Popular Post Randomguy Posted August 1, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted August 1, 2018 <Blueprint, Park Slope> We exchanged some words near the end of our time together, and she looked at me with that...that look. The inner eyebrows uplift ever so slightly in an almost pleading manner and then knit together just so, the rest of her facial muscles working in ways that evolution couldn't account for. Her wrinkles (cute as they were) betrayed her age. There was no stopping it, but it was as controlled as possible under the circumstances - at first a single tear running slowly, down a natural crease, then joined by a companion on the other side. Sniffles. A look of resignation. Vague hopelessness. Slight bewilderment. Sadness. "I didn't want to do this", she said, "you were my first date after my breakup three months ago. I thought I was ready, I was sure I was ready. I thought I was ready". There was an deflating undertone that settled in among the din of the pub, and a silence that simply couldn't last. "So, we gonna bang or what?" asked RG, concerned that this date had taken an unpleasant turn. -------------------------------- <seven days prior, Croton Reservoir Tavern> Laura was cute as a bugs ear, but much, much sexier. She told me I was going to like her, and I did. There was banter, jokes, drinks, because drinks are exactly what one should be doing on a date. I looked at her face a lot, trying not to be caught in the act of checking her out, which I did. I liked what I saw. I watched her hands dance as she talked. Arms are being touched when points are made or the jokes land; this date is going well. I like her, she likes me. We kiss, and it is nice. There is extended kissing, and it is extended several times before it is time to leave. ------------------------------- <Tuesday - the Black Rabbit, in Greenpoint> Christine had posted one picture in her dating profile, and this photo concealed the extra 40 or so pounds she had hidden semi-successfully online, only to be revealed in person. I was taken aback by this, as honest representation is important. I recalibrated, told myself that it is just one drink, and she is doing what she thought was best for her situation. I haven't walked in her shoes, and I feel for her. She is fun. An attorney. Funny Long Islandish accent. Another beer? Sure, why not. Turns out that there is pub trivia this night, we are a team of two, and we are doing better than expected.. We had more beer. Despite the subterfuge, the beer is telling me that she needs compliments, and she likes them when I point out how smart and fun she is. Her hand lingers on my knee, funny how I hadn't noticed it there at first. I touch her leg, because she is wearing a skirt. This goes on for a while. Trivia ends and I say something funny, and she surprises me with a kiss, a good one, and serious at that. I let her know I have court the next day and I really have to get home. We walk toward her car, and we kiss again when we get there. She is into it, and mauls yours truly in a most salacious and aggressive manner. ----------------------------- <Wednesday. Kings County Family Court, Brooklyn> This is unpleasant, but I don't get railroaded. Despite not getting much sleep, I make key points that seem well received, but will probably be pointless in the big picture. Lasts an hour. I go to work. Coincidentally, this is also a visitation day, so after work I go and hang with RO and feRW at the old apartment. Stressful. I don't sleep well. ----------------------------- <Thursday - second date with Cute as a bugs ear Laura, Spritzenhaus> I suggested this place because she likes cider, and when I was there 4 years ago, they had a great cider (Rekorderlig strawberry lime, go get some). They haven't carried it in a couple of years, it turns out. Dicks. Anyway, I am exhausted from a few nights of not sleeping, and she is tired, too. Low energy night. Still fun, but lacking the same punch. We still make out a little, and it is still nice, but lacking that urgency that you want to feel. ------------------------------ <Friday - Blueprint> The crying date. I have more thoughts, but I am too tired now to think hard enough to write them at the moment. I didn't actually ask her if she wanted to bang. I wanted to, though, she was really cute, and had been a professional dancer/singer in musicals and such. Btw, I wrote her and told her that we have all been there, she was fine, all the good stuff. I told her I would be happy to get a drink as friends, she wrote back and said she'd like that. . 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentonMakes Posted August 1, 2018 Share #16 Posted August 1, 2018 I enjoyed reading the date writeup, a little vicariously if that's the proper application of the word (since this is a life I've never lived). I hope you have more dates and fewer tears. Almost nothing makes me feel smaller than having done or said something that ends up with her crying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted August 1, 2018 Share #23 Posted August 1, 2018 Download the movie Swingers for the crying woman. It's an old movie now, but still funny when it comes to the issue of not being over an ex. The most important thing in all of this is the court date. I hope everything goes well for you in that regard. The "woman" that matters the most in that story is lovely RO and I'm glad you spent some time with her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I ever went on one of these "dates" I could just show up in scrubs? But I am firmly in the @Indy camp. If something ever happened to the wife I don't see myself going through the whole dating scene. The last time I did it there were barely cell phones. They didn't have cameras, video, facebook, etc. Not sure I'd be into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't even bang women that look like doods or have hair when they shouldn't. So I lived in Charlotte a long time ago, and I met a woman in a laundromat when I was folding up and such. We got along, I should have prolonged the flirting and then asked her out, but didn't. A few weeks later, I am in a second-hand bookstore and there she is. I ask her out. We go out. Nice first date, fun, got along well, second date scheduled. Second date is fun, we end up back at her apartment (banging doesn't seem imminent this time, you get a sense of these things). Anyway, I had previously lived in Boulder, and she was casually asking what the chicks are like there. I say they are crunchy, and I prefer my chicks with shaved legs so's they don't seem manly.
