Date Two: Buddha

I was contacted by a very attractive guy. When I checked his profile I saw two things that were a previous automatic deal breaker) Doesn't drink and C) has a child. He was also a Buddhist which I thought was interesting.



I thought about the kid thing. You can have a kid and really let it mess you up or you can rise above that and become a really great person. I look at my uncle who was a single father studying for his CPA with a 2 year old. And I think he's wonderful.


Plus this guy was cute which is the real reason. And I thought that because he was Buddhist that didn't drink it was totally outside my element. Part of this escapade is to meet new people and see new things.



Imagine my surprise when he emailed me asking to go for a drink at a local Brewery. I asked him about it and he said he very rarely drinks and says no to ward off the party girls. Uh oh. I'm not a party girl but I do love me a good time.

So we meet. He's there first by minutes. He's pretty cute. Not as cute as I anticipated, and certainly not as tall as he stated. He said 5'9" which is my absolute minimum (thats the only thing I will not let go of). I seemed a smidge taller than him with smallish (for my standards) heels. Which means he was probably a smidge taller than me, but I don't think so.

We had a lot of laughs and a lot of fun over a few beers. I think I really wanted to like him because he was so different: the kid, Buddhism, not drinking, yogi, no tv, things like that. We were there for a few hours and I think he even got tipsy. He had a bunch of tattoos (covered) and two nose rings (ones hidden).

He paid and walked me to my car (what a gentleman!). Hug. Go home. Debated whether or not I wanted to see him again. No spark. But interesting. I thought about emailing him just to say thanks again. But he beat me to the punch.

He wrote me a really sweet email. He had a great time and was surprised at how well we got a long. He said he made a "love connection" with someone else that weekend. He said he was pretty confident I wouldn't be on the site much longer because I'm so wonderful. So 0 for 2. I'm okay with it.

My third date is tomorrow with the Greek. Stay tuned!
