SWF seeks.....Blog#3: The Lawyer

So, one benefit of doin’ it on the internet, is that it is a lot easier to date in real life too. I have never in my life picked up a boy in a bar, but after putting up myself out there on the internet, it seems that I am on fire.

I was at the bar on two Tuesdays ago for a Ketel One Vodka tasting (that stuff is amazing, well worth the extra money to be able to drink it straight out of the bottle, no joke, it’s that smooth and I am not only saying that because they gave me free drinks). That’s where I met The Lawyer. We ended up talking most of the rest of the night (and by night, I mean it was still light when I stumbled out of the bar to get home).

The next day got the “Nice to meet a UMass alum, that was fun, we should do it again” text (even after telling him before leaving the bar that I was not going home with him, nor was he coming to my house) and he wanted to go out that Thursday. I was busy Thursday, so we ended up going out last week.

It was my first time on a date with a lawyer, and here is the summary:

• yes, my friends were right and he does not have blonde hair like I thought he did (darn vodka goggles)
• yes, he is a little out of my age range (it’s like being back in Hermosa Beach where you can’t tell anyone’s age until you see their ID; and see my point above)
• yes, he was a little quirky (think Alan Shore)
• yes, he was a little slimy, but teddy bear-ish (think Denny Crane)
• yes, I am intrigued
• yes, we are going out again this week
