Post Date Report

I know some of you actually stay up to read these so I wasted no time when I got home to write it. Well I arrived at CPA girl's place at 7 to pick her up. When I called she told me to come on up which worked at well with the flowers. She has a very nice place, a cute cat, and still drop dead gorgeous. So after a few minutes we headed out. Isla's turns out to be her favorite restaurant so that works out very well. We talk about everything under the sun. I mention my son which I don't know how it will go over. Always a hurdle. She runs it through her mind that I have been married and now divorced (yes!). Since she is Russian I didn't know what was the slow down in thought process, but then she admitted she had been married and is also divorced, but with no kids. I could see relief on her face and I think that was a worry for her.

Dinner was fun, but she was hard to read. Her body language going from open to close and then back to open. I was having a fun time so I pressed on. She asked what I wanted to do afterwards. I asked her what she had in mind since I was thinking of a walk on the beach or boardwalk. That turned out to be her suggestion and she wanted to surprise me with where. So I followed her directions over to the bay to a spot I haven't been before. We kicked off our shoes and had a nice walk down by the surf trying not to step on all the tiny sand crabs as they scurried out from underneath our feet. On the beach I loosened up more and CPA Girl noticed that I was more silly. She said she couldn't tell during dinner if I was having fun or wanted to be touched. I told her yes to both, but when I'm nervous I sometimes fall back to old habits of having a stoic manner. I thought I had gotten rid of that.

So then we had some fun walking up and down the beach. At some point I turned her around to kiss her which she hungrily returned. We walked back to car swapping stories and I drove her home. I walked her to her door and asked to see her again. We started to make plans and then she just invited me in. We hung out and she showed me one of her photo albums of her family back home. We then kissed some more with both of us remarking how the other's lips were nice and soft. So we will probably go back out Sunday before I have pizza.

One thing I realized tonight while sitting with CPA Girl is that with her the last 3 women I've dated all have a zest for life. Their reaching for their dreams or seeking to have fun in their lives. Something I am doing also so it was nice to notice that I was attracting this good quality. I like her.

Pre Date Plan

Well I called and left a message for CPA girl about tonight. When she called back we small talked and I found out her feet were killing her so their would be no dancing tonight. So we agreed on drinks and see how it goes if we did anything else. I choose Isla's since it would be a quiet place for drinks and the food is excellent if we wanted to stay. It will be weird that this is the first pick up date in a long time. I usually meet the woman at the place or some midway point. I'm picking her up at her place. She did tell me to call and she would come down to meet me. So during my break today I'll run over to the florist to pick up a flower for her and get my car cleaned. Since we aren't getting together till 7 I'll hit the gym after work, grab a shower, and don a clean outfit since we had our office block party today and I'm a sweaty mess. Wish me well. I'll blog later about it.

That was Weird

I just got a call from Chamber Girl. Do you remember her? I asked her out for drinks a couple of weeks ago, but I thought she was just yesing me. Well she just called to get an appointment for her boyfriend. Why didn't she just say so?

Oh well I'll give CPA Girl a call in a little while and see if we can go dancing again tonight.

He Shoots, He Scores

So I stopped by the boardwalk before hitting salsa tonight. I had practiced and having gotten one type of salsa down I hoped that tonight would be easier. The crowd was really light. Anyway I knew one new woman had signed up to come. From her picture she was attractive, but my jaw dropped when she arrived. I smiled and waved over to her. She asked why we were all spread out. So I invited her to my table since the seats were cushioned. So between us and another guy we started up a conversation. During this I gave (her = CPA girl) directions to park her car in the lot so she wouldn't be towed. While this happened the place filled up nicely.

So the instructor was slower tonight since more than half the people there were for the first time. It was the same step from last time with a few twist. I got it pretty fast and the women were complimenting me. On my dancing. That was weird. It was nice to see many familiar faces which made it fun. Anyway it comes to break so I ask CPA girl to dance. We have a fun time and I teach her a new move. She's enjoying pushing her body against mine which I take as a good sign. Afterwards I sit back with her and we chit chat some more.

After break we are separated again which is no biggie and I kind of like the break. I actually have a few women want to dance with me. The night is getting strange. Anyway during the next break I sit to relax. CPA Girl is kept on the dance floor. She is a Type 1. Attractive s she'll be on it all night. However she is not wearing the right shoes and comes back to relax. We talk some more until it is meringue time. This is a fun dance and were both against each other. So I figure I need to ask her out.

CPA Girl finally gets to the point she can't dance anymore. She is going to go and I offer to walk her back. I would do it for any woman late night on a deserted street, but it gives me time to talk. We don't get far before she is suggesting we get together. I agree and we trade phone numbers. We hug and I help her into her car.

I was going to go out with friends tomorrow night for a singles event, but I would rather go out with CPA girl and we can dance again tomorrow if we want.

Hi I'm Mike.

Yes I can say it now and it feels great.

The Unwritten Salsa Rules

As I said before salsa is different than all other dancing in that no where else do I go and there are a bunch of men wanting to dance and very few women. The dance itself is so Hispanic it's not funny. The guy sets the tone and the women just looks beautiful and sexy. Anyway I was talking to DK Girl last night. (So you know girl is single and lady is married). I was saying how all the more experienced guys swoop up the women and it is hard for me to practice once lessons end. So I got to hear her point of view which is true.

There are 3 groups of women at these events.

1) the attractive women - no one cares if they can dance. The seasoned pros just grab them and these women will most likely never stop spinning till the night is over or they puke.

2) the women who can dance - after all the #1's are gone this is the next group to go

3) what's left - nuff said

I have to agree with my teacher last night. It doesn't matter how many moves you know it is only the ones you can do well that will impress your partner. So with salsa on the 2 I can do 3 basic moves well. Salsa on the 1 still escapes me since it is completely different footwork even though it is the same beat. What truly sucks is Thursdays has the greatest amount of people to practice with, but it is Salsa 1. RRRRRRR frustrating.
