Possibly a Date
This is going to come as a shock to everyone, I’m sure. But I actually went out on a bona fide date with PP. That’s right. We planned, we followed through, and we ate sushi together.
Actually we had a nice time. PP, he is tall. Way tall. Extremely tall. Which I, of course, think is totally hot. He is fairly attractive, and overall pretty normal, non-threatening and all of that. Conversation was easy, and laughter was plentiful. And one can never really go wrong with sushi. That was awesome.
The date went very quickly. And by that I don’t mean that we were so engrossed in conversation that hours flew right by. I mean that the date was short. Like, an hour and a half kind of short. Hi, here’s some sushi, nice meeting you and….. done. But I didn’t get a rushed or bad vibe out of it. Just…. short.
The next morning I did my standard maneuver that I execute after any reasonable good date when I feel another may actually occur. I wrote him a short email thanking him for dinner and letting him know I had a good time. We bantered back and forth for an hour or so then he said he needed to get back to work. So I wrote a final email and finished it off with a rather blunt suggestion that we plan to do something again sometime soon.
And that’s where it sits. The ball is squarely in PP’s court, or squire in his kingdom, or whatever. It’s his turn. And so I wait.

I hate the waiting…I fail miserably at it. Hope he contacts you soon.
I am so much better with this then I used to be. I remember once after a date it was all I could do to wait until the next day to call him. Twice. No wonder that didn’t work out.
Hmm … a quick date that was successful is a successful date nonetheless.
Success is only acheived if both parties wish for a repeat performance. We shall see.
Nothing wrong with a quick date. My date yesterday was about 30 minutes over coffee but it was pleasant. I think I’ll be seeing him again.
I have another date for dinner tonight with another guy. This should be interesting.
You are a wild woman!
Hope he calls. Fingers crossed!
So far? No good.
A quick date is better than No date, and it ended nice too! ( more brownie points ) You did the Thank you email after the date and now like you said it is in his lap, court, kingdom. He will pull through, since he bantered back and forth today. HE could of fallen off the face of the cyber-world never to be heard frmo again. Good Luck!
He is really crazy at work, so his lack of asking me out could be that. Or it could be that he’s just not that into me.
Go you!:) Sounds promising and maybe, just maybe, he will get a name upgrade to something that doesn’t sound like a bodily function when you abbreviate it.
Let’s not hold out collective breath though. Still no sign of date #2.
Hi. First time visiter to your blog. May I ask a direct question? Do you think it’s wise to call/email/txt the next day? I know all the arguments about people being adult and not playing games etc, but the reality is ALL men play games and just can’t help themselves. Being busy with work is a furphy. Work certainly didn’t stop Nicolas Sarkozy! In my dating days I always made my interest clear at the end of a date and never txted/called/emailed the next day. Men make up their minds immediately and if they’re interested nothing will get in their way from pursuing you. I had one guy call me a few days after our date from his hospital bed, broken arm/legs and all, after a car accident. Ok. He may have figured his options for the following couple of months were limited (!) but nonetheless…he had the balls to call. And isn’t that much more appealing than someone who dithers or hasn’t the courage to bite the bullet?
Thanking someone for taking you out is never the wrong thing to do. He bought me dinner. I was thanking him for that and his time. No matter what the situation, that will never be misguided.
On the flip side, I’m going to do a post on this topic soon. I have a lot of frustration about it that is too large to be contained in a comment reply. Thanks for the idea.
