My first date was with a boy I not so lovingly refer to as Foot Boy. He contacted me via Instant Message one night. We had a few exchanges back and forth and he seemed nice enough. I called him on my way to NY one night and we chatted for about 30 min. The conversation went well. He seemed nice enough, but he did mention that he liked the fact that I wore red nailpolish (he noticed this is one of my pictures).
We made plans to go to dinner the following Tuesday in a place that is sort of in the middle of where we each live (he's in the 'burbs).
He met me outside. I was unsure how to great him. In NY everyone kisses on the cheek. Here people hug which I think is awkward. Well, we hugegd, and it was fine. We went in. Place was nice, not too crowded, great waiter. Ordered drinks (wine for me, beer for him) and an appitizer. Conversation went well. He talked with his hand covering his mouth so it was hard at times to hear what he was saying. We laughed a lot. I asked myself if I wanted to kiss him, and the answer was no. He asked if I wanted to go to the movies after dinner and I said no. He walked me to my car. Hug. Left.
I thought I would go out with him again because we had fun. Maybe I need more time to feel a spark.
The day after he texted me something about my nail polish (he had previously commented that he liked the fact I wore red nail polish from seeing my hands in one of my pictures) and seeing my feet. And I ignored it.
The day after that he texted me again last night saying hi and I was all "hey whats going on." He said that he thought I was ignoring him before. I said well I don't like feet. Then he asked if his foot fetish would be a problem for me becuase even though I dont like feet I'd get lots of foot rubs. Then I said that I actually hate feet (true) and don't even like when people touch mine (also true, except for my pedicurist).
He said (and I'm going directly to my text messages for direct quotes) "So u are saying I'd be the exception? ;-) honestly my 3 biggest turn ons in a girl are a girl with cute feet, pretty smile and I have to admit I'm a boobs guy... You seem to have the other 2 covered!" Then I didn't say anything because honestly who says that?!?
Ten minutes later I get "I'm sorry am I being too honest?" And I wrote that honesty is good but it was just a lot of information. Then 2 hours later he wrote oh ok. At 2:30 that morning he writes "I was just telling you what I liked physically because after hanging out with u I already know that you are my type mentally. I think you are a total sweetheart... Believe it or not that meant alot to me that u offered to pay your half for dinner. Not many girls do that." The best thing he said to me was that I looked exactly like I do in pictures which was nice because I always think I look so much better in pictures than in person.
I debated it and decided I wasn't going to go for round two. I listened to the advice that guys sometimes say inappropriate things, but it just put me off. And the boob thing. Wasn't into it. So I emailed him and said that I had a great time, it was very nice & generous of him to pay for my share of dinner, but that I didn't think it would go past the friends feeling.
He wrote back that he felt the same way. Shrug.
