My First Online Date Report Back

Tonight marked my first online date in recorded history. If you consider blogging recording and my life between May 3rd and June 18th history. Or should I say [cue the Indigo Girls cassette] herstory! As fans know, it was with on-phone Josh. I was LATE. Doy! Oh well. He was really, really sweet and engaged in what we were saying. The phone doesn't do his dorkiness justice, and he has a pretty dorky voice. But again, he was so nice. And he was smart and funny. He asked me a lot of questions, which is nice. We had already established that we had googled each other when we spoke on phone so we were prepared and we had the material from our phone convo to work with. I wouldn't turn my head to look at him if we passed each other on the street type thing, but he has something cute about him. He was also nervous and awkward. I realize that I like when guys come off as shy and confident because of my own insecurities. I'll talk more about that soon. But the point is I didn't feel totally at ease. Of course if he were a friend or a guy with a girlfriend I would be totally comfortable in the presence of his awkwardness.

After two hours siting, drinking, talking and asking each other questions, we walked to the subway. He didn't try to kiss me, which I didn't want to do, so that was a relief. He told me to let him know if I wanted to hang out again. I said something like yeah, sounds good. So we'll see what happens. I didn't feel any "chemistry," whatever that means. But I'm definitely open to going on a few more dates. Maybe there will be some chemistry coming soon. Although I don't know how much I believe in gradual or delayed chemistry. Something to think about, readers.
