Nick

Nick and I had been chatting as well for a while on Match before I left for Hawaii. That being said, we didn't overly text much. I chalked it up to not wanting to waste time texting if there wasn't a spark in person. We agreed to meet up upon my return. I liked that he planned the date and chose a wine bar in the Glebe that I had completely forgotten about! A great date spot.

I was a bit worried that Nick might be too nerdy for me... I guess just based on his photos and profile. And I was concerned that he looked quite different in each photo... You know how sometimes iphones will change imessages to email addresses randomly? Well, this happened in Nick's case, so I knew his last name. I immediately creeped him! I stumbled upon an article in the Globe and Mail about his personal financial investment advice. Nick seemed really smart (engineer with the Navy) and REALLY active. I was worried he might be too active!

I spotted Nick from behind when I walked through the wine bar doors. It was actually quite busy for a Thurs night! Nick got up right away and gave me a big hug which I thought was nice. I have to say, he has one of those contagious smiles. Nick was super chatty... I couldn't tell if he was maybe nervous or not. He spoke a lot about all of his activities (trail running, skate skiing, etc), but made sure to ask me about mine. He is also originally from Newfoundland, tall and skinny, and has only been in Ottawa for about a year, but had lived here for three years previously. I wasn't physically attracted to Nick. He had these crazy eyebrows and was even skinnier in person that I thought he was...

After one glass of wine, Nick got the bill so I got the sense that while polite, he wasn't into me either. Our date lasted an hour. We hugged goodbye and then Nick asked if we could do it again sometime which totally threw me off! I didn't know what to say being put on the spot, so I agreed. I never heard from him though, so I think that maybe he just said that because he didn't know what else to say when we parted. NEXT!
