Remember I wrote about this guy that is super nice but we're not relationshipable? Yeah, I just invented that word. lol We have become friends and hanging out sometimes. Yeah, I know I am playing with fire here because I know he likes me but he is a nice friend too.
It has been made VERY clear that we're not relationshipable but we can be friends. So I actually feel more comfortable because he knows that the line stays at friendship. It is like have a that gay best friend almost every woman needs except this guy is straight. lol
We went to dinner and a movie. I know I eat slow but he eats so fast. Since it is so obvious, we talk about it sometimes. On our recent date...uh... get together...hang out...together. Okay, that's weird, what do I call it now??? Anyway, this time when he finished way before me, he waited for me to finish and didn't make me feel rushed.
We went to a movie and just had a nice time together. I like hanging out with him because he is so nice and likes doing fun things. He is pretty shy though, I am hoping I can get him out of that, he is beginning to open up and talk more. He is really funny. I almost feel selfish about keeping him to myself. I truly hope that he finds a great woman in his life because he is really a great guy but important factor for each of us don't match up. He has great eyes too. *smile* I am glad we can be friends. At least I have found a friend in this monster filled sewer of dates.

Arcade games and no touchy
The movie Avatar has been in theaters for sometime and has been doing very well. People who have seen it say it is really good. My date last night took me to see this movie and it was good but but I felt it to be longer than it needed to be. It was two and a half hours long, that is a long time to be sitting in a movie theater. I am not into the big chase scenes and the violence. I am sure that is to please the male factor in the audience. But other than that, it was good. The movie is an updated version of Pocahontas for the Y2K generation.
First the date started at a popular pizza and arcade place. He likes to play video games and it seems his intellect may not be any broader than that. We met there, I was starving since I had spent all day in the ceramics lab at school I didn't have time for lunch. The pizza was good too. :)
He may spend a lot of time playing video games at home but I kicked his but at air hockey and table soccer. It was good exercise playing those games for an hour. Another thing, part of the method to my madness was to keep him at a distance away. With him across a big game table he wouldn't be able to try and rub my back. *Shivers* Every chance he had, he would try to rub my back. If I walked next to him, he would reach over and rub my back and the same if I sat next to him. No touchy! I would intentionally walk fast so he couldn't do that. I also made sure not to initiate and physical contact like no hugging, no touching his hand or arm, no little punches to the shoulder, none of that. I could see he was handy enough and didn't want to encourage it. The theater had wide seats so I sat all the way to the other side of my seat to make sure there wasn't any chance of an arm being put around me.
Anytime I would say anything to start a conversation he would just say "Yup." Is that even a word? "Yup." "Yup." "Yup." That was his response to nearly everything. This guy is definitely from Wisconsin. No offence to you Wisconsinites reading this. But if you have dated a man from Wisconsin, then perhaps you know what I am talking about. I am sure he was probably just nervous though.
It was late, 10:30 by the time the movie was over. I went home and was surprised around 11:20pm when I received a phone call from the guy. He was "Just checking to make sure you made it home alright." That was nice because the weather was terrible. the fog was so thick driving home, it was like having Stevie Wonder drive.

Pre-birthday date
The day before my birthday I had a date with a really nice guy. He took me to one of my favorite restaurants, Japanese. It was on Saturday and I had never been there on a Saturday and probably will never go on a Saturday again. It was a two hour and 20 minute wait. Can you believe that?
When we finally did get to our table, it was a lot fun. The chef cooking with all of the flips and fancy vegetable cutting, tall fires and flipping shrimp tails in everyone's drinks.
My date told them that it was my birthday and they bring you a birthday cake that has "Happy Birthday" written on it in Japanese. Then they take your picture, put it in a card, and sing "Happy Birthday" in Japanese. The food was always oh so good! Eating the left-overs the next day is the second best part of eating dinner there. lol
Thank you young man. It was a lot of fun and I have a cool card to remember it by.

Sad chuckles
The whole thing was just... I don't know where to begin. He called me, we had a short phone date. He speaks very quiet on the phone and a little bit slow. I could hear his nervousness clamor through the phone in his nervous chuckle that he seemed to do anytime there was a brief moment of silence or after finishing a sentence.
We met at one of his favorite restaurants. He was short and very closed in. You could see his shy and timid personality that out shined his portliness. He talked and walked with his head on a down angle most likely due to his shy timid demeanor.
The hostess began the long walk to our table and it was then that I noticed that the petite awkward man, took very small steps. Steps that made him appear that he was almost on the verge of stumbling forward which made him appear to be even more awkward. We sat at our table which compared to him was tiny. He ate like a starving animal. He was far finished before I even made it close to the half of my dinner. The plans were to have dinner then go see a movie. I would have liked to have ended the date after dinner but not because of anything terrible, but really it was a sad state and an uncomfortable situation.
It was sad really, it was like seeing a wounded deer. You're not sure if your should put them out of their misery of take them to a vet. Either way, you can't take them home. He obviously is strong and brave enough to ask women out on dates. So you have to give him credit there. Most men are big chicken shits that way.
He told me some sad stories about his life. You could easily see how socially inept he is. Which made it all the more obvious of his lonely state. Ugh, I felt so much pity for him. His nervous chuckle was getting hard to ignore. I am sure he probably didn't even realize he was doing it.
It was an uncomfortable and fast dinner I wanted to end the date. I truly did not want to add to anymore unfortunate moments in this guy's life.
We found the theater and looked around for seats. He didn't fit well in the seats, he kind of had to sit in on an angle. I felt even worse. We didn't have any conversation through the movie. The movie we saw was When in Rome it was funny. After the movie we were walking out "Maybe we could go for a drink or something." I smiled and said, "Thank you but no." He said that he really enjoyed it and hoped we can go out again sometime.
A little red cartoon devil popped up and sat on my left shoulder and said, "Don't do it. You are already uncomfortable. Don't do it, I know you're thinking about it." Then another little cartoon devil buddy of his popped up right next to him. He was in full agreement with the first rude cartoon. The second one said to the first in a much higher voice as if he were inhaling helium. "You know she will. Let's just see what happens." Then they looked on as if something terribly interesting was going to occur. Then on my right shoulder a little elf popped up. My internal mind just looked at him and said, "Hey, where is my shoulder Angel?" The little elf just looked at me and said, "I came instead, on behalf of your date." "Oh no, that's not fair." I said to the little elf who actually appeared to be made of plastic. He looked more like one of those little gnome's in an old woman's front lawn. You know the ones with the pick ax and the big smile on their face. They are supposed to be cute but the creepiness factor is definitely underestimated.
Then my date told me he had a really nice time. In my mind I can't understand why. I just took a deep breath and said with a half smile, "Sure, we can go out again some time." Again, I thanked him for the movie and dinner, shook his hand and wished him a safe drive.
As I walked back to my car those damn little cartoon devils jumped up and did a high five. Those little bastards! Then the elf looking gnome guy popped up again, still holding the pick ax in his hands says, "Well, I guess I won't be needing this." and disappeared. The little red cartoon devils with their little horns and pointy tails weren't going anywhere that quickly. They hung around for a bit laughing and poking fun at me.
Later that evening the guy sent me an email telling me what a great time he had on our date. I could only imagine the horrible dates he must have endured for this one to be considered a great time.
