The Sport of Dating

Date #9

Ok, so with company in town, scheduling difficulties and sickness hovering like a cloud over me for the last couple of weeks I have been shirking my duties. However, this week I am going to make it up by hopefully going on at least 4 dates. I went on a hot streak on Saturday night and got 3 numbers, 2 with the quick pick-up (we’ll start calling it a “QPU” from now on). Anyway, let’s get started.

Age: 25
Score: 16.5 (8 face/8.5 body) – the face score could go up, but as it is, half the time you look at her she is super cute, the other half she is hot. She is a two-face. Fortunately both of the faces are pleasing, but it is really confusing trying to decide on a score.
Occupation: Banking
Hometown: Cedar Rapids, Iowa

So #9 and I met on Saturday night and clicked immediately. It turns out Z had his eye on her, but I was not aware of this because it looked like he was hopping on her friend. It turns out Z’s girl was angry. Not at anything in particular, just in general – angry. I noticed that #9 was very cute (Face #1) and as we talked I liked her more and more. She is a huge college football fan and seemed to have a steady family life. I will say though, I had a lot to drink at this point and could have made a mistake. So, I walked her home at the end of the evening and as I was standing there I decided to double-check to see if I got her number correct. As I was scrolling through my phone I realized that I had forgotten her name. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t remember. I was just praying that I would see it and it would trigger something in my head, but in my drunken state I was helpless. I kept scrolling until she saw my problem and said “Do you have any other _______s in your phone?” Cool girl. She definitely gets bonus points for that. So we started making out in front of her building. In the middle of making out on the street she stops me and says “I don’t normally do this.” Oh really.

Ok girls, this paragraph is for you. If you think that your behavior might be questionable and you feel like you want to say something to defend yourself, don’t. Here’s why: when you say something like “I usually don’t do this” or “I've never done this before” guys immediately think, “Oh, so you did this last night.” Even if what you’re saying is the truth, we think it is a lie. Most likely we aren’t even thinking about it, but then when you bring it up, it brings it to mind and can possibly reflect negatively on you. Fortunately #9 doesn’t get any negative points because we were just kissing on the street. That is a harmless thing and if she was worried about what I would think about her for that she probably isn’t a floozy. Usually, you hear the “I’ve never done this before” right after a girl puts her hair in a pony tail the first night you meet her.

So #9 and I went out the next day and when she got in the cab she looked hot (Face #2). We had a great dinner and she was completely normal, fun to be around and most importantly appeared to be issue-free (possible girlfriend material). We will be going out again in the near future. After the date we kissed on her doorstep. Though this time she didn’t say anything about not normally doing that because I would have known it was a lie.
