Okay, so I let my guard down and ventured into the online thing this past week. That got me some interesting guys and two dates this weekend - one I went on yesterday and the other coming up at 7pm today.

So Guy 1 - I went out with him yesterday - we went to a lounge and had 2 drinks each. Before the date, we talked for quite some time - about football, family, goals, etc. He seemed interesting and we seem to have a lot in common. Out of the two guys, Guy 1 is the one I find less attractive but I didn't want to make all judgments on looks. So after the bar, he asked what I wanted to do. I really wasn't into anything high life last night - I just wanted to chill. He suggested renting a movie and going to watch it. I gave in but said his place, not mine! I know. BIG NO NO - don't go home with him on the first date. BUT - we didn't have any sex. I refused to, and told him that straight up. He was into me, I could sense and he even said it. I wasn't soooo into him, I just didn't feel much chemistry. And to top it off- his place was a straight bachelor pad - - umm, not really! It was dirtier than one! lol. I felt a little "eeewww" so I sat on the couch and refused to touch anything, drink anything, eat anything, lol. I said I was okay. We watched the movie - he cuddled up on me a bit and I was fine with it. He even kissed me a few times and it was okay. But there just wasn't that tingly feeling. After the movie, I went home. This was last night. So I wonder - in terms of having aspirations, goals, etc, we are on the same page. He's got a good head on his shoulders. BUT, he seems a tad not as matured as I'd want and the dirty thing just concerns me. And the most important - no chemistry. But people keep saying chemistry can be built over time, right?

Guy 2: I have a date with him today at 7 - he's taking me to dinner. He asked if I wanted to do dinner or the movies. I said dinner because I can't get to know him at the movies :) He's 12 years older than me (I've always liked older and more matured guys). He's in his early 40s. I'm really looking forward to this date but there was a slight issue today. The date was initially at 4 but then he called me and asked if we could do it at 7 instead. Initially, when we discussed time, I had said anytime after 4pm will be okay for me so I really couldn't change and said I'm not available. I don't want to turn the "change of time" into what it isn't though.

So now that I'm going on this date, are there specific questions I should be asking? We will be eating dinner so plenty of time to talk. I'm just a little nervous . . .

"But people keep saying chemistry can be built over time, right?" You are the one who knows best if you feel chemistry with a man - the only thing I'd say about this is that I would be completely turned off that he thought so little of me and of himself to invite me into to a dirty environment - ewww, NEXT!

Second one - he asked if you could meet a little later, I don't see a problem. Sometimes things happen, maybe it was his work, I don't know. I'd simply relax and Enjoy - have fun at dinner!

Oh, and it doesn't need to be an interview - if you let him talk and you listen to what he says, you'll learn a lot about him. Enjoy! :)
