

I had my coffee date last night with Mr. Doppelganger. ♥♥♥.5
He was very gracious when I was fifteen minutes late because of snow traffic. Texted, "No worries take your time and be safe," in response to my I'm running late warning. Very nice indeed. We talked for a long time. I think the coffee date last about two hours. He's an interesting person for sure. He's moved around a lot and seems to have many hobbies. I believe he's most dedicated to his hobby of karaoke singing (not kidding). He came off as very kind. He could hold a conversation and appeared to be interested in what I had to say. He likes the TV show Bewitched.

While I had a nice time talking with him and we got along quite well, I didn't get the feeling that this would relationship make. My reasons:

1. No post date butterflies. I felt pleasant which was nice but not full on icky girl giddy.
2. I like the idea of artistic types but something about them in reality doesn't quite match with my overly logical brain. (No, I haven't painted a random picture and then analyzed why I painted what I did and tried to equate it with what that says about me as a person. Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
3. I think I want my potential boyfriend to be employed or at least searching for employment.
4. I had to squint to be attracted to him, not good for the wrinkles. He has a pretty large forehead and I spent many a moment squinting at him to see if I could make it shrink with perspective.
5. I didn't want to continue or date when he asked if I was hungry or wanted to go play board games for charity. I wanted to go to sleep and watch the end of the Olympics.

Upcoming Date

So after a few sessions of phone tag Mr. Doppleganger and I have a coffee date. Tomorrow evening at my favorite neighborhood coffee shop at 6. Yes, I gave all those details so my ninja squad can spy and attack if need be.

We've talked on the phone a bit and I still don't know quite what I make of him, nice for sure possibly strange. I'm interested to see how coffee date will go. Fun fun.

I'm running one real date a week so far (counting speed dating) and I think that's pretty good stats.

Dates on the Horizon

Mr. Doppelganger called me while I was at speed dating. He left a message (point!). Then he called again last night (point!). I was kind of a little bit buzzed; that Horseshoe Lounge mixes a strong drink. We had a nice conversation. I don't think he even really cared that I was slightly intoxicated because he asked me to hang out this weekend. Unfortunately I'll be out of town but I did make arrangements to call him on Sunday (forgetting that's VD) to arrange a hang out next week. So there's that.

Double take

After a few e-mails I gave the math teacher look-a-like guy my phone number. Since before I'd just jumped right to the meeting (probably to get it over with) perhaps the phone call will be a better in between step. I hesitated because he claims to be 30 and 30 sounds old. Then I had to remind myself that I'm 26, not very far from 30 (ahhhh). CoolGuy77 is older than 30 and he's only creepy like 19.5% of the time. So maybe this will be alright.

We'll see if he calls. Mr. Doppelganger.
