Weekly Dating Rundown

Here's the rundown from this week's experiment:

Sunday Funday...or not. 

• The contender:  met online, 30, lives in BK (good); has a dog (another plus - he's responsible); has a Ph.D. and a solid job (yes and yes).  
• The location: Wine bar, outdoor table, Ft. Greene - his suggestion. (nice; it was a beautiful day)
• The rundown:  Nice, but no spark.  We kept a decent conversation going for about 2 hours, at which point he did the universal sign for "this date is over" - not ordering another glass of wine when he finished his before mine was halfway done.  I took the hint.
• The sendoff:  "I'll catch you later" after walking me in the direction of the subway.
• The conclusion:  He's just not that into me, and I'm just not that into him.  
• Rank:+ +

Monday = Fail

• The contender: met online, 29, lives in BK (a plus); lawyer (+/-; plus for good job, minus for the fact that the job is being a lawyer); don't know much else
• The failure: After exchanging emails saying "how about drinks Monday?" (his suggestion); he failed to call or email....ever.
• The conclusion:  He's just not that into me from the brief amount he learned online.  This is just silly.  Who really cares?
• Rank: + (although honestly, he may not even have a pulse)

Tuesday shows some promise....

• The contender:  met online, 29, lives in NYC; has his own business; active & athletic (both pluses, or else they think I'm insane)
• The location: Awesome local bar, DUMBO - his suggestion. (props for both the choice and the location)
• The rundown:  Nice, and interesting.  I was exhausted though, and definitely did not keep up my end of the conversation, which is exceedingly rare for me to be in any situation where I actually allow someone else to out-talk me.  Oh, and out-talk me he did.  It was kind of like being on a date with myself in the male form.  He's cute enough (although somehow was slightly cuter in pics).  I think we hit it off (at least, he was able to entertain me for over 2 hours).
• The sendoff:  I may have done the involuntary head turn when he went to kiss me goodnight, or he was aiming for the cheek.  I really, really hope it was the latter, I was TIRED, dammit!  The convo: "Will I see you again?" "Yes." "I'll give you a call." 
• The conclusion:  He's potentially into me, and I'm potentially into him.  We'll see if he calls.
• Rank:+ + +
