2.4

I need to change my dizzler profile to read: YOU MUST MAKE DECISIONS and/or PLANS! Is it that hard? Look, I believe everyone has a mind for themselves, but on a first date, a man should have an idea if not a plan of a place to go. For the second time this week, I met a date on the corner, and then walked aimlessly around looking to go somewhere. That usually leads to a conversation like this: do you want dinner? I don’t care, I don’t care either, do you want drinks? Where do you want to go? - Its very frustrating, to be in the city where choices are endless, and not have the other person help to make a decision. Or at least just decide for the first date. That was my PSA- I met L on the corner of 50 and Lex- we walked to 2nd, and 58th looking for places… all the while passing places that I said, oh how about this, or that… just frustrating. Now, L is cute, he has bad teeth, but he’s nice. He’s Israeli, and when I spoke with him on the phone the night before, I thought, yikes- I’m in for a rude awakening, because I can barely understand him. It was slightly better in person. We went to get sushi, and spoke a lot about his life in Israel, and the army, and his business he started here. I think he’s very ambitious- his family runs a diamond manufacturing company in Israel, and they ship him the diamonds, and then he sells it to brokers, who then sell it to the store. He lives with a few Israeli friends, and at that moment, I imagined myself out on a Friday night with him, and thinking- wow I can never be buzzed around him and his friends, because I wouldn’t understand what they’re all saying! Incidentally- they speak Hebrew at home. He’s cute, and nice, but too thin, and the teeth. Overall I’m on the fence about this one. We shall see if he calls.
Tonight I’m meeting up with J on the West side to begin the "Weeds" series. As far as "we" are concerned, I’ll feel it out later- his shyness might be diminishing- but then again, I might be wrong.
