Dinner with writer guy was good. We met at an Indian restaurant with a very nice and quiet atmosphere. Again, he's a lot better looking in person than in his photos. Does that mean going forward that the cuties aren't going to be as cute in person and those not that cute are going to look better in person? Interesting ... I only say this because I'm still somewhat leery of some of the guys on this site. I'm working on it and I've made some progress. For me having trust issues though, I'm pretty proud of myself for putting myself out there and meeting new people. I haven't been too entirely nervous just yet.

We sat, ate, and talked for about three hours. He said I was cute and he was having a good time. I said thank you, I was, too. We had good conversation and took it as a sign that the restaurant was closing when they started turning off the lights. lol He's a few years younger than me, but he's very well educated and although young, he seems to have lived a lot of his work life to the extent. He loves to travel, so that's a plus. He's a big movie buff, another plus. We talked about some oldies, but goodies and seem to have very similar tastes. He loves news, politics, history - me not so much. I like history to an extent, but news is just so depressing sometimes.

He's a door opener ... good - his mama taught him some manners. It was cute ... during our conversation, he kept twisting his words and said he was flustered probably because he was so nervous. I asked him why and said it was no big deal. I guess I've had so many job interviews in my lifetime that talking comes pretty natural to me. Essentially that's what this is, right? An interview?

When the evening was over, we talked by our vehicles for a moment. He said he had a good time and thanked me for hours of conversation. I told him thank you for the evening (he paid), then he asked me if I'd like to do it again sometime. I said sure. We're supposed to catch-up online tomorrow.

Comments or questions about dating? I don't know if you can really figure out a person on the first date. I think it's possible to get that weird, creepy feeling where you know you never want to see that person again, but what about if you're just not sure? What if you need a couple of dates to figure it out? At what point do you go all in or decide it's time to cash out?
