Date of the Month-December # 3 Friday night dinner

So December really was a busy month.  December # 3 and I met on OKCupid.  We have been emailing and then text for quite a while.  We had plans about a week earlier but I canceled.  He text me and asked about dinner on Friday.  So we made plans to get some sushi. 

Before the date I was talking to a friend on facebook.  I told her about my date later that night and our plans to go get sushi.  Her response made me laugh.  She said that Sushi was very sensuous for a first date.  She said it was because of the textures and how you eat.  I can see where she is coming from but I am not talented enough to eat with chopsticks so I use a fork.  Maybe sushi is not as sensuous when you use a fork.   We talked about other suggestive foods.  I said hot dogs and she added an ice cream cone.  Yeah, those are both very suggestive.  Can you think of any others?

So I arrived at the restaurant after December #3 did.  I quickly spotted him sitting at a table.  We quickly hugged.  He is an attractive black man with a very friendly smile and dimples.  He is well articulated and has a smooth voice that is nice to listen to.  The restaurant had some really interesting names for some of their rolls including Sexy Lady and IDid Your Sister.  There were other funny names but I can’t remember them now.  Well December #3 and I ended up ordering a few different rolls and sharing.  I have never shared on a first date but sushi is easy to share. 

December #3 and I talked about food likes and dislikes.  I admitted to not liking onions.  He put his hand up to give me a high 5.  I wasn’t sure what he was doing at first.  Apparently he agreed with me and does not like onions either.   We also talked about sports, work, family, and we had an interesting conversation about hording.  He complemented me on my storytelling.  I am a pretty animated speaker.  I try.  

December #3 is also 6 foot 4.   Yeah, he is over a foot taller than me.  He has broad shoulders and is athletic but more like a football blockers body type.  He also played football and basketball in school and even played against my high school.  So we know some of the same people. 

We sat inside the restaurant talking for a while after dinner.  The waitress put the check down right in front of me and he grabbed it.  He picked up the check and playfully called me a cheap date.  We talked about other things we could do next.  I thought about my earlier conversation with my friend and almost wanted to suggest going to get ice cream cones.  Except for the fact that it is winter and kind of cold outside. 

We left the restaurant.  He walked me to my car and we hugged goodbye.  He asked about going out again and I suggested next weekend.  He sent me a text later saying that he hoped I made it home safely and that he had a really good time tonight.  I guess the ability to text makes it easier to not wait to communicate.
