I had a lunch date for this past Friday afternoon. The plan.... I was being picked up at 2:30 then we'd grab lunch. We stuck to the plan. I laughed when he asked me for lunch. (previous posts state how I feel about lunch dates.) Well, got in the car and debated for a moment where lunch should be had. I'm not usually a fan of no plans previously made. Like, if you're gonna take the initiative to ask me out have a plan, please. But, he did have ideas and all I had to do was make the final decision. We ended up in this whole in the wall Chinese joint. I was scared. We pulled up and I noticed that there was a drive thru. Only one thing scares me more than Chinese drive-thru joints and that's drive-thru sushi joints. Anyway, back on track. We get inside and get seated. It's grimy. Really grimy. But, he tells me that this is his favorite Chinese place so I put my full trust in him and decide to let him order for us. Salt. Baked. Shrimp. Deliciousness. (They came out served with jalepenos and with their heads still on and deep fried. So, you just have to go for it and eat the whole thing. I have never tasted something quite as delightful.) We sit and talk for a couple hours, conversation flows so nicely. We don't have much in common except for an adventurous spirit in both of us and a love to laugh...oh, and great teeth. He has a great smile. We decided we'd occupied the booth long enough and decided a pastry was in order. As we nestled down with our pastries in one of the coffee shops near by we talked and discussed and played celebrity look alike. I found Jacob and Edward (the parody) walking in together, and a horrid Christopher Reeves not look alike that I'll never live down. Well, we realized it was now almost 8 o'clock and it still felt early. There wasn't a dull moment at all. We then decided to ditch the coffee house scene and make our way to the other side of town so we could sit and talk more. A few more celeb look alikes (or flops, on both parts) and we realized that we were the last two in the place. It was past midnight and we had closed down the place. At that time we headed back to my neighborhood and talked for a bit before the night ended....at 1:10am. Lunch ended at 1:10am. Our lunch date that was supposed to be taken right into the friend zone had turned into a legit date. He was funny, smart, charismatic, smart, good looking, smart, interesting, and smart. Now, I purposely used the same adjective four times because being around him made me feel oh so dumb. He used words that I haven't heard in years. Words that I couldn't spell unless I had some major help. He knew so much about everything, but not in the annoying way. For our next date I will make sure I have my thesaurus with me so I can step up my intelligence instead of dumbing it down like I'm used to. Well, you're probably wondering why I have decided to name this one 'Love Child' It has nothing to do with anything other than our celeb look alike game. All night I just wanted to tell him the best celeb look alike was him. He looked like a younger Hugh Laurie, and also a John Krasinski. So, if the two of them had a love child it would look just like my date. I rate this date an 11 out of 10. There really was no room for improvement. Everything was great. I will be going out with this Love Child again.
