"I can make you breakfast"...

So last night was my date with MrMD.
I was looking forward to it because I had fun on our first date.
And this post will be filled with my over thinking/analyzed ramblings.


We spoke earlier in the week and he asked when I could be downtown.
Which kind of made me a little annoyed.
Because it would be great if he picked me up (even if he does live right downtown and I live way out in the northeast)...it would be the gentlemanly thing to do but how do you suggest THAT to someone.
And in all reality any date that I want to go on (ie. fun restaurant etc.  EVERYthing is downtown...which is why I need to move there haha).


So I made my way down there and parked my car.
He did call me to meet me by the parking garage so he could escort me 
(so he is a gentleman).
He complimented me (which I loved) and told me "you make winter look good" (we have been having so much spring weather but yesterday was absolutely freezing and there was flurries drifting down as we walked to the restaurant).


I was overdressed in a black and white polk a dot wrap dress and red heels.
He was wearing jeans and a polo and running shoes.
Can I just vent a little and say how much I detest running shoes.
Even if they are the casual non athletic ones I do not like them one bit.
Jacob used to wear these horrible ones all the time so that may have a little influence on why I dislike them so much!
Moving on...though I feel bad because he did in fact apologize for being a little casually dressed.


So we went to dinner at a place called Lee. 
This place is by Susur Lee (a pretty famous chef who coincidentally has a restaurant in Singapore and Washington,DC also).
MrMD told me to get ready for a "flavour explosion in my mouth" I had to bite my tongue to keep from giggling because obviously my mind went to a not so nice place with that haha.

Loved the decor...it is certainly a happening downtown place...I loved it.

The food and cocktails and people watching was fabulous.
We shared three dishes together and we had great conversation though I'm afraid I was way too chatty.
That is my biggest difficulty I think...I can be way way too chatty.


So then the dinner bill comes and he picks it up.
So we cleared that hurdle...I think...
Then he asks the waiter to borrow a pen and starts scrawling something on the back of the receipt.
I must have been looking at him funny because he said that he used his business account because we did talk about our work.
And I was a little bothered by this.
Should I be bothered by this????
I obviously jump to the conclusion that he doesn't value my company enough to pay from his personal money...actually THAT is what I should have said/joked about...but of course I didn't.


So then he suggested we could go to a movie or go to a club.
I suggested a movie because a club may be hard to hear (though I guess in a movie you don't talk at all...hmmm maybe I was a little tipsy from my two drinks haha).
So when we realized it was close to 11:30 and going to a movie theater wasn't really an option he suggested we watch a movie at his place.
And I hesitated.

And then decided why the heck not.
His place was really pretty and modern.
And clean which is a definite good thing.


He gave me a tour and it also let me get to know him better.
From his tour I found out he paints (two landscapes of places he had traveled to), he is active (bike), he DJ's for fun (turntables evidence) and he has a nice eye for things (he had a bright red bench in his entrance I loved).  
So he opened a bottle of wine and put out some cheese/crackers/hummus.  
(I really liked that he was a good host).
And we started to watch The Muppets (yea that's what we picked).

Shortly after it started.
He kissed me.
And it was really nice.
But I pulled away a little with the excuse that I'm shy.
I just don't like to move fast at all.
So we alternated between talking/watching the movie/making out.
I'm wondering if sometimes he started to kiss me because I was chatting too much which is a DEFINITE possibility...oops.


The making out was really fun but anytime it was starting to move more towards lying down making out on a couch versus sitting up I sort of pulled away.
I am so SO terrible at not letting myself relax or simply enjoy the moment sometimes.
In all reality I'm 30 and a grown up and if I wanted to fool around a little I should.
But then I'm like hmmm it's a second date.
And let's face it I simply get attached a little to quickly.


He was sweet and told me that he had been looking at my EH profile for months hoping we would meet.
Maybe this is just an EH pick up line though.
So as the movie ended and the making out continued.
I said "it's late".
He said "I could make you breakfast"
I laughed and said maybe another time.


He drove me to my car and then I started to head home.
I do like him.
But I'm unsure and think maybe he isn't that into me.
Because I over think things like that.
Even if he did send me a test last night when I got home saying he had a great time.
Apparently I need a lot more assurance then I thought.


To be continued...I think.

One under the belt

So yesterday I had my first date with MrMD.
And y'all I was so SOOOO nervous!
I was frantically messaging Taylor before hand so I would have something to do while waiting outside the place we were meeting.

I wore a cute outfit I will try and post pics later in the week.
Anywho I was a nervous wreck.
So much so I wrote about it before hand.

So I was early (as usual) so I decided to wait outside the place in the sunshine.
As I tried to look cool (and busy myself with my phone!)
And tried not to fall over in nude high heels.
I noticed my pantyhose was rather shiny in the sunlight.
Taylor reassured me that it was very Kate Middleton so I felt a ton better.

And walked up and I smiled nervously hoping it was this guy I was about to have coffee with.
(It was).
I gave him a hug and he told me I looked great.
We grabbed a coffee at the Thompson Diner.

So this is how the Thompson does diner.
(How I think every diner should be but that's just the snob in me!)

Pic from here

So we grabbed a coffee and quickly fell into conversation.
I was nervous so I'm sure I was pretty fidgety.
After we sipped through our coffee's he suggested we take advantage of the beautiful weather and walk around downtown.
(Which just so happens to be one of my favourite activities in Toronto because there is always fun stuff to explore).
My only suggestion to him was that I be allowed to change from my sky high heels into flats (thank goodness I had a pair in the car).

On our walk I found myself giggling (a lot).
And finding an excuse or two to nudge him, touch his arm etc.
He was nice and funny (and cute).
I laughed at his comparison to a random event going on and some drama spilling onto the sidewalk to West Side Story (he seriously referenced the Jets/Sharks!)
Which is perfect for my nerdy self.

Then as we were returning back towards the diner.
He made a comment along the lines of 'I feel like I should take you out for dinner'.
Which was sort of an invitation I guess.
I was so incredibly nervous!
I had some things to get done though so I politely suggested 'sometime soon'.
I told him I had a really good time.

Then the awkward end of the date came.
And it's only awkward because I am the most awkward end of date person!
We hugged and then I found myself (for the first time in a LONG time) turning my face towards his.
(I usually turn away especially at this moment which is why I never kissed MM (and we went on like 9 dates now wonder we stopped hanging out!!))
So we kissed and then I as so super nervous and panicky and freaking out that it was maybe awkward and maybe I was too forward.
Kissed him again!
(Go big or go home I guess...well they were both nice closed mouth kisses...okay now I'm just going into way to much detail because I'm still all nervous about it haha).
So I found myself smiling as I drove away.

Then I heard nothing from him after.
(Usually boys message me right away...well at least in the beginning).
And then today I didn't hear from him until this evening.
I'm totally being melodramatic.

He made some sweet comment about thinking about my smile.
Then we made plans for a Friday night date.
I must like him because my Friday night slot is a premium position haha.
But I'm going to take my time with this one.
And also keep the roster wide open.
Even if I do have a good feeling about this one.

Bundle of Nerves

Pic from here

I have a date in just a few short hours.
And I'm a bundle of nerves.
It's silly really.
I shouldn't feel any nervousness I'm just meeting a guy for a drink.

But it's really my first date since these.
How crazy is it that it's been almost two months since then?!?!
And the reason it's probably on my mind...

This date is taking place at the Thompson Diner.
You guessed it one of the four restaurants/lounges around the same Thompson that MrDentist lives every weekend.
Well he used to.
I assume at this point he's found a condo etc.
And even if he hasn't there is like 0 chance of running into him because he always spent Sundays with his family.

I just need to get back on the horse and start dating again.
And I need not to be stressing the potential awkward silences
(even though there was one during our phone conversation this week).
It's no big deal.
Really I could talk to a brick wall...I'm a total chatter.
Just have to remind myself.
This is not a big deal.

I'm back...e-dating that is.

Y'all just wanted to update you.
I'm back on the proverbial horse.
Back to making dates.

Just got off the phone.
Had a great conversation with MrMD (because MrDoctor has already come and gone).
Well no.
Here's the low down what happened with MrDoctor.
He went to India for 6 weeks and got back in February.
And he texted me.
To invite me indoor rock climbing with him and his friends tonight.
I declined.
Because either I'm his "buddy" or he wants to introduce me to his friends.
And I'm ready for neither.

I need to be a LOT more picky then I was previously.
So first date back.
MrMD this Sunday.

I'll give you an update after it happens.
He has started off on the right foot.
He told me I had the best smile and pictures he has ever seen on EH.
And they aren't even bikini pics haha.

Either way I'm going to just sit back and enjoy it.
Because last time I was all "playing the field" it let me be more open to meeting someone.
Even if MrDentist turned out to sort of be a jerk.

So in honour of this...
One of my new fav songs that I like to listen to when get ready for a date.
