He is a high school teacher, right up the street from where I live. I told him that there were never ever any teachers that looked like him when I was in high school! Trust me though, he is not a typical New Orleans guy..he asked me if he should wear a suit to go to the party. He likes to wear Armani suits, and flys to Los Angeles three times a year to go shopping. A suit? Wow. I said, oh something neutral, conservative is fine, it's not a big deal. I know, this whole thing is unbelievable, I am still shocked to meet a nice guy.
He is going to the party with me and taking me out to dinner on Friday,
so we shall see how that goes. He is so much like me in temperment..stubborn, likes to laugh and very silly, so this should be a very interesting time indeed. We were
playing mind games on the phone the other night, and he was getting a
real charge out of challenging me too. Anyway, let's see what comes of this
OK- so when he came to pick me up- the perfect picture kinda ended in a sputter.
Time of arrival: 30 mins late
Car: He said he had car trouble with his DATSUN.
Attire: A FIRE ENGINE RED SUIT HEAD TO TOE- Conservative? Neutral?
Dinner Plans Post Party: CHANGED- dude wanted to go to the movies in KENNER instead to meet up with his friend Tyrone (WRONG!)
Appearance: The picture added about 50 healthy pounds to him...in real time, he needed a biscuit.
Huge Plus: Good diction and no gold teeth (BING BING BING)
Overall: We went to the party, but he was a total non-talker in person. He asked me to call up a friend of mine so we could double-date with Tyrone. I told him to drop me off at my friend's house- she lived in a gated community- and said that we would "meet up later" with them at the movies.
Buh-bye.
We ordered a pizza and watched tv. Was it wrong? Yes, but so was his suit. :)
