Was it a date?

Was it a date?

I had a lazy day today. It was actually quite nice since it came after a pretty interesting night. I went in to work last night and it was dead quiet. I think everyone spent their money watching the hockey playoffs, plus the weather has been gorgeous so people aren’t really into hangin out in the bars. By 9:30 my manager asked if I wanted to go home early and I said yes. I sat at the bar after work, had a couple drinks and chatted with some guys, then I headed home while I could still drive. Thise two drinks tasted very verey good. They tasted like more. 😈

So I stopped at the liquer store on the way home and picked up some Peach Ciders. I’d have preffered Pear, but they didn’t have any, so peach was ok. I was debating changing my clothes and heading out to a bar to play pool. I have no problems going out by myself. I’m not shy most of the time and there’s always someone around to play pool with. I could’ve went to see some friends I knew were out but that would’ve required driving, or a long cab ride, and I wanted to drink.

I cracked open a cider, checked my email and low and behold.. a couple of intersting emails from that new singles ad I placed.

One included a phone number so I called the guy, and we started chatting. It was good, we talked about everything under the sun, sex, relationships, jobs, everything. He’s not looking for serious, (just got out of a 5 year relationship) but he is looking for more than sex. I told him a bit of my history with men, the whole ‘only sex’ thing that tends to happen. He said sex on the first date is Bad if I like a guy, no matter what men say. Then an hour later he was mad at himself cuz I told him he’d have to wait a couple dates cuz I liked him.

I mentioned that if I do like a guy alot, sometimes I get too agressive. He was very easy to talk to. ANd sort of insightful too. He picked up on somethings I never said, or even admitteed to others. It was good. Maybe phone dating is good for me cuz then I don’t have to worry about my own lack of self control if the guy is hot. 😳

Anyway, we talked for over 6 hours!!! This is amazing as my friends know, I’m not one for phone conversations. When we hung up he asked for my number (because I’d called him) and said he’d call and wanted to go out. We’ll see if he actually does. Anyway, IF he does call….does a 6.5 phone conversation count as a first date? πŸ˜†

  1. 6.5 hours! Holy cow Sasha! πŸ˜› for what it’s worth, I think it’s great. As for my date, well, um, it fizzled. That damned World Cup got in the way… πŸ‘Ώ … now I really hate soccer LOL

    I admire your courage in picking up the phone though. I bumble and stumble on the phone like nobodys business, some I’m :mrgreen: with envy. Did you tell him you write super hot romance?

    Good work! :great:

  2. Laura, I’m so sorry to hear your date fizzled. Damn that soccer huh? Will you give the guy another chance? Maybe when there isn’t a game on?

    Yes, I told him I wrote erotica. That was about hour 3 or 4 . LOL I never told him my pen name, adn he didn’t seem to really care either way, other than the fact that I write period as he likes to read, but has never read erotica. Who knows, maybe some day I’ll give him a free book to read and see what happens. :angel:

  3. Wow! I don’t know if I could do that! I still bumble on the phone, even with dh. Sounds like you had a really nice time, though I’d hate to see your phone bill this month!

  4. OOOOOOOH! I am so proud of you. :great:
    That’s great! He sounds like a nice guy – I hope you go out with him. The expectation is there that you don’t need to have sex to have another date, ya know? That’s exactly how things started with my DH – God, we talked on the phone for hours and hours.
    Good luck sweetie! :jump:

  5. Hehe. Sasha I definitely won’t forget to drop by to say hi! I actually made a list of authors I wanted to visit because I have a tendency to get to the signing and get a severe case of book lust and forget everything else, including my name! :attack: But this time I am on a mission! See ya there! πŸ˜€

  6. Will I give him another chance??? Yup, cuz he’s a nice guy. It’s not his fault the Aussie socceroos are doing so well πŸ˜› but just not tonight, we play Italy in the elimination round, which goes to air at 1am Tuesday my time.

    Good luck Sasha.

  7. Oh gooooood πŸ™‚ That sounds really postiive! Mark and I did that long phone thing too. I’d never talked to anyone else for so long on the phone but that’s the way it has been ever since. All fingers crossed for you, Sasha!! And congrats on these terrifiic reviews you’re getting for Bound!
