Bachelorette #4: For clarity’s sake I’ll call her Jayden. We had our second date on Saturday. We went to an upscale restaurant – upscale, but casual – and had a very adequate time.
It was nice, friendly, uncontroversial and I think we both had a good time. That’s about the best I can say about the evening.
The whole thing started about 5:00pm when we went to see “Iron Man” (good movie, by the way). It was a full two hour movie but it didn’t seem like it. I don’t want to spoil anything but stay for the scene after the credits roll. It’s worth it.
And before you jump to any conclusions: I gave her a list of about 10 movies that were playing at the theater and that’s the one SHE chose. I didn’t disagree. ‘Nuff said.
So we left the theater and I told her where we were eating. I gave her directions and she knew generally where the place was located.
By this time it’s about 7:45pm but I’m not starving on the vine – not sure why not. We get seated immediately and the waiter seems rather jovial, which is good. She looked really good and I made a point of telling her so.
We order our food and drinks and move easily into small talk. It’s very easy to talk to Jayden and there are only a few lulls in the conversation. When that happens, we tend to take a sip of our respective drinks and just make it look like that’s why the conversation stopped.
I think I did pretty well at covering the ‘dead spots’ even though I’m not really known for my conversational skills.
The two tables closest to us consisted of 6 or more people each. Within a couple minutes of each other, both parties finished dining and left. It then became apparent to us that the place had emptied out. The wait staff didn’t help by giving us the “bum’s rush” (clearing plates, glasses, etc. from our table) and re-setting the two large tables.
I made an offhand statement “you wanna go?” and she jumped at the chance (at least, I felt like she did). It was maybe 10:30pm by this time. We stood outside the front of the place and made potential plans in the future.
After analyzing the whole evening in my head, I just felt like it was just ‘there’. No major sparks. No minor sparks.
I don’t want you to think I dislike her, I just ended up having no feelings either way. It was nice to get out and have a conversation with another person – who was female – but there was nothing that drove me away from her or drew me closer to her.
This is sorta what she looks like:
(Yes, I know this is Sigourney Weaver. Jayden looks very similar – with longer hair). To be crystal clear, I have no problem whatsoever with the way she looks.
What's a boy to do except wait for Bachelorette #5.
