Double Dater

things with brian have moved really quickly and everything is going really well. we've met some of each other's friends, he's sweet, we mutually keep in touch often and i enjoy his company. hell, we're even planning a vacation together. all of that being said, i am well aware that we haven't known each other for very long and probably won't have an "exclusive" conversation for some time. i don't want to get too invested in brian too quickly - for all i know, he could be out dating other chicks.

this leads me to kyle.

i was set up with kyle through a friend of a friend. we met up for coffee this evening (hello, sober date!) in the glebe. now, to be honest, i did have a moment where i felt guilty before going on the date. brian had called to see what i was up to - i'm not very good at lying: "oh, just getting together with a friend." i've never been very good at dating more than one person at a time. but i digress... kyle is 33, funny, owns his own house in the south end of the city, works from home for a financial company, and is originally from thunder bay but has a brother living in the city. he's cute - kind of has a colin farrell thing going on. we immediately launched into talk of jobs, family, travel, and live music. i thought the date was going well, but after roughly an hour, kyle sort of abruptly claimed he had to go meet up with a buddy of his. to be honest, it threw me off. i was JUST getting to know this guy, and i thought things were going well, and he's ready to leave? i figured he either double booked himself or maybe it was an excuse to get out of a bad date. one thing that i did notice on our date was that he didn't seem to be paying attention to our conversation. for example, we had this whole conversation about how i didn't own a car, and then he'd ask me where i parked. it happened several times - maybe nerves or a serious case of ADD? at the end of our (short but sweet) date, kyle did say that we should get together again. so we shall see!

in other news - my eharmony account expired yesterday. i didn't renew it because i was honestly really disappointed in my eharmony experience over the past 6 months. i was VERY rarely contacted by any of my matches, or i would communicate with someone and get halfway through the eharmony stages and then it would fizzle. the site has clearly worked for some of my friends, and maybe i will try it again in the future, but for now, i am taking a break from it.
