I may not have met my goal for the year 2008, but the goal remains the same for the year 2009. And as endless as the road my seem, I find myself in a similar situation that I'm all to familiar with, and this time I feel pretty indifferent towards the latest prospect, which is a phrase I haven't used at all, considering the last 3 girls were either on my level or a bit above my level of girls I'm used to dating.
Before I get into great detail, allow me to recap the latest date I had. Prospect number 8, for all intents and purposes, lets call her Erica, which was also the name of prospect number 4, except she spelled her name Erika, and as it turned out, she wasn't even really that interested in me. Anyways, not to go way off topic. I do my usual routine, dress up somewhat nice and get myself pumped up on the drive over to pick her up a ritual usually called "Getting into my metal mode" Although this time I turn on AM radio to catch some of the Panthers-Cardinals game since my 2nd favorite team was playing, but QB Jake Delhomme threw his 3rd of 5 interceptions much to my dismay, the Panthers ended up getting thier asses whooped, and for the 2nd year in a row, the team I support goes out in the Divisonal round. I then get to her house, or apartment, I couldn't really tell. I pick her up, and it's dark so I can't really tell what she looks like.
That is until I get to dinner. As we walk into the resturant I was able to get my 1st real glimpse at her, and in my mind, the voices I hear curse Myspace again for showing me pictures of what she used to look like. I'm not afraid to admitt that she looked better on Myspace, and for the second time I have to change my game plan since Myspace lied to me. I know it sounds pretty mean that I have a game plan based on the looks of the girl, but hey It's my date, I'll do it however the fuck I want to. After talking with her, I find out the following gems if you will. She can drink. She has a job. She makes a little bit less money than me. She didn't go off on the male race and doesn't seem to have any major baggage that the previous 3 girls had and told me in great detail about. She goes to the gym often to work off some extra pounds she gained over the course of the previous few years. With gems, comes some bad things. I don't believe she graduated high school and had to join the job corps (That's if I heard that correctly) She has a history to past drug use, manily pot and cocaine, both of which I've never done, but it beats Courtney doing Pot laced with PCP or Angel Dust. I don't really have an issue with any of her past drug use or the possibility of dropping out of high school.
After dinner, we go see the movie Gran Torino, which was a damn good movie. Probably the best movie I've seen in theaters since The Dark Knight. I wasn't aware of the blatant rascist overtone though. After Clint Eastwood's first racsist tangent, I was holding in my laughter until everyone else in the theater started to laugh. The best part is every race gets theirs.
Then after the movie, I take her home, it's around 1 AM or a little after 12, I don't even remember the time, but I drop her off and walk her up to her door and share and akward hug which she instigated, well atleast I thought it was akward. I then leave to go home so I can unleash some throat yogurt since I didn't get laid or any kind of action.
I would have to say that the date as a whole wasn't the best date, but it was far from the worst date. Since this was my 1st date since early December, I haven't developed any kind of rust and still know what I'm doing on a date. Was I nervous? No, not at all. The last date I was nervous about was the first one with Megan, since It had been years since I had gone on a date at that time. Now, Erica on the other hand was super nervous, and after reading her body language while at dinner, I knew she was nervous. I have a habit of reading people and I'm quite good at it. Erica is a pretty cool chick and seems pretty down to earth and laid back, which are the qualities I'm looking for. I'm not intrested in drama crap or anyone high maintenence or any under lying mental condition. So far, she seems to be clear of any of those. Now, I'm used to scoring dates with chicks who are above average in looks, considering I'm an above average looking guy. Erica may not be as pretty as the previous prospects, or have that rockin' body I'm looking for, but I'm not tripping on that fact at all, maybe and average chick is just what I may need, but who the hell knows whats next? As far as a second date goes, yea I'm up for it, and she's already trying to set one up with me. I'm sure she's taking the role I usually take in dating, lucky to actually rope an above average looking person. Well, atleast she passed the first date and was able to score and second date with me, not like that's a suprise at all, she didn't fuck up the first date. Consider Erica saved.
