So tonight's date just ended. It's 5:23. It was a roaring success as well! At first I was a bit put off by Davis's geekiness and tendency to suddenly burst into song (Broadway or Beatles). Then I warmed up to his eccentricities. We drove up Seymour to see the sunset, but on a hill his engine started smelling bad. I thought we should cancel Seymour because it might die up there, and sure enough his engine died. For a few minutes. Then it came back to life and we coasted down... to Horseshoe bay where walked around the back streets and smoked a joint. Then we went to a nice restaurant overlooking the bay and ate seafood appies. Oh did I mention he brought flowers and a Norman Rockwell calendar?
 
Then we sat on a bench by the water talking till two-ish. It got cold. He kissed me. He dropped me off, and we snuggled a bit.. (okay, for an hour or two), and he just 'tucked me in' and drove off... and I pretended to go to sleep but of course I have to pop up to blog. So yeah. He's old, but we agreed not to exchange ages for now. He doesn't know mine, I don't know his. He's had a really weird but extremely interesting life. Is doing research in Education faculty at SFU building simulated computer-animated people. Does drag-queen performances on the side. Has a black belt two stripes in karate. Kayaks and camps in remote areas. Lived in the small town I lived in, in Ontario for two years. Taught philosophy classes and counselled people using practical philosophy. Was an herbalist and combined this with massage. Moved out at age 15. Was in a gang sometime after and lived on the streets.
 
We had a good discussion about people in BC compared to back east. It went deeper than the one last night. Last night's date was the epitomy of a good date conversation-wise. We talked about everything and had a lot of common views. But we talked so much that silence was odd. Tonight's date, while convo wasn't as mentally stimulating.. the pace of convo was better, and we had a great physical connection as well. He seems to be a hopeless romantic and says exactly what he's feeling. This scares me a bit. He talked about making future plans a lot throughout the night. I nodded but didn't make any promises. I'm hesitant. This guy knows what he wants and goes for it. No casual dating, like last night. Right now we are slated to either do dinner again tomorrow night, or rent movies and snuggle next Sat.
