Bad smoking but a good dinner

How did my date go last night? The beginning was slow, typical for this area as we went for a couple of drinks. Er go, he bought me a couple of drinks and he drank soda pop. He said that he didn't drink, which is a good thing. Drinking is not to common for me either but he kept buying them and I told him Pisces is a fish but we don't swim in alcohol. He replied bluntly, "Just trying to get you loosen up and away from your inhibition." Okay, that is a bad sign if a man says this, especially on the first date. What is it with guys? They quickly revert to the mental status of a 13 year old boy when they are around beautiful women, or around me. lol While we were sitting at the pub, an older man and his wife were sitting next to me. When the man's wife left the for the restroom, the man leaned over to me and told me I had a very beautiful smile. He was very nice. The bartender even hit on me when my 'date' went outside the pub to have a cigarette. This actually flattered me because he was a young guy, in his late twenties. WAKKA WAKKA!

When my date pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one, that was a huge gross factor for me. YUCK! "You smoke????? That is DISGUSTING! Now I will go home STINKING like smoke!!! If you weren't going to buy me a nice dinner and I wasn't so hungry, I would leave!" That's what I said, IN MY MIND. But out my mouth came different words, I think it came out something like. "Oh, no, that's fine, you can smoke." It made me think of the movie 'Forrest Gump'. When that girl kisses Forrest Gump and he throws her on the floor. Then says that great line, "Sorry to ruin you New Years Eve party Lieutenant Dan. That girl tasted like cigarettes."

His etiquette, aside from the smoking... Not bad, could use some brushing up. He didn't swear though the whole date. There was interesting conversation. And when I say interesting, I mean he told me about some story when he was in the military about him and seven other guys shared two hookers. Why in the world would a man tell ANYONE that, especially when he was on a date? While eating bread and butter, he scooped the butter right out from the package and put it directly on the bread. Okay, so I am being too fussy about the butter thing. That I can over look but the smoking and prostitute story, not so much. He did however, put his napkin on his lap, and he used it. So he gets point for that.
He tried to be a gentleman, right up until I would say about 10:00 or so. Then he thought he was going to have a home run or at least hit a few of the bases. Boy, was he mistaken. What does he think I am fast food? Fat, cheap, and easy? Well, at least he can take no for an answer, after you say it a few dozen times.

Men, if you are reading this blog, please take these few pieces of advice.

1. Women DO NOT want to hear stories about prostitution.
2. We are not interested in fishing stories.
3. If a woman says 'no', she probably isn't going to change her mind in the following
next few minutes.
4. Do NOT even think about asking her for intimate encounters when there is no relationship between you. Women are amazing people, not toys.

We had a very nice dinner, excellent food, both of us had the surf and turf, wonderful salad bar.
The restaurant had a very large fish tank, and in it, was the largest lion fish I had ever seen in my life. It was really a beautiful sight.
