The other day was my coffee date with guy #2

[flex]

Ourtime.com coffee date.  Maybe there'll be a spark, but if there isn't, that's cool too.

My subscription is expiring at the end of this month.  I'm unimpressed with the choices on there.  

I had a real piece of work last night.  Supposedly the guy lives in Juneau and was totally in love with me JUST BASED ON MY PICTURE without even having any meaningful conversation.  He was begggggging me not to leave Alaska and to "give meeeeeeeee a chance, pleeeeeease!!"  Jeez.  Desperation much?  I think he was drunk, but I didn't want to ask.  lol

Yes, please report back. I've been sick with a miserable cold for a while now - close to a week - and haven't been on ourtime for days. I get on today and that screen where it says this one or that one, I picked one and then went and checked my messages (FOUR LOL) and it turns out he had messaged me that he thought we had a lot in common, blah blah blah. He's actually pretty good looking, and we do have a lot in common. So I messaged back and figured I'd keep an eye on it tonight to see if he tries to im or whatever. We'll see.

I really don't want creepers. Heck, this guy signed his message to me xoxo and I thought that was kind of borderline. A desperate cry not to leave the state would have me ... leaving the state!

I'm also the teeniest tiniest weeniest freaked out because his name is the same as my h's. But that name is closer to "Dave" than "Poindexter" so I should just get used to that.

So the coffee date went well. We met at the Chocolate Lounge (my suggestion) and he was tickled to death about all the truffles and hot chocolate and stuff. lol

He was very nice, affable, a nice smile. He works on the Slope so he has a 2 weeks on/2 week off work schedule. He doesn't live in Anchorage--he lives in Wassila, which is an hour's drive one way. And dig this...HE'S FROM MY HOMETOWN OF EUGENE OREGON!! Win, win. lol

Even though he didn't make my heart strings zing, I'd be willing to meet him for lunch or dinner.

Wow! Sounds like he was a good date. What is the slope? How cool that he is from Eugene! Did he seem to like you? I mean who wouldn't!!

[flex]

The North Slope is Prudhoe Bay mostly--where the oil rigs are. He works for BP. He also belongs to a union, even though he couldn't remember which one. lol

He seemed to like me, but you never know after the first meeting. I've had guys seem interested, then I never hear from them...even when I say "hi, what's up?" : )

[childofhiphop]

Sounds like a good first coffee! I hope there is another.

[kittycatlove]

Sounds like a positive first date.

[rosiebear]

Nice!

And good luck, MixedBerryJam! I have high hopes for you!

[jamich]

He sounds nice.
I'm glad it went well.

[mrsukyankee]

Glad you clicked in a nice way.

[seabitch]

Yay for good times! Glad it went well.

Sounds like there could be something to build on there.

It was so hard and kinda scary putting yourself out there on the dating sites. I am glad they have evolved some since I met H out there 7 years ago.

I'm laughing about juneau possibly being drunk. How did that date end? Like, do you have to actually say something to his face about never wanting to see him again? Text him?

Well it certainly wasn't a date...ever!   He was sending me messages through ourtime.com only.  He seemed to think that his declaring his love for me based on my picture and begging me to give him a chance without even having a conversation with me like: how are you, what do you like to do, what's your favorite color, etc.  Desperation is not a turn on.  lol

He wanted my phone number.  Duuude, HELL TO THE NAW am I going to give you my phone number.  Srsly?  

[mags]

Yay for you@ Sounds like it went well, and the dinner will be a true test.

[flex]

I gave him my e-mail address so it remains to be seen if he'll reach out. Either way I'm good with it.

[10nille]

A guy who likes chocolate sounds promising, lol.
