Date Night

Last night was my first date with J. We had "talked" via instant messenger and through a few phone calls this week, so last night we met in Old Town and had dinner. I could tell that he was totally nervous! The conversation was easy. We know a lot of the same people, so we told lots of stories about those people. We laughed about how he found out about me. His friend from work asked what he thought of me and he said he told her, "Well, I'm not blind, she's hot, but I'm sure she has a boyfriend." So she called me to confirm and it went from there. Sometimes I think guys assume this about me...step up and ask dudes!
After dinner, we walked down by the water and around Old Town for a while. He asked if I wanted to get another drink somewhere, but I was simply spent and couldn't be my sparkling self, and I thought that I might be meeting up with C later, so I said not tonight. He offered to walk me back to my car and explained that he was a "nice guy" due to his sisters-see I think the same about my brother. You can totally tell if a guy has a sister or not. So he walked me to my car and asked if we could go out again. I said yes and we decided to go to a movie sometime. He even offered to see the same one again because I wanted to see it. The awkward end was less so when he said, "How about a hug?" I said a hug was appropriate and I left. My friend told me that he is too nice of a guy and girls tend to walk all over him, and I can see that. But I guess it's better than the alternative...Example, S who didn't call all week after our great "date" last weekend. So I sent him an angry text to tell him off Friday night and got no response. Then, this morning I woke up to 6 new voicemails from him. His story is that he lost his phone last Saturday and just got it back last night when he met up with the guy who found it. I could almost buy that, but then at least send an email saying what happened. I don't speak dumbass, dude. But again, it's the idea of the chase that gets my attention so I am trying to give nice guy a chance. I deserve someone who treats me well, and I think nice guy has potential.
