and here, I thought I'd never change...
so, I'm torn between dishing and privately savoring, today.
so I'm going to skate between the two extremes, if y'all don't mind.
went on a first date last night that was so disgustingly perfect, I can't quite believe that it happened. I thought I was good, but I must now defer to him as the master of the genre. he had just the right amount of cool and composed and fun and flirty and trying-to-impress-without-being-ostentatious. If I don't end up dating this man, I really really need to take his class in 'how to plan a perfect first date' because, well, he could show me a thing or two.
I can tell you that it was a date right out of Some Kind of Wonderful except:
'keith' was dashing, slightly more confident, and not arguing with his father.
I was both 'amanda jones' and 'watts', with a slightly cooler outfit than amanda but nowhere near as cool as watts' hourglass of satin
the surprise gift before dinner was neither jewelry nor was it loaded with meaning, but it certainly was something I love and would never have expected on a first date (and no, he didn't blow me, so get your minds out of the gutter, ladies)
dinner, at Spring, did not feature hamburger on a silver platter.
the after-dinner party we attended was less crowded, and had no impending rich kids vs. the burnouts war.
lucky for me, being the amanda jones of this story means I got to go on the date and get the lovely complements and be charmed and charming, but at the end, I got to be watts.
if you haven't seen the movie, I won't spoil it for you.
and if you have, well, i have no idea if there'll be a future. but the present is pretty damned spectacular.
