So I think I mentioned both guys were named Brian, which was very helpful, didn't have to worry about calling one the wrong name. And yes, there was a clear winner, but I'll let you be the judge:
Monday night, Pasadena- meet Brian #1 outside his work place, he's ok looking, kind of short and wimpy looking, but whatever. He seems like he doesn't recognize me which is weird because I have lots of pics on my profile, including some recent ones with blonde hair. Tells me he thought I had long dark hair, I say no, it's been short and blonde for a while. I park and we walk to Barney's Beanery, I order a vodka tonic, he orders orange juice (OJ, really?), then I order a quesadilla, he orders soup and sandwich (chicken noodle & roast beef, geeze he's white). Convo is eh; I'm asking most of the questions, he's watching the game, and honestly, am I interested, not so much, but I always figure, make the best of it. About an hour in, we've finished eating, so we go, he doesn't suggest doing anything else, walks me back to my car, hugs me and kisses me on the cheek, ta da, done. I get home, go online, and see I have an email from him, subject is Wow. And it says, "you don't look anything like your pictures, I think it's a little misleading, you should have some recent ones posted, not that you aren't attractive, you are, but still, blah blah blah". So I email back "I do have some pics (and I attach one) with my current hair, and btw, the only thing different is the hair, my weight and face are exactly the same." So then he says, oh, I didn't realize that was you in the pic (it's me and two girlfriends), I thought you were the one in the middle (she's 15 years younger, but also mixed race). And I say well, that's why IT'S CAPTIONED (idiot) and there's no response (obviously realizes he's an idiot). And that was date #1.
Tuesday night, my place- Brian #2 picks me up, comes to the door, gives me a hug, we go down to his car, he opens the door for me and shuts it. He's not sure how to get from my place to Burbank so I am the navigator, we chat all the way into Burbank and go to a Mexican restaurant he knows. Parks, tells me, wait, I'll get your door, comes around and opens it and we go into the restaurant. We order drinks (diet coke for him, iced tea for me), then he asks what I want for an appetizer, we order a quesadilla. When he takes the first bite, it's too hot, he has to wash it down with some water, that goes down the wrong pipe, snot comes out of his nose, it's a beautiful scene. But, luckily I'm not easily grossed out, he's appologizing profusely, I'm like, no worries, stuff happens. Dinner goes much better than it started, we both get salads, neither of us can finish our food, just way too big of portions. Then we drive into downtown Burbank (gets my door for me again), go to shoot some pool, he asks in the car if it's ok to kiss me, I'm like, eh, why not so I say sure, he's an ok kisser but could use some pointers, he thinks I'm GREAT at it which I am ;). He sucks at pool and doesn't know the rules, I am a little less sucky but lose the first game to him because I do know and abide by the rules, but win the second game. Then he drives me home, walks me to my door, I let him come in for a minute to meet Monkee who seems to like him, we kiss a little more and makes plans for a second date Saturday then off he goes. First thing this morning at work there's an email thanking me for last night and saying he can't wait till Sat.
So, which date would y'all say went better, #1 or #2? :p
