The double date was fine...except that Betti and I hadn't talked much all week and were far more interested in ditching our beaus and dishing over cocktails alone. Still, we talked, we laughed, we realized we have no spark with these guys, but hey that's not the point.
German Ambassador guy is perfectly nice...he just tries too hard and is a little nerdy in the process. It's like he subscribes to a blog on dating along with the "Prince of Petworth." He asked me lots of odd, invasive questions about my friends and past relationships--even my ex-boyfriend's name. He said he wanted to know who my best friend is and who I tell my secrets to, and...excuse me while I vomit. His intentions may be good, but it was way too intense for a first date. Still the event was lovely, and a great excuse to buy a fabulous little black Calvin Klein dress.
Unfortunately for the first time in my churning I was standing there on a date, desperately wishing I was in that very same location just with someone else, and not just a theoretical someone...this time I knew just the guy. Part of the reason I decided to churn was to move on and stop obsessing about a guy that is geographically undesirable. I have been doing 93% better with this so I'm not mad at my one little slip. I wasn't thinking I would see Ambassador guy again, but if Papa Churn says three date minimum, maybe I should reconsider? He did call and I need to call him back.
Bachelor #136 asked me to brunch and a museum for Sun, but honestly I was just too tired so I suggested a rain check. I am turning down dates...I am pretty sure this hasn't ever happened in my life!
As I head into week three, I have a date scheduled with someone I met through a friend for next Thurs, but I don't have anything concrete lined up for this week. So I just messaged the reporter who has asked me out a couple of times over the last two weeks (always last minute to things he just got tickets to and I already had plans) to see if he wants to meet up this weekend. I would never have done that a few weeks ago!
