after the whole date-number-four-fix-up-mix-up i conceded to a night of hanging out with my friends. i say it like it's any sort of concession, all i want is to hang out with my friends. that's why they're my friends and not my enemies or people to whom i am indifferent.
we went to check out some improv and headed out for drinks/hanging out. right after arriving at the bar i got a text from my friend/crush/occasional date dave who happened to also be free last minute. when i started this project almost two weeks ago he suggested doing a highschoolkidtypenight. we made our way across town in the rain and ended up at the oregon diner. he opened all the doors for me and was the perfect gentleman. from inside, the chaotic reflections of christmas lights/police car lights/street lights/falling rain/puddles/mirrored walls/windows combination was perfectly both other-worldly and comfortable in contrast with the cold, wet mess outside. with milkshakes and mozzarella sticks before us we talked.
it was nice to go out with someone i already knew. we didn't have to give all the back stories and develop characters. he looked so cute and the whole experience was good. i'm calling myself out on something though: when you are on a date with someone, even if already know them it is in very poor taste to talk about other people you've been seeing. i know this. i know if he were to do it i'd be kind of annoyed or disappointed. he didn't complain and laughed when i brought it to my own attention but really cara! poor form! it's hard though, because he, along with the other fellas, know about this blog and the project as a whole. as far as the other guys go, we have always ended up talking about the project in general terms but never about the dates. it doesn't need to happen. if they end up curious they can just read it here. again self, poor form!
