 Due
to popular demand, here's a short recap on what happened
on my date with Ariel.
Most of the girls I date or my girlfriends somehow
usually turn out to become good friends with me regardless
of the outcome. I'd rather not think of any date as
a bad experience but a learning experience for future
prospects. But most importantly, I love meeting new
people. I haven't been on a date for nearly two months
so I was a little bit rusty about getting back into
the game. I couldn't stop thinking whether my style
was still suitable for today's standards.
She actually responded to one of the personal ads
I had up posted up on LoveAOL. Said she had a thing
for Asians... So go figure why she chose me. First night
I started talking to her I just decided to ask her out.
So basically this was going to be a blind date. I've
been on a ton of blind dates before so this wasn't new
to me.
My first impression is that she was absolutely beautiful,
but that didn't really impress me. When I think about
it, a lot of the girls I've dated are physically pretty
in their own little ways. I've dated models to singers
to self-proclaimed divas. Lately I've been looking for
something deeper. And when I really think about it most
of the girls I really liked or loved was because of
their personality and not their looks.
We started the day by me picking her up at her house
at around 12:00 noon. Of course it took me forever to
get there because I got lost and I'd never been to that
part of Los Angeles. I got there about 20 minutes early
and had brought with me a single rose. I gave her a
big ol hug because that's what I do when I first meet
someone. Hugs are the best. I met her mom briefly and
then we were on our way. But of course anyone who knows
me knows that I always take pictures wherever I go.
So we took a couple of pictures outside her house and
for a model, she was really camera shy.
We first stopped by Starbucks because she had told
me before on the phone that that was her favorite hang-out
place. We order some frappaccino and chatted for a while.
Then we went to Fridays for lunch and chatted some more.
One noticeable thing was this girl can eat and burp!
Man I felt so embarrassed not so much that she did it
but because I couldn't match her skills. What we had
planned next was to go to the Santa Monica beach. I've
never been there so I thought it'd be a good experience.
Of course if I had my choice of beaches I'd have to
say that my fave would be Oceanside but that was like
two and a half hours away from her house... not including
traffic.
So we walk around the Promenade at Santa Monica for
a couple of hours. Now I'm thinking to myself if I should
try to hold her hand because I never do that on a first
date. It's just not my style. So I decide to hold back
on it. We visit a lot of the stores and just goof around.
See some of the street performers on the streets do
their thang. I tried to lag behind a couple of times
so I could check out her booty because she had worn
her special tan pants just for me. The funny thing was
that she let me do it.
We then went to the nearby mall and hung out in there
for a while. Went to a couple of stores and goofed around
a little bit more. She tried our some clothes and I
couldn't help but let out a conspicuously obvious "DAMN!"
every now and then. It was getting to be pretty cold
and cloudy that we decided not to go to the actual beach.
So we went to dinner. Of course I had to take her out
to one of my favorite restaurants... Claim Jumpers.
Things got funny at dinner cuz she thought everything
was expensive. She was gonna go for just the Soft Pretzel
which cost like $2.60 and I wasn't about to let that
happen. She was somewhat hinting at the Ribs but couldn't
tell me straight up that she wanted them. So then she
gave me the option to order dinner for her and whatever
my judgment was gonna be fine with her and that she
trusted me. That actually felt good that she had said
that. So I order her the ribs and then I ordered a soft
pretzel and she thought that was my order, but really
it was for her to take home because she was so intent
on getting that. And I ordered some noodle meal that
I've never had before which totally sucked. Basically
we just talked and ate.
 Afterwards
we were supposed to go watch a movie but it was already
too late so I took her home to go change and drop off
some stuff. I got to hang out with her parents for a
couple of minutes. When she came back out she totally
looked like a European model with a white skirt and
black shirt and black boots that like went up to her
knee. We actually matched for some reason because I
was wearing white pants and a black shirt. She gave
me her model calling card and was kind enough to sign
it. So it was around 10:30 PM so we decided to go hang
out and talk one last time at the place where we began...
Starbucks. But not just any Starbucks but the one she
hanged out at.
We drank and talked at Starbucks. Of course I had
to have my mocha frappaccino. And it was getting close
to her curfew so I took her home around 11:45. And this
is where it gets a little bit awkward. For as long as
I know I've never kissed on a first date. And I haven't
kissed a girl for like a couple of months and its not
like riding a bike... you forget how to do it and what
you're style is. And for some reason I always sell myself
short and I figured that I probably won't be going out
with this girl again because sparks didn't really fly.
So I went for it and kissed her... but those details
will be left private. I walked her to her door and gave
her a hug and a tiny good night kiss. And that's the
end...
I had a good time and it was so much fun to spend
a day with someone and get to know them better. Of course
Ariel remember that you promised me that you'd be there
for my CD release so I expect you to be there :-)
