The Mexican

one of my friends convinced me to re-join plenty of fish, in addition to eharmony. she met her recent boyfriend from POF and he's a great guy, so i thought 'why not?'. i was soon contacted by cesar (AKA the mexican). after a few messages back and forth, i gave him my email address and quickly discovered that he was packing for mexico city and leaving the next day. even though he was gone for two weeks holiday, we basically wrote each other every day and i began to look forward to his emails. now normally i am NOT a fan of a lot of messages prior to meeting up, but i went with it. the mexican is an attractive fellow, 32, 5'11, has been living in canada for 3 years, is a bit of a foodie like myself and has a good job.

this past week he emailed me to let me know that he'd be arriving back in ottawa at midnight on friday and would i like to meet up over the weekend. we arranged for mid-afternoon drinks at chez lucien on saturday. things i noticed when we first met: he's cute, has thick curly hair, funny, personable and very sweet (he brought me chocolates from mexico!). also, let's face it, there is something very attractive about a man who speaks spanish. we spent 3 hours together and i definitely had a good time - enough to be curious how a second date might go. sometimes you know right away and other times it's hard to know how you feel after a first date. i am a bit surprised that i haven't heard from him yet, but we'll see!
