On Friday, I followed Papa Churn’s orders and had date #3 with the guy that took me to the German Ambassador’s residence. I liked that he asked me out and then made all the plans and I just had to show up. We went to Ceiba for dinner, which I have wanted to try and it was excellent. Then we went to see The Capitols Steps, a DC political satire troupe. It was another great DC date night, and yet again I was struck with the feeling that I would love to have this exact date, just with someone else. I noticed during the show that I was actually leaning away from him as far as I could. When I went to the bathroom before the show I saw I had a text from another guy about meeting up later that night. Not a great sign when I am hiding in the bathroom to text another boy.
Ambassador guy and I grabbed another drink after the show and then I really had to leave because I had a 6am flight the next morning for work. We were both metroing, but in opposite directions so he waited on my platform nine minutes with me. I really just wanted him to go away. Then he tried to kiss me, which was completely awkward. I’m pretty sure that is the end of the story for this guy. It’s starting to be painful to be around him and I feel bad that he planned and paid for such a nice date. I don’t want to lead him on so I’ll have to gracefully decline if he asks me out again.
I spent the last four days out of town for work and have an email from Bachelor #136 asking me out sometime this week. This weekend is pretty full with the black tie affair and some other parties so I’ll have to figure out when I can fit in a date this week.
For the record: He paid. I would have offered to get our post-show drinks, but he settled the bill when I was in the bathroom (using the facilities, not texting another dude).
