I took this great girl on a second date last weekend for some miniature golf, followed by a trendy Italian restaurant she mentioned she wanted to try out.  She is a CPA, which is good because she has her own source of income and hopefully won’t be asking for any thousand dollar Christian Dior bags anytime soon. I could see the accountant in her come out now and again because she was so precise and detailed when she talked.  I could picture her closet, color coded and her food labels facing due west.  We ate our dinner, which turned out to be great, but there just wasn’t enough of it.  I recommended we order some desert, and after some careful thought she agreed.  After the waiter took our order, the CPA asked me “where do you see yourself in ten years?”  An interesting question for our second date, but I obliged and proceeded to give her my guess on where I’d be ten years from now.  Seemingly satisfied with my answer, I thought it would only be polite to ask her the same.  The CPA took out a silver pen and started to graph on her napkin her ten-year plan.  The graph included footnotes on kids, trips, investments and on and on….Needless to say, this is a bit more planning than I can handle.  This was our second and last date.  Graphs belong at work, not near my chocolate lava cake.

When we spoke on the phone we had many things in common and had great phone chemistry. We made plans to meet at an auction on a Saturday afternoon.

When I arrived, he met me at the registration table where we exchanged awkward hellos. He seemed very nice. Once I was through the registration line, he put his arm around my shoulder guiding me and said, “We’re sitting over here.” He then casually added, “My mother is looking forward to meeting you, so you two should sit next to one another.” What?!

There was no mention of his mother attending the auction. In fact, mothers never even entered our one phone conversation. I have nothing against mothers (my mother happens to be my best friend) but they don’t belong on a blind/first date.

There I sat in between the both of them, fielding their questions from my right and from my left. Trapped! As the auction came to a close, he turned to his mother and me and said, “Why don’t I take my two favorite girls out for a bite?” What?! I made a very bad excuse about having a sick dog at home and didn’t look back as I ran for my car.

Last year my friends and I spent Memorial Day weekend in Las Vegas. One of the girls flew out from East coast to CA and I drove us.  The girl from East Coast met a guy; he was tall, good looking, fit, intelligent, nice but geographically undesirable and ended up spending the entire weekend with her.   Monday morning on D-day the girls and I had to leave in order for the East Coast friend to make the flight back.
