DATE ONE

PART ONE 
Let's call this guy Seacrest. He kind of looked like Ryan Seacrest. Or maybe I just wanted him to. Regardless, that's what I'm calling him.

PRE DATE
His message to me is about cars- he drives an awesome car, much like my awesome car, and we start talking from there. In the third message from him, he provides his phone number. Is this normal timing? I haven’t the slightest idea. 

We are now texting on and off for a little over a week. Probably 8 days to be exact. Nothing spectacular and this conversation just doesn’t seem to be THAT interesting honestly; I find that I'm really trying to find things to text back about. But hey, his pictures are cute, so what the hell. 

Speaking of pictures, he sends one of him, shirtless, laying on his couch. Um, ok... thanks? I did not request this. Why he felt the need to send it, I do not know. But, the face was not a part of the picture he texts me. This concerns me. Is there a reason you are not showing your face in this picture? *manually raised eyebrow*
No really, what's wrong with your face?

He requests that I send him a picture now. Alright well, I don't have self portrait pictures on my cell phone. It's just not my style, ok? I also don't play the "What are you wearing right now?" game, so I swear, if that's where this conversation is about to go, I'm shutting this down.

Thankfully, it doesn't go there. Rather, I tell him I'm working out on my elliptical right now, and don't look the best to be taking pictures. He understands, and leaves that be. 

Look, I guess I can kind of understand why he wanted a picture. People lie all the damn time online. You know what I'm talking about- pictures of them from 5-10 years ago, when they had blonde spiked up hair and buff arms and didn't have that beer gut. Sometimes you see a main profile pic and you get excited because he's hot! Then you click next and WHOA- buddy. Buddy, buddy, buddy. What the hell just happened!? Who is that? Oh that's also you? I don't care what you looked like 5 years ago, what do you look like NOW? Anyway, I digress.

Friday arrives, and he texts to make sure we are still on for dinner that night. Of course we are, why would I back out now?
