Yes, you read that right. A went on a date with Jason Statham. Ok, ok, kidding totally but my date looked very much like him. Beautiful bald head, wonderfully sculpted face, lovely blue eyes. He told me a story on the phone prior to meeting about how he got pulled over in a bar once by a gaggle of giggling girls who wanted to have someone take their picture with him. He was utterly confused by this and asked them who they thought he was ... why, Jason Statham of course!! If you're not familiar he is a British actor who was the star of The Transporter series of action movies and was also in The Italian Job and probably also a part of other ensemble casts in other buddy flicks/action movies. Anyway, I personally consider him to be very attractive so was for sure excited to meet this one after hearing that story. So, onto the date ...
We met on a rainy Sunday evening and I immediately found him to be nice, sweet, funny, charming and very attractive (despite the outfit choice of a T-shirt, shorts, and Chaco sandals - he explained that he'd been volunteering and took some kids on a hike that afternoon, so I immediately forgave him and then felt like a bitch). We spent hours sitting at the table, food unfinished, drinks flowing, just talking ... about family, home (not the city we both live in), friends, where we like to go out, what we like to do. We even had a lengthy string of conversation about food, cooking, and vitamins. He is health conscious like me and has food issues like me!! It was great. I always pretty much feel like I can be myself with these people because if they judge me, who cares?? I've just met them and they probably have issues, too (FOR SURE have issues, too) so I feel like I can go into the first date and let it all hang out. But I still have some hesitation about telling people that I don't eat meat, etc. because it can lead to conversation that quickly become heavy and political. Not good first date convo. But with this guy he totally got it and was totally supportive, telling me that he rarely eats meat also and prefers seafood.
Ok, enough of that. Here are the weird things that happened. As I'm leaning over the table showing him pictures on my cell phone that I took the night before at an art opening, Date Thirty Seven called!! JS (as we'll call him from now on) looked at the phone, then looked at me and said, "Hey, _____ is calling". I quickly turned the phone around and probably turned a bit red and just blew it off. We went back to looking at the pictures and then the screen flashed to show that Date Thirty Seven left a message, which JS also then pointed out. Obviously there was nothing to indicate that his caller was another suitor, but it was weird nonetheless. He also mentioned that he'd been single for a long time and really liked it but felt ready to meet someone and settle down. Interesting reveal for the first date ... I appreciated it though, because I completely agree and told him so. Then we smiled at each other ... cheesy but cute.
After all the food was gone and we decided that we didn't really need to drink any more on a Sunday evening, we rolled out. We walked up the block and got to the corner where he'd go one way and I'd go mine. We continued to talk a bit and then finally said goodnight. He gave me a great, great, great hug and said that he'd really like to see me again. I also said that I'd like to see him and turned and walked away smiling ear to ear. It was really nice to have another great date. After the heartache associated with The Gentleman's disappearance, I think I really needed it ...
On another note, I want to apologize for being somewhat behind with the posts. It's been busy here in my city and with the weather finally becoming nice and warm and sunny, MseDater has been trying to soak up as much of it as possible outside and has been neglecting this journal. I'm going to do better about posting more regularly. And I'd really enjoy comments that you guys have regarding the posts or anything that's on your dating mind ... I enjoy reading them so much and really appreciate all the support!! Well, read on, read on!!
