Nothing for ages and then two come along at once

Don’t you hate it when you have a first date with someone and it serves to make you miss an ex even more than before?

That sort of happened to me last night, I had a date with a guy that gave me pangs for Tel Aviv*, so much for ‘the only way to get over one man is to get under a new one.’

Well…not that I got under him. No no no, the date didn’t go THAT far. We just had a couple of drinks.

Now, before you get all excited, this date had nothing whatsoever to do with either of the sex-pots I came across on the day of Ash’s wedding: the hot Pain Quotidien guy and Cute Wedding Photographer Bloke. Nope, this was a random bloke that I met in a bar in January. I believe I was busy drowning my sorrows over my break up with Tel Aviv at the time and I exchanged business cards with him. However I didn’t hear a peep until this past Sunday; that would be Sunday March 30th, almost 3months since we met.

Obviously he was chomping at the bit to go on a date with me ;-)

He sent me an ‘up for a drink sometime?’ email on Sunday and I thought, why not, nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that, so we arranged to meet last night for a drink at the King Cole bar at the St Regis hotel. I had a nice enough time, although I have to say I found him a bit too conservative for my tastes, I really can’t see him getting down with his bad self at the Warm Up parties I like to frequent at PS1 during the summer, especially not as he gets up at 5am every morning. The haircut would also have to go, oh yes, the bonce would most definitely have to be chopped. His hair was in the same style as the haircut the Chris O'Donnell character had in ‘Scent of a woman’, a haircut that particularly hindered any appreciation I may have had for that movie (although I wasn't exactly patient with Al Pacino whoop-ah-ing his way through that film either). All I could think about when Chris O’Donnell’s character was on screen was how much I wanted to take scissors to his hair.

I hate to be shallow, but well…look at it.......the whole feathered flickiness of it.

Shudder!! Doesn't that hair style just have you itching for a pair of scissors??? It’s not a good look is it? It’s certainly not as good as the look below which Chris ‘did you know I have 5 children’ O’Donnell sports very well I think.

Heaps better right?

Also, you know it's not a good sign when you are looking at your date and pondering which of your female friends you can set him up with.

Ah well.

Next ;-)

Actually I have the next one all lined up, I got a note from Catweazle on Monday. He is in town 18-23rd April, so we are going out on Sat 19th. If he makes a good impression I may see him the morning of Sun 20th ha ha, yeah yeah I'm a big floosy. Hey leave me alone, Spring is in the air ;-)

Miles was disappointed that he and B won't be in town to ‘double date’ with us as they fly back to London on the 18th. Erm...yes Miles, that's exactly what I need on my second date with Catweazle, two gay chaperones. Honestly.

*I seem to be experiencing some sort of mild delayed grieving for my break-up with Tel Aviv at the moment. It must have been passing his apartment building on the way to Ash's wedding reception on Friday night that did it.
