The Italian

So I joined Match.com in order to get out on the dating scene and meet more people (ok insert your jokes here). I get some messages from a fella moving down to the beach from Ohio, he worked on airplanes, liked the beach and seemed nice enough. Why not give him a chance?

We meet up after chatting back and forth for a week or so. We meet up at a bar close to my house where I feel comfortable and have a couple of drinks. I could tell that he was feeling a little nervous and he wanted to get out of the bar and do something interactive. So we decided to go and play putt-putt.
We go to a local beachy/pirate themed putt putt. We get our balls (and he lets me pick out my favorite color first), clubs and I grab a score card and pencils. We begin, to play and I start to win straight away. No more than three strokes for me, and he wasn’t doing too hot. Then he suggests that we don’t take score!!!!!! Ok, I am a competitive girl but trying to be nice I agree L . Then we keep playing (yes, I am still kicking his ass as I am taking a mental score!). Then he starts to hit my ball into the cup when it’s close! There is a reason they give each player a different color ball. It took everything I had to not hit him with my club!!!!

Why I didn’t go straight home after that I don’t know (okay okay I do, he might have been a really good kisser). Anyhow we get some drinks at a Mexican cantina and order some nachos. He picked at them because they had too many veggies on them (lettuce, tomato, jalapeños, and onion) but never told me to order without all that, then made a joke about me eating rabbit food (Hello, I am a vegetarian!) Then he starts to tell me a story and no kidding he used “bada bing” and was being totally serious. I had to do
everything I could do to keep a straight face. Then he asks me if I like to go dancing, and I proceed to tell him a few fun bars to catch a good band, a fun retro place, and the one big dance club in town. He asks where they play techno music. We have absolutely NOTHING in common! I hint at this as he tells me how he is ready to settle down and I would be the perfect girl to do this!

I think we might have been on different dates.
