Wow two first dates in one month. That should up my odds of actually finding a lasting relationship.
It should....but didn't.
So I met September # 2 on OKCupid. Yeah, I know what your thinking. Your thinking that I should be meeting guys in other ways Your right! I totally agree with you.
September #2 and I had spend time emailing about improv and he asked if I wanted to go see a show. We decided on an improv musical show and met at IO in Hollywood. IO is an improv school,
theater, and bar. It was recently redone and looks much more polished
and put together.
I arrived before he did and ordered a drink at the bar. In retrospect, I so am glad I had a delicious beer in my hand for the nights events. He arrived and did look sort of as I had expected from the pictures on his profile... plus about 10 lbs and only 5'4. Just so there was no mistaking him I also think he was also wearing the same things as in the pictures. Very helpful of him to do that.
He is an IO alumni and gets into the shows free. I bought my ticket and we found a seat.
The show was awesome. The group is called Opening Night. Every week they get a suggestion from the audience to then create an original musical. They sing, dance, and use jazz hands. IT IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE.
IO does have pretty good acoustics, the performers know how to project their voice and the stage does have mics up over head. Please remember that improv is meant to be entertaining and it is often really funny too. That particular show had some really funny bits. This is about the point that I so glad to have a delicious beer. Because September #2 has a really loud boisterous laugh. The kinds of laugh that is so loud you can no longer hear what is going onstage to understand why he is laughing. The kind of laugh that makes the people in front of us turn around and look at him. He has the kind of laugh that includes hoots and hollers and other loud whistles and whatnot. Yep, there are a few parts of the show that i have no idea what was said. I know he thought it was funny.
Thank goodness for beer. So the show ends and September #2 suggests going to Kitchen 24. It's a 24 hr diner around the corner. We pretty much only talk about improv. I guess we dont have that much in common. We eat. The food is pretty good and he orders dessert.
The waitress brings the bill and I reach for my wallet. I am defiantly a believer that I should offer to pay. I am fiddling with my purse to get my wallet out and he doesn't say anything about offering to pay. huh. Now here is the moment that I contemplate just grabbing my lip gloss out. Pretending that I wasn't reaching for my wallet, just out of curiosity to see what he does. Would he reach for the bill and calculate my total? Oh I forgot to mention that he is an accountant. Would he pay it and think that I was like so many other women that just assume that the man should pay? huhh I wonder.
But I didn't find out. I put my credit card next to the bill and told the waitress what to charge on my card.
I am highly capable of buying my own dinner but do fall into the thinking that a man should pay. It's just one of those perks about having breasts.
But then again he did kinda have them too.
