The Uniform always turns on

I had a date with a Navy recruiter. Uniforms always get me in trouble. You would think that I would have learned by now but there is just something about a uniform that is a huge turn on. He sent me the first email we met through one of the ridiculous dating sites that have "the ability and technology for the perfect match" but still want you to sign on and pay for a year membership.

We met for lunch not far from the office where he works. His photos online weren't anything to smile about so I wasn't to impressed with the photos but the profile and what he had to say was nice and made him more interesting. Let me inform you about the photos. None of them were in his uniform and in all of them he was dressed like a 14 year old boy wearing hats and hoodies and showing a couple of peace signs. These obviously did not impress me.

I arrived at the restaurant first and got a table not far from the door then I could watch him come in. I was really looking forward to seeing him in his uniform. Wow, when he walked in, I was pleasantly shocked. He looks nothing like the photos online. He is very cute and you know that uniform fits him just like they always fit in my dreams. I rose from the table and walked to him as he entered the restaurant. He looked at me with a big smile then announced to the host that he would be sitting with me that he already had a table. That is how he said it too.

We sat down at the table and he asked me how I was, five times. I told him, "You already asked me how I am five times." Then he very cutely replied, "I know, I'm sorry. You are more beautiful than your photos. I am a little nervous."

We both kept smiling at each other. I love a man in uniform. It usually gets me into trouble though. I probably should run when I see them but damn, I can't help it. It is a weakness I guess.

We tried to order our food, luckily I had been there before and ordered what I always order. He placed his order then we began to talk. He went into what I correctly assumed was his recruitment speech, talking about himself and how he joined the Navy and what a great opportunity it is for others. "Are you giving me your recruitment speech?" I asked him as I smiled and turned my head to one side. He smiled and turned a little red. "Sorry, I'm nervous and I automatically go into that because I say it so often as I talk to other people about joining the Navy." "It's okay" I told him.

Our food arrived and his nerves eased up on him a bit. I couldn't stop looking at him so cute in his sailor uniform. Then he asked me, "Do you always stare at people? Or is this something you are just doing now?" I started laughing, I told him that I was just looking at how cute he was and no, I don't normally stare at people."

I looked away and continued to eat my food while thinking to myself what a dork I am. lol

As we ate we talked about lots of different topics, likes, dislikes, travels, education, just about everything. Our date was about an hour and a half and it was difficult to leave but he had to go back to work. Both of us agreed that we would like to see each other again. We exchanged cell phone numbers and texts. I was leaving Portland in a few days so we chatted online.

What a dumb guy. He starts talking about sex and asking questions that are much too personal and non of his business. Sometimes I wonder if there really are any decent men out there. Time to say good bye to this guy.
