re: Third date

Dinner was great and everything was going well, until... All of a sudden, half way through dinner Sara gets quiet and seems to be very annoyed by something.   I didn't really get what her problem was, because the service was just great.   The new waitress was quite attentive and friendly.

After a while of distracted conversation and amazing service, I noticed what was going on.   I actually laughed a bit when I made the connection.   The waitress was overtly flirting with me. I didn't even notice, my attention was completely on Sara.   It was very flattering to be given special treatment, and well look at me... can you blame them?

I tried to make Sara feel better by taking her out for some ice cream.   Apparently, the waitress had just gotten off her shift and needed some ice cream too.   At that point I could tell Sara was frustrated, so we left.   But hey, I had no control over that situation, and Yeah I could've gotten her number, had I wanted it.

...Second date

The rest of the night did go very well, she was well behaved and respectful in the restaurant.   Sara wore this lipstick that was to-die-for!   The best part about the night was her reaction to my response to the strip club; where she totally played it as if it were nothing, then proceeded to change the subject.   

She must have seen my side of things.

The Second Date: impressions

Even though she acts irrationally, I decided to take her on another date...

I reserved a table for two at the prestigious Le Colonial, 7:30 this Friday.  When we spoke, she was delighted to hear from me and even more ecstatic after I asked her to join me.

Friday comes, I'm in the middle of a shower and I get a call.  Guess who, Sara and she's calling to confirm the time, amazing!  When I get to Market street, our designated rendezvous, Sara is nowhere to be found.  Come to find out she is heading up the street and should be there in about 10 minutes.  “No worries” I thought to myself, we should still make the reservation.  Knowing which direction she is headed from, I decide to meet her halfway.

To my surprise, I find her taking a jovial stroll down the street.  Stopping to fix her hair in a window, and what appears to be window shopping.

I tighten my fists and growl through my clenched teeth: “Ugh, ...Tandy!” Walking up to her, she barley even flinches and says “Hey, what are you stalking me?”

re: First dates...

  “Is it just me or is this just completely ridiculous? Meeting at a strip club is not my idea of an ideal first date.”      Read the rest of Sara's blog

I wouldn't normally feel the need to respond to such outrageous accusations, except Sara has brought this to a public arena.  Yes, I did plan to meet for our date at the “Market Street Cinemas” I was attempting to bring a smile to her face.
You see Sara is a connoisseur of film and is also studying acting.  My plan was to find a way to include her favorite activities and add a little humor in the process.

What Sara fails to mention about the night is how we laughed about the strip club and then headed straight for the Castro Theater, which mind you, is a historical theater and part of San Francisco's underground culture.  We watched a noir film and then enjoyed a pleasant meal.  Later we shared a drink over some personal stories and then I walked her home, where she made the move to kiss me good night.

I am very sorry that she lacks a sense of humor.  But as I recall, Sara enjoyed everything else we did that night.  Hopefully the next date will go more smoothly and perhaps Sara will lighten up a bit.  I'll keep you posted.
