TWO OUT OF TWO

Last night's dinner with Mr. Show Biz was really great!  Although I was really exhausted from a long and tiring week, so I don't think I was great company.  I tried, but I just wasn't 100% there. But anyway, he picked me up chez moi and when he knocked, my dog didn't bark or growl like she normally does.  She was friendly and acted like she'd seen him a million times before.  It was really weird.  She never doesn't bark (double negative, I know).

He drove us up to Manhattan Beach and we went to dinner at a nice sushi restaurant.  During the dinner he made a passing comment about how someone told him he needed to tone down his "Ari Gold vibe" (Entourage character)... I thought this was hilarious, given the Ari Gold avatar I chose for him.  Of course I didn't tell him why I was laughing so hard.  I think he just thought I was drunk on sake or something.  He's much nicer than Ari Gold, though.

On the drive home he held my hand in the car (he drove with one hand).  It was the best hand-holding session I've ever had.  Electric!  Natural.  I thought it was just me, but in a follow-up email he mentioned how much he enjoyed holding my hand.  He's really taking his time, and I know I won't have to put the brakes on with him because he's not rushing into anything anyway.  He's very confident, but he just really understands the "romance dance."  Me likee.  Men who understand the romance dance are often men with a "slow hand", if you know what I mean!  And that rocks.  My world.

Just got back from lunch today with Daddy Warbucks.  It was surprisingly great!  We met in Long Beach (it took him 1.5 hours to drive down here!).  He was totally behaving and seemed so nice and genuine.  A total gentleman and great conversationalist.  A striking look.  I asked him about dating AJ, and he told me that was just a joke.  He's never dated her, and he said that if he had, he wouldn't tell me like that.  So apparently he's not an obnoxious name-dropper.  I guess that joke totally went over my head.  We hugged good-bye at my car and he said he'd be in touch, so we'll see.  

I really like him.  The only caveat is that he's a Cancer, too!  His birthday is one day (and 18 years ) away from mine!  I love Cancers, but two Cancers = CRAZY!  Drama will ensue.  Trust.

So far, my dates this weekend are two out of two... positive experiences... let's see if tomorrow's with Night Man will make that three out of three!

FYI, I'm thinking of not accepting any dates for next weekend and just relaxing at home for two days.  A homebody's dream.  I'm REALLY tired and feeling run down... on the cusp of getting sick.  And I almost never get sick.  No more WEekends... Miss LB Woman needs a MEekend!  I think that's so clever (it's probably just cheesy, already been done and dumb).  But I think I just made that up, so you have to cite me if you use that!
