DATE NINE
SO SOON?
Obviously. I need more than just one POF data point. So, let’s count how many men I’ve gone on a date with at this point…let’s see here now, I went out with 7 men from Match, and now 2 from POF, so I have met a total of 9 men from the scary internet!

| What am I doing with my life?.. |
So, what shall we call subject 9? I’m going with Stephano. Why Stephano, you ask? Honestly, there is absolutely no reason to call this Canadian man Stephano; I simply wanted an excuse to use the name Stephano.
So then, on to the date! Were there any disappearing pants or weapons involved in this date? Let’s find out!
PRE DATE:
Actually, this one is a bit unique in that there really wasn’t much that happened prior to the date. There were a couple of messages back and forth (literally like two each), then the exchange of phone numbers, and one day later, about 6pm he texts asking if I’m doing anything that night and want to meet. He's hot, seems smart and is willing to drive from about 30 miles away to come see me, so I said yes, ok? I said yes dammit.
On that note, this is the first man who has been willing to drive to MY city on the first meetup and it made my freaking day. It’s so sad, the bar has been set so goddamn low at this point that just his willingness to drive to my city on the first meetup was super impressive.
DATE:
I met Stephano at a coffee shop around 8pm. Sure enough, just as he was in his pictures, he was pretty hot in person too. And his teeth- dammit he had perfect teeth. Hair was a bit messy, but that’s alright because he rode in on a motorcycle.
The conversation went well for the next 2 and a half hours. He had some pretty entertaining stories to share and he just seemed like a cool guy overall. I thoroughly enjoyed his stories and at the 2 and a half hour mark, we decided to make the date more awesome and go get dinner.

| Oh shit Stephano is going the extra mile, literally! |

(This is good, yeah? I mean, shit unless he was really just THAT bored that night and also really hungry so he decided to put up with my shit for another few hours just to avoid boredom and satiate his hunger….)
I am enthralled with this guy. He's easy to talk to, he's got love for the neon colors in my hair, he seems intelligent but without being a condescending mansplaining prick about it. He's a chemistry teacher so he can't be a super idiot, right?
Plus, he had neon green wheels on his car previously, and I’m about to put neon yellow wheels on my current car. C’mon, that’s pretty awesome.
WHY IT WILL NEVER WORK WITH STEPHANO
Alright, well Stephano just got out of a relationship back in January of this year, and has been on and off again with his ex until approximately the last month. He said its been a solid month since he had last spoken to this ex so he “thinks” that it is over for good now.
Many of his stories, while awesome and entertaining, did involve his ex. He also mentioned that he just moved in to his new place a week prior and is still unpacking, but that he's avoiding certain boxes because they contain items that will trigger memories. I’m pretty sure there is still pain there, and he isn’t over her just yet. I just provided a distraction.

At 2am we parted ways and the last thing he told me was “if you are in or around the [city he lives in] area, hit me up.” That sounds like something a bro would say to another bro about hanging out sometime to play Halo or some shit (which, by the way, would be awesome), but not something that a guy would say to a girl he’s interested in dating. Right?
Stephano hasn’t texted me since then so I am going to conclude that I was just a one night distraction.

| Well, I guess it's better than being a one night stand.... |
I’ve also been instructed not to chase, so I will not be sending any texts his way as a follow up.
