I went to a screening and then met Mr. Show Biz for drinks.
1. The screening was great! I briefly saw a few people I hadn't seen in awhile, including a friend who I used to know in high school. She was always one of my favorite people in school; She was a cool Junior when I was a lame Freshman, and she and her friend really took me under their wings. We actually ran into each other at the table read for the movie (that we screened last night) last year... it turned out we were both cast in it. I had no idea. Small world! Unfortunately, the movie was running 45 minutes behind, and I was only able to push drinks with Mr. Show Biz back for about 30, so I had to head out early. I still don't know how the last 10 minutes ends!
2. Mr. Show Biz swung by the theatre around 11:15 p.m. and picked me up. The plan was to go to a nice martini lounge in Beverly Hills, but he changed his mind. He thought that was a bit too stuffy, and we went to some Hollywood hot spot instead. I was wearing a dress, so I would have definitely preferred the stuffy martini bar, but whatever, it was fine. My dress wasn't uber-fancy or anything, but there's some faux-fur going on up top and it's one of my faves and I did feel out of place at the bar where we ended up. All the other girls were in casual jeans, heels and cute tops, so I was slightly over-dressed.
The place was too crowded, too loud, too smokey (the ashes from the cigarette of some guy above me and to my left kept falling in my lap), but HE was great. The conversation was great. I always like spending time with him. We held hands the whole time we were talking. The good-night kiss rocked. We're VERY compatible in that arena. He makes me dizzy! I'm a little worried because he IS a Scorpio, and I've heard that Scorpios are notorious freaks. And he really seems to know what he's doing. We were just kissing, but I couldn't help thinking, "Damn, how many women has this man been with?" It makes me a little insecure. He was just so good! Scary good.
Sometimes I talk crazy talk about wild stallions and stuff, but at the end of the day, I just want a nice guy who can turn me on. Mr. Show Biz is definitely a smooth operator, and it's too soon to tell what's really going on with the man behind the curtain, but I'm really hoping he's not a wild stallion. I really hope he's just what he appears to be- a nice guy.
Tomorrow is Daddy Warbucks...
I have a good feeling about Mr. Show Biz! You write about him in a way that is different than the way you write about your other suitors, and I like that he makes you feel this happy and excited. With your other gentlemen friends that you've written about, it seemed like the common theme was a lack of a strong spark. Most were nice, some were funny, some were interesting, but ultimately none of them were able to ring your bell. Chemistry is non-negotiable and unfortunately as women we often try to rationalize when it's not there by thinking, "oh, but he's nice, he's smart, he has a good job...." Our litmus test should be this: if at the end of a date we think, "I hope he doesn't try to kiss me," it's time to move on. It sounds like Mr. Show Biz meets your criteria AND excites you.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the wild stallion bit. It's fun to talk about, but in reality I feel more secure with a tame horse. It can be intimidating to be with a guy who has been around the block so much that he knows every crack in the sidewalk. Plus, thanks to all of the pornos, I feel like freak-expectation of men for women has risen greatly. As a wise woman by the name of Carrie Bradshaw once said, "since when did men think that ass was on the menu?" But just because he may have a lot of experience, it doesn't mean that he's some sort of freak with wildly outrageous fetishes. If I were you, I would just assume that he's a typical guy with normal sexpectations.
Good luck! I can't wait to hear more about him!
Me, too, Kara! He and I just really click. And he's a great communicator, which someone like me needs. I tend to hold my feelings in and hope that a guy will know what to do by osmosis, but he's very good about initiating conversations with me and asking questions... I'm starting to learn some very good communication habits from him. And yes... the spark! We have that. I think about him all the time ; )
ReplyDeleteLOL... totally. ASS IS NOT ON THE MENU!!! No rim jobs, nothing... that is just sooo not sexy! Yeah, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt... and it's not like I'm complaining about his experience (seeing as I'm the one who benefits from his "sexpertise", as you so aptly put it), as long as his Romeo routine stays in the past, and not occurring after we get exclusive (IF, etc.), then I'll be one happy camper : )
Hopefully he's not a playa.
ReplyDeleteAvitable: Crossing my fingers. He has all the makings of a playa... but I believe that he's not, so if he is a playa, he's super smooth!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've observed, players prefer woman with low self esteem. They're cheaper. Why wine and dine someone when you can get someone else and take them straight to the bedroom? Well, then again, some men like the mind fuck of playing a more discerning woman. But, I'm crossing my fingers even though my intuition tells me that you're in the safe.
ReplyDeleteThat's very true. You're right. I'm just being paranoid, really.
