Preliminary #Date

Ahhhh, oh my goodness. I just got back home from my preliminary OkCupid date. What's a preliminary date? Why, let me explain.

First of all, let me just say that I messaged this chicka on a whim. I don't log onto my OkCupid account much these days. I happened to log on the other day and browse some profiles. I can't even remember where I saw her profile, but I do believe it was in the "You might like..." column. I saw that she was online and we ended up talking for a few hours via OKC messenger and ended with exchanging phone numbers.

After some text messaging, we decided to meet up for a short "preliminary" date to see if we even liked each other. We sat and talked outside of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for a little under an hour. It felt really good! It's very rare for me to find a girl who I can just sit down and talk to. I have a very cluttered brain which goes a mile a minute, but I'm also a smart dude. A girl has to have brains and beauty. We talked about some really deep things including the story surrounding me finding out I was adopted (which I will post on in the near future). She is definitely a smart cookie (and has the looks to boot) and we are totally going out later tonight! So stoked!

Moral of the story, is if you are going to do online dating, a "preliminary" date is a must! Meet up for a coffee or something that doesn't take a lot of time. If you don't connect, then there is no pressure to spend a lot of time with the person seeing as it was already clear that this was just a short meeting. If you two have a great connection, then you will see each other again! Truuuuust me, you rather leave a first date wanting more than having had too much.
