Tess Explains It All

Yes.. I’m sure you’ve all been wondering how my date went this last weekend. And I’m finally here to write about it.

I had NO idea what to expect because a) I haven’t been on a real date in years and b) he could have looked totally different than his online pictures. That’s the scariest part. Well…I walked into the restaurant, saw him right away and THANK GOD … he was cute and normal looking.

The date was pretty perfect. We had appetizers, we wine tasted, and we talked. There werent any awkward pauses or forced conversation…it just went smoothly.

It’s funny when you meet a guy and you’re on a date with him for the first time. I know I personally do a quick mental check list on what I see:
Hair – dorky, casual or hot? Hot
Pants- trying too hard, no sense of style, perfect, casual? Casual
Shirt-  dressy, casual, too tight, no sense of style? Casual
Height-short, tall, good enough? Short
Personality- natural, goofy, dorky, douchey, innocent? Natural and goofy
Established in life- no, yes, getting there? Getting there
Face- attractive, not attractive, potential? Attractive

As you can see… most of my analyzing was positive. So we were off to a good start. The date lasted 4 1/2 hours and if I had to rate it I would say all in all it was about a 7. I could tell we had a lot in common but at the same time we were complete opposites. He laughed at my jokes (which I appreciate), he kept the conversation interesting, and he was sweet. He casually brought up other dates he had been on and he mentioned the word “calories” one too many times. But he did buy me a new drink that will be my new go to drink for awhile. Vodka soda with a splash of red bull. Yum!

The date ended beautifully and I felt great about it. Now let the games begin! Will he call? Will there be a second date? Should I call? What is he thinking? You know… #singlegirlproblems
