New day, new date, better result.

Last night's experiences with JDate got even uglier, but that's another story.

Today, getting back on the horse that threw me, I again visited JDate to attempt to find a friend.

Read an interesting profile, and she happened to be online.  We chatted amicably, and even decided to meet, but she suddenly remembered she had a hair cut appointment at 4PM.

Not "brushed off" easily, I suddenly remembered I wanted to watch her get her hair cut.

She said (to my utter astonishment) "Sure!"

I mean, how many women will let you see their "Sunday Morning Face" BEFORE their "Saturday Night Face"?  Wow, what confidence eh?!

So we met at a Starbucks, went to her salon (her first time with this hair dresser, so she was on a double first date) then went out to dinner, picked up my dad at the nursing home, came back to our condo to meet mom, and then I drove her back to her car.

Even after all that, she wrote:

"Thank you again for dinner and an amazing first date. Loved every moment."

Phew, I haven't lost "the touch" after all!  And, she saw my living arrangements and is still talking to me.  That's definitely points ahead...

(P.S. She actually liked the duct tape wallet, now I'm getting nervous...)

Subject: What she said after our JDate...
To:

We had a nice breakfast together. 

She asked if I owned the print shop, or if I held any patents.  And, wanted to know if my father held any patents. 

Then she had to run to the gym (so to speak).  

I sent her a thank you note.

I received this response.

"I'm really too shallow and mean to date you. Even though you will probably think this is the kiss of death, I would want to be friends with you. You're a cute guy, but I have issues. I'm sure I'm already dissappointing you. Gotta run now. Late for dinner."

I gotta admit - I'm dissappointed (sic) with her subtlety but impressed with her honesty! 

(P.S.  She did comment about my duct tape wallet...the true litmus test of potential compatibility (or, the outer boundary of tolerance!))
