All about Chemistry...
There are many types of chemistry and as stated before, I experienced many forms of them Tuesday night. But I am not yet ready to rehash Tuesday night's date--it has enough issues without giving it the kiss of death that happens when I disclose too much here! ;)
There are guys I have chemistry with online, but not in person. There are people I am less than thrilled with online, but in person, they floor me, which is why I am willing to go out with guys I am not initially interested in pursuing.
Chemistry can be physical, emotional, intellectual, humorous, spiritual etc.
I had very good online/phone chemistry with the doctor in Columbia. I even hazard a guess that he thought there was at least a spark in person.
He called me at 9:30 in the evening and convinced me to meet him for a drink. He was in town and wanted to meet me before he headed back to Columbia. It was sexy and spontaneous.
Problem #1:
I had 2 Diet Cokes at work a scant 2 hours before meeting him.
Problem #2:
I don't drink much caffeine during the summer, so 2 Diet Cokes (16.9 oz bottles) can almost put me in a frenzy somewhat like Tom Cruise's on Oprah.
Problem #3:
Date had drinks at dinner before meeting me.
Problem #4:
Date had more drinks at bar before I got there.
Problem #5:
Date thought I was hyper, which I was, but hearing that made me feel red-faced and shamed, even though he insisted it wasn't a problem.
Problem #6:
I really think he was less than sober when we left...although he insisted he was fine--and I guess it is possible that he has an orthopedic problem that caused him to not walk straight.
Problem #7:
He didn't walk me to my car.
Yep--I'll go on the semi-planned second date with him--because it is what I do.
But no, I felt no click with him.
IM boy, on the other hand, while we click IMing, needs to actually CALL me. Well, first he needs to ask me for my number, and THEN he needs to call me. And we need to get together. And I would hate to disappoint, so if he really wants to make out with my "pretty face" (his words, not mine!)I would probably do that. Because not all chemistry is as pure and innocent as the ones I listed above.

Glad that you will still give him a second date.
Do you have another date set up with the one from the other day?
Can't you ask IM boy is he would like to call you?
I love reading your blogs. Because I know that one of these times it going to read 'I FOUND MY PRINCE'! And, then I can say a big, fat 'I told you so'!

It is a game with him. He can ask if he is interested. He is a bit more arrogant than I normally like, so I refuse to feed the ego. I can be bullheaded, and sometimes that is good, sometimes not so much. We'll see how it pans out this time around. :)
And I can't wait to say I've met my prince! And of course you, Patty, Linae and the whole crew will be invited to the small, yet tasteful and elegant wedding! :)
