I didn't realize we'd talked for four hours until we said goodnight, and I walked back to my car. :-)
I just got back from my first OkCupid date. We met up at 7:00 at a great casual restaurant in central Austin. The food was excellent, the wine tasty (and cheap!), and the company increasingly better. We ate and talked and ate some more until 11PM, when the staff kicked us out the door.
I'm not sure what I want out of this relationship (friend to do stuff with, guy to date, who knows?), but I had fun talking with "The Spaniard." He's got a cute laugh, he's a little flamboyant (but not flaming), and super-passionate about his work. We realized that we're both at the same point in our lives. We've dated roughly the same number of people, we're both just now realizing there's more to life than our careers, and we're both looking for someone to fill a sort of gap in our lives.
I don't think he's "the one," though. I can easily imagine hanging out with him and being social, but can't imagine life with him as a BF or partner. Multiple friends have told me "you'll know it" when you have a crush on someone. I don't have a crush. Is it normal for guys to casually date multiple guys as they "get out there" at first? It seems like dating online could be a numbers game if you let it become one.
I just realized my jacket smells like his cologne from when we hugged and said goodnight. *sigh* He was kind of cute when he hopped up and gave me a peck on my cheek. :-)
