A date....

Last night I went on a date. **GASPS** A real life, guy, who calls girl and invites her on a date.
~looks around~

I couldn't beleive it myself. It's been so long that I almost forgot what a "gentleman" really was! Here is what happened:

A month ago I was getting off work at the bar, and I made my last stop at a place my friend was hosting Karaoke. I had just enough time to sing and have a drink to wind down, from being the "entertainment" to being me. This fine gentleman asks me to dance, I say "yes" and after he asked for my number. I kindly gave it to him and was not SUPER surprised when I didn't hear from him right away.

OK

Fast forward to last Wednesday night. Pending the news, about the fact, that I will be without a paycheck for 8 weeks, I decided to dust off the glow bag of novelties and sell, sell, sell. While at one of my stops, WHOM should I run into??? That is right, Newest guy. He immediatly appologized for not calling me. I of course played coi...*OH no problem. I am sure you are busy* banter. Well, then he offered to buy me a drink. I politly refused, reminding him that I have "work" in the morning, and I need my beauty rest. I thanked him and said, "if you would like to spend time with me, call me". *smiles and waves* Then, I walked off.

I am here to tell you the next day he called to set up a date. HMMM funny how playing hard to get works! ~smacks head~ DUH!
It's simple uys...Call and I will SCHEDULE a date. Clearly, I like to eat!!!
OK

SOOO

back to the story.
We settle on meeting for Suschi and entertainment after. I suggested on of my favorite "haunts" for the Suschi. ***he is "new" to Phx from Tuscon area via NY so I have a better lay of the land.*** I politly "suggested" menu items and then let him order. ~rolls eyes~ Do you know how exhausting it is to be all nice and charming...nevermind LETTING a man do my talking??? OK but, I am being COI and "playing" by the rules. Remember, I kind of like this one. Being that I had control of the suggestion on where we go and what we do, he asked me if I knew of any jazz clubs. UM no. But, I can look them up and see. He suggests we go to Karaoke and we agreed.

We then went to a Karaoke bar and sang. I ended the date no longer than 4.5 hours. (Rules book 1. girls end the date and Keep them wanting MORE check, check) Tell me what y'all think:

Rating of the date 1 star for ok.....5 for OUTSTANDING... here we go.

1. He paid for my dinner, drinks and such. 1 Star
2. He opened all my doors. 1 Star
3. He asked me to dance, even though there was no dance floor. 1 Star
4. He engaged conversation. We were able to talk about EVERYTHING Politics to nieces crazy babysitting adventures. 1 Star
5. He set up a 2nd date at the end of our date, while he walked me to my car. 1 Star

I am rating Newest guy at a 5 star "Top Shelf" OUTSTANDING date.
OK fellow bloggers, do I go on a 2nd date? or should Newest guy get the brush off???
