drinks

Last Sunday I went on my surprise date with Crystal. She actually sent me a message on Sunday morning to bring some workout type of clothes and a change of clothes. I was like wtf ok. So I drove to her place and met her. I left my car at her apartment and then we left in her car for our unknown destination. I have to say I was very excited and happy to be with a girl who was prepared to take initiative like this in terms of planning a date and thinking ahead etc vs most girls who usually sit back and let the man do all the planning and work when it comes to going on dates.

So we arrive at this indoor rock climbing place and I was damn so this is how she stays so fit and fine cuz I have seen people on tv do rock climbing inside and it looks hard as hell. I was very nervous and I was thinking I better do well at this or she is going to think I am a loser. I felt like it was a test that she was putting me through and I wanted to ace the test and reap the rewards later. So we go in there and she walks up to the counter and this guy Chad who works there is like "hey crystal what's up girl?" and I was like ahh she knows everyone. So she introduces me to him and then he gives me a crash course in climbing and was like don't worry if you have any problems just ask Crystal cuz she is an expert climber and I was like damn really sweet. She told me as we were getting prepared about all the different countries she has traveled to for climbing outdoor massive mountains. I was very impressed and I have never met such a smoking hot chick that is also this fierce. She suggested I start out on the noobie wall but being the kind of competitive guy that I am I was like no way let me try the wall that you do. I asked her to go first and show me how it's done and show me the line she was going to use to climb the wall. So I just stood there and watched her scale up this wall in like 2 minutes like freakin Spiderwoman or something. By the way her ass looked great in that harness.

So now it was my turn and I have to say that things started out ok, but once I got like half way up I was having a hard time with one transition and she was like telling me what to do and it wasn't working so I just came back down and then she went back up and showed me that one particular part and how you have to swing your foot up to get the next footing or whatever you call it. Then she came back down and I tried it again. That same spot I got stuck on, I got stuck on again but after a few attempts I was able to successfully swing my foot up and get to the next footing and eventually I found my way all the way to the top and I was quite proud of me and so was Crystal and I definitely felt like I earned a bunch of brownie points with her.

After that we drove back to her place and we both took a shower and got cleaned up and changed into our other clothes. She has two bathrooms so I used one and she used the other. It was kind of weird and I was thinking about her the whole time I was in the shower and I was wondering if she was thinking the same thing. How close we are to being naked beside each other and yet how far apart. We had a drink at her place and then she called a taxi and we left for the restaurant.

We arrived at a place called Artista Restaurant and we just sat down and we both couldn't help smiling at each other. She has like perfect white teeth and might just be the hottest girl I have ever spent time with. I was anxious to get into bed with her and I was kind of hoping that after the club I would end up spending the night at her place because the plan was to go to a club after dinner. We ordered dinner, had a few more drinks and were just talking about various things that people talk about when they are first getting to know each other. Somehow the conversation switched to sex and we started asking each other what we liked and don't like in bed. She said she really loves to get oral sex and I nearly jizzed in my pants. I said well, I really like to give oral sex, then there was a huge pause then I turned and sid "check please" and she bursted out laughing. Thing is, I wasn't joking, we grabbed the bill and as the waiter was running my credit card, I said to her "do you really want to go to a club, or would you prefer to just go back to your place?" She said, no I don't want to go to a club, let's go to my place".

I kissed her for the entire 10 minute car ride to her place. We went into her place and she poured me a drink and we sat on the couch sipping our drinks, kissing etc. Eventually I just stood up and reached my hand out and she grabbed my hand and I said "show me your bedroom" and she lead me by the hand to her bedroom. I started kissing her again, then flung her on the bed. Let me tell you this much, she LOVES to get oral sex, and I had an amazing time giving it to her. She tastes like peaches.

Well it has been a while since my last entry and there has definitely been some cool interesting developments to share with you guys and gals. I got an offer to manage a more upscale restaurant which would mean more money but also more responsibility. I am not sure if it is worth it to switch jobs because what happens if this new upscale restaurant doesn't stay in business very long? Then I will be screwed and out looking for another job. The other thing is that where I work now is very very chilled and relaxed and we don't take things too seriously. If I manage this upscale place then everything is going to be serious because we are going to have wealthy clientele and the atmosphere is going to be much more professional and anal and way less laid back. I am still deciding on what to do, this new place doesn't open for another 60 days so I still have like a week to make my decision.

Out of the 5 super hot model looking girls that I had messaged, I heard back from 3 of them which I was kind of surprised by but I am happy. This morning I went through the online dating site and I managed to find 2 more girls that fit the type of girl I want physically and I sent them messages so we will have to wait and see if either of them reply to me.

So these 3 girls that messaged me back are all really cool and I can see myself being happy with any 3 of them. I know I don't really know each of them very well yet but that doesn't matter to me because physical appearance is very important to me. Call me shallow, call me whatever but that is just the way I am.

I have been on date with one of the girls. Her name is Crystal and I took her to a restaurant here in Houston called Zulu Restaurant. It is one of the best restaurants in the USA I think. I couldn't decide between the veal chop and the rib eye but I decided to go with the veal chop, she got the pan seared salmon. The food and the service was excellent and Crystal looked so damn hot sitting across from me that I felt like a rockstar. We talked about past relationships, our likes and dislikes and it turns out we like the same kind of music and we are both really big into movies which I thought was really cool because my last girlfriend didn't give a shit about music or movies and would always complain when I played my music loud because she didn't like the kind of music I liked which sucked big time as you can probably imagine. After dinner I drove her home and she invited me up. Her condo was really nice and she clearly makes some decent money or got money somehow because her place was really nice - way better than my place. We had a drink and sat and talked on her couch for about 2 hours before I made my move and kissed her. We fooled around for a couple of hours, nothing serious, she was really hot and I was really trying to hold myself back from tearing off her clothes but I wanted to take it slow and not have sex on the first date. It is a rule that I try and stick to, especially if I think I really like the girl and there is the potential there for a relationship. I am going to be seeing her again tomorrow, she wants to take me somewhere and she said it was a surprise, to just come over to her place at 4pm and we will go from there so I will let you all know how that goes

First of all, NO I have not spoken to Alina since we last went out. I am waiting for her to pursue me. I want to give her space and she what she will do. I certainly am not in a rush so I am going to just wait and see and see what she does. If she chooses never to talk to me again then so be it. It is what it is I like to say. If she does reach out and want to talk to me in any fashion then I know I am golden. My friend hates it when I use the expression 'I am golden' but he really hates it when I say 'it is what it is'. I am not sure why I brought that up but oh well it seemed relevant at the time lol. Enough about this stuff. Let me tell you about the new girl I met and the date we went on last night.

I actually met her on Friday morning online. First she sent me a message saying she thought I was cute and to drop her a line sometime. I am happy because I just recently changed my online profile pics on the dating site that I use and I guess this means that these pics are much better. It is interesting to see what kinds of girls are looking at my profile. It shows you exactly who has been looking at your profile etc so you can check them out as well. Most of the girls look nice but some of them are old and lolish and some even have kids in their profile pictures. I guess they want to be clear from the start that they are only interested in a man that can tolerate their children they already have. Personally I would never hook up with a woman who has kids already no matter how hot she is. I say this because I had a friend once that only tolerated his girlfriend's kid because he was with her full time. He told me how they used to hang out together all the time just the two of them and everything was blissful. Then once the kid started coming over, when she would stay the weekend at his place, her parents stopped looking after the kid and the kid would come too. He was like 10 years old and he was horrible. He told me they rarely had a chance to be intimate and that he would catch the kid eating ice cream out of the tub at 3am when he wasn't allowed to have ice cream in the first place. It is stories like this that makes me avoid women who already have kids.

Ok so back to the story about the girl I met on Friday morning. We sent a few messages back an forth internally in the dating site and then I asked her if she had msn and if she wanted to chat on msn instead of bouncing emails back and forth. So we fired up msn and started chatting on there. Once she was comfortable that I wasn't a psycho she turned on her webcam. She is 27 years old and she is works in an Animal Hospital as an assistant. I really liked that fact because I am a huge animal lover. So after chatting with her on msn for about an hour I told her I would really like to talk to her on the phone and she was like ok and gave me her number. I called her up and we chatted on the phone for like 2 and a half hours. Luckily I have a cordless phone in my house so I was able to walk around the house and go sit on the patio etc while we chatted. We found that we really had a lot in common and I was like well we should get together then and she should let me take her out for dinner sometime and she was like ok how about tomorrow and I was like w00t.

Saturday came around and I had to figure out where I was going to take her. I decided I would take her to this little place called Baba Yega Restaurant which is in the heart of Montrose. It is this little house on it's own and it is a cool cafe type of place with good food and chilled environment. I took a taxi there to meet her and when the taxi pulled up I could see this girl standing there looking around, long brown hair blowing in the wind. She looked a lot hotter in real life than she did in her pictures and on webcam. When I got out of the cab she noticed me and gave me a big smile and I was like wow this is too good to be true. I walked up to her and we shook hands and introduced ourselves to one another which was a bit of a joke since we felt like we already knew each other. We went in and sat down and ordered food and for some reason I started thinking about the song "Hunger Strike" by Temple of the Dog. Who the hell is Temple of the Dog you ask? Well, they are group that was formed back in the 90's when alternative music was very popular. It was two girls from Pearl Jam and two guys from Soundgarden. They got together and made one album but the only noteworthy song was Hunger Strike. I am not really sure what the song is about but I believe it is a political song very similar to Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2. You know I saw U2 many many many years ago when they were on their ZooTV Tour and it was awesome. Bono called the White House in the middle of the show and asked to speak to the President and the receptionist was like WTF. Needless to say, he was not successful in connecting with the old Commander in Chief. They had huge tv screens with weird bulls and shit running and doing stuff. I was on LSD at the time and even though I had a horrible trip and felt like my chest was going to explode, I can still say to this day that that was the most enjoyable concert I have been to. So yeah we are sitting there eating our dinner and I am thinking about Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell. I know it's random but hey that is what I was thinking. So we chatted while we ate and she told me some stories about saving dogs and stuff. There is no way I could ever handle working in a place like that and witnessing animals in pain. I know that it is their job to help these animals but I simply couldn't do it.

After dinner we took a taxi to a place called Scott Gertner's Skybar for some drinks. They had live music playing so it was really hard to hear each other talk and we ended up leaving after an hour or so and I told her we could head back to my place that I had a full bar and I could make her a fancy fruity drink. So we took a taxi and stopped at a corner store to buy some orange juice. I gave her the tour of my place and she seemed quite impressed. Then I put on some music and mixed her a screwdriver. I know it's not a fancy drink but that is what she asked for. Personally I like to drink single malt whiskeys, premium vodka like Grey Goose, and Cognac. I prefer XO stuff like Hennessey but hey the stuff is really expensive. I usually just end up drinking regular vodka like Smirnoff. We sat on the balcony I have on the 2nd floor of my place and sipped our drinks. It was kind of chilly out, the sun had gone down and we are in the winter season but it really doesn't get that cold in Texas even during the winter. She told me that she had only joined the online dating site for about 4 to 5 days before she messaged me. She said the other guys she had met seemed like dicks and only interested in one thing. She said I seemed different and she said she was really happy and that it must have been fate or destiny that we connected at the right time. I always get very wary of girls who use the words fate and destiny. I do not believe in fate, destiny, God, astrology, and psychics. I have a hard time hanging around people who believe in these kinds of things and I will often try and dissuade them of this belief. It is never successful and I usually just get really frustrated. My parents brought me up to believe in things that are tangible. Anyways I am off on a tangent now just like MC Sidetracked. At some point during sitting there I realized that she was touching my hand so I grabbed her hand and held onto it. We continued to talk about bullshit for at least another 30 minutes without either of us acknowledging that we were holding hands. Finally she said "you have very soft hands" and I replied that her hands were soft as well... then there was a pause and we both broke out into laughter. I grabbed her empty glass and walked back into the house to pour her another drink. When I went back out with both drinks in hand she was standing up and leaning against the railing looking outwards. I walked up behind her and in a bold move I put my arms around her and kind of hugged/held her from behind. She reached up and put her hand on my arm and held it gently. We talked about the view or something superficial for a minute or two, then she rotated in my arms so that she was now facing me. We kissed under the moonlight while music played in the background and I felt like the luckiest guy in the world. I had no idea I was going to have such good fortune meeting girls online.
