So much has happened I’ve almost forgotten where I left off! Oh, that’s right! HANGRY, as noters have said. Yes, we were sitting on the rooftop, drinking the champagne I’d brought and having a talk. Definitely not eating, which was the plan in the first place.
So there we were, talking about all kinds of things and NOT EATING, when JKD starts talking about how he’s lost weight. So I asked him how he’d done it and he says, “from only eating one meal a day.”
And then he stops and looks at me and asks if I’m hungry! Why yes, JKD, I never thought you’d ask! :)
So we get up and go downstairs and across the street to a restaurant that has a patio and have some appetizers (flatbread and something else…I’ve forgotten already) and a couple more drinks and it’s pretty late by that time and really time to go home.
At some point during our conversation I’d mentioned that all of his hard-core come-on texting after date #1 was a little bit overwhelming, but I didn’t get the sense that he took offense to what I was saying. In fact, when we go back across the street to get his car keys so he could drive me home, he was all about making out with me in the elevator, so he didn’t seem all that…concerned (?). Not sure if that’s the right word, but regardless, things seemed okay. Just still kind of weird because the night didn’t go as planned.
Honestly, in the end it was all okay from the perspective of us having a decent time - it was just all the other things that didn’t add up to him being the guy he portrays himself to be. If he’s so fucking rich, he’s not doing it right! Why wouldn’t he hire someone to put his stuff in order? A decorator? An assistant who can take care of those things. Someone could even have shopped for food besides Cheez-its. Why wouldn’t all of that be done by the time he got back from his trip?
I just think it would have been much better for both of us if he’d postponed me coming over until he had his place together and he knew how to operate the electronic things that he wanted to show off to me. The bottom line appears to be, he needs to put his money where his mouth is.
We went to his car and he drove me (and the dog) home to my apartment. We smooched a little bit in the car and we left it pretty open, not confirming Friday and Saturday as he’d asked me before. Saturday, being the big company dinner he’d invited me to.
So it’s now Saturday afternoon, and as of this morning I hadn’t heard from him with regards to firming up plans for dinner. After my walk with [A], during which we’d discussed all of this (!), I sent JKD a text asking about firming up plans for tonight, if he still wanted me to go.
Lo and behold, I got a really WEIRD text back from him saying all of this stuff about how he’s going to be more aloof with me and how he’s changing the way he approaches me and that he’s going to let me decide IF I wanted to go to dinner or not.
WTF. I tried calling, but he wouldn’t answer.
So I texted him again telling him that yes, I’d agreed to go to dinner in the first place - just wanted to be able to plan my day and figure out the logistics of the evening. So he texted back this long text about how he couldn’t answer the phone because he’s with his daughters and gave me this long, detailed text about the events of the evening, which fine, good…those were the details I was looking for!
So now the vibe is all kinds of fucked up. I have no idea how tonight is gonna go. I’m bringing my phone so I can call an Uber or Lyft if I need to . I’m brining extra cash so I can take a cab home if I need to …I’m making all kinds of contingency plans in case it just goes to shit - which is a sucky way to plan for a date!
Still, fancy restaurant, nice dinner, good champagne. I’m certainly going to make the most of it if I can!
More to follow (including RAD: Bachelor Party Marty!).
