Date & Dish

I went out with the Engineer on Saturday after much ambiguous communication.  We had started emailing each other last week and had moved on to rather lengthy IM sessions in the evening hours.  The Engineer is originally from Virginia and had recently moved to Atlanta after studying at the Savannah College of Art in historic […]

Last night the Designer and I went out on our second date.  He picked me up and we drove to the Farmer’s Market to pick up some dungeoness crabs for dinner.  I don’t really have great seafood preparation skills and I had never prepared crab so I let the Designer take the lead.  We picked […]

I’m happy to report that I finally had a good date last night.
The Designer and I had exchanged a few emails last week and made plans to get together at 9 pm last night for drinks.  I hadn’t talked to him on the phone and thought it would be a good idea to get a […]

I went out on 2 dates this weekend.
I met with the Illustrator on Friday night at local cafe for a drink and a small bite.  The Illustrator works at my old alma mater and is an artsy type.  When I got to the cafe I noticed that he had already ordered himself a drink - […]

After my hopeful post yesterday regarding the Republican, my enthusiasm quickly morphed into disappointment.  I called the Republican yesterday afternoon to solidify evening plans and did not hear back from him.  So swallowing the remainder of my pride, I sent a text, asking if we were still on for the evening.  I received a text […]

Last night I went to a happy hour with a group that meets monthly for no other purpose other than to drink and socialize.  I like the group.  The first time I went to one of their events, I met the Republican.  We shmoozed like champions over drinks and then continued our banter over dinner.  […]

Monday night I went out with the Chemist. I had just gotten back from my beach trip and although I was exhausted, I was also hungry.  The Chemist was rather eager to meet, so we went down the street to get some food. I already had reservations about the Chemist:  1) two members of his […]

I went to the beach last weekend with 15 other people.
Prior to leaving, I was really waffling on whether to go or not.  I thought I had a ride down with a friend, but as it turned out, she planned on taking someone else and I was left to fend for myself.  One of the […]

I’m not big on talking on the phone.  Unless it’s someone from out of town that I absolutely have to catch up with, I like to keep my phone calls short and sweet.
I did however, in a very uncharacteristic move, spend 1hr 40mins on the phone two nights ago with the Chemist.   I had no […]

Last night I had an impromptu date with a guy that I met online.  I took a chance and went out with him after a fun IM chat session earlier in the day, without having talked to him on the phone.  He suggested we meet for ice cream, which sounded yummy and easy.
As I was approaching […]
