Hinge - J

Super cute. His eyes give me Jackson Avery (grey’s anatomy) vibes in person. He’s average build, short-almost shaved brown hair, blue eyes. He was wearing dark parts and a quarter zip grey knit sweater with dress shoes. Sooo cute. Very soft personality as well. Passionate but kind and somewhat quiet. He didn’t leave any lulls in conversation but you can definitely tell he’s the guy who would be okay with silence.

We went to Walkerville eatery and he remembered quite a lot about me. He’s close with his family, he has one niece. He’s very science based which is total opposite of me but he’s also big into movies which is nice. He was telling me a story about his parents and he started to say “well she’ll tell you” hesitated and then continued “if you ever meet her”. So so cute. We had lots to say to each other. Downside is he lives in the states. But his drive to the restaurant was only about 25 minutes, so he actually had less of a commute than I did to Windsor. He told me he’d like to show me around downtown royal oak and I am very excited to do so. He also seemed to not want to end the date. Which is a very nice feeling. We went to the brewery across the street after we ate and closed it down at midnight. He asked if I wanted to go anywhere else but I figured we both had a bit of a drive.. and now it’s 1:30am as I write this. So I think it was a good decision. He messaged me when he got home and said he’d really like to do it again. (For the third time). Anyway. When we went to say goodbye, he started to look at me and I looked at him and I went in for a kiss, he gave me a soft peck on the lips and I looked at him and kissed him again and then he gave me a real kiss. I honestly don’t think he would have tried to kiss me if I hadn’t initiated it. Which is a little refreshing compared to the other dates I’ve been on. And makes me feel more comfortable to go to his town next time 🤗

Bumble - D

He’s 27. He’s a chef. Like a fancy chef. At a private restaurant. With the cutest softest beard. And the most beautiful blue eyes. And he’s so so kind, with a little potty mouth.

D sat down across from me and as he began to talk, I actually thought to myself : “his eyes. Holy crap. This is gonna be a problem.” That’s how blue they are, and how deep they look in person. Anyway. He was very sweet. We met at wineology, had a drink there and then headed over to F and B. He introduced me to everyone there. He had the bartender make me my own drink and then he ordered for us (after getting my approval, since I’m picky.) we had lots to say. I found out he used to live in Vancouver. He loves to cook. And when he’s not cooking. He’s thinking about cooking. Before we even got dessert he said he wanted to do this again. And then brought it up again to find out what day we could meet up for our second date.

After dinner he ordered dessert. And when the dessert came, he looked at the ice cream, and he looked back at the waiter and said “we’re gonna need more of that” he’s a big fan. But I love that he was honest and it felt very true to his character for him to do that.

The waiter came over to bring us a shot, which ended up not agreeing with me. So I went to the bathroom but D was very concerned I was not okay. When I came back out I explained I wasn’t sick, and that this happens sometimes with my nerves. He said he was glad I was okay, and he kissed me in the street outside of the restaurant.

We went for a little drive and he showed me where he works. Then we went for a walk down by the river. He opened the car door for me each time we got in. He held my hand as we walked and kissed me periodically.

He texted me before I could get home to say thank you for the date and that “Sunday (the day of our next date) can not come fast enough.” ☺️

🤞🏼 here’s hoping I can make it past a second date with this one!!

Bumble-B- the end?

So B and I had what I thought was a perfect second date. We went to a park for a picnic, we laid in the grass for hours and chatted and kissed and touched and cuddled. He said a lot of things to me. Even told me that I wasn’t like other girls and that he was looking for a relationship with me but that he didn’t want to rush into anything. A whole lot more happened but in short it was very comfortable and affectionate. Then Monday he messaged me this (on the left). Obviously, there was my response. Respectfully I didn’t have a lot to say but I also wasn’t going to not respond to him. Today he messaged me again (on the right). Listen B - the problem is that at this point, it’s no longer about you. You’ve said your peace. I responded respectfully. Now you’ve messaged me again, and made it so that I now have to comfort you and make you feel better for not liking me? I get that you’re young. But this is something you need to realize. At this point it’s no longer about you. You need to leave it alone.

But my question now is, why say all of the things you said to me. You met my family and when I told you you’d have to you said “well I assume I would have met them eventually” okay? I took you somewhere I love and you said “I’m guessing I’ll be coming here more often now.” Why? Why say those things and then pull a 180. I talked to my sister tonight about it. And I remembered lying in the park with you and vaguely brushing over the topic of exes (not even trying to!!) and you shut down. “Well some shit happened but that was so far in my past it doesn’t even matter”. Are you shutting me out because you’re afraid. Because you don’t need to do that!! I can wait. I can help. I like you. I liked. You.

So much shit going on.

The chronicles continue.

B- Date #2

Finally went on a second date with B. I’ve stopped talking to the other guys.

B is so cute and sweet. We went on a picnic and just laid together and kissed and cuddled and chatted. He’s very touchy feely. And he kept saying that he liked me. Told me his favourite thing about me so far is how humble I am. I asked him what he’s looking for, and he said relationship. And I kind of made a face because his profile said “I don’t know” and he’s like “I didn’t think I was. But I like you. You’re not like other girls”

He’s a very good kisser. 😍

Bumble - B

The most adorable thing happened last night. (Or at least I think it’s adorable).

He and I were texting, and he asked what movie I was watching, so I told him

K: Never Back Down

B: you’re joking?

K: nope.. about what part? Why?

B: that’s my favourite movie of all time. I’ve seen it over 50 times. You probably think I’m insane.

K: not at all. There are a number of movies I’ve seen that many times, and some shows that have way too many season, and I’ve seen all the episodes way too many times.

B: I’ve seen One Tree Hill 6 times

K: excuse me

B: you’re excused

K: that’s literally the show I was thinking of when I typed that message. Why do we have the same taste in movies and tv shows.

It just feels like we click. And I’m afraid of what will happen if we don’t continue. I’ll be so sad. Again.

Is there a trick to this? To not catch feelings. Or at least as quick as I do.

He messaged me tonight from work - completely unprompted and said “Id much rather be at home watching a movie right now with you” Now don’t get me wrong. I get that we’ve only been on one date. But is it so much to ask for someone to feel the same way as I do, from the start? It seems impossible. But B makes it feel possible.

N: Am I picking you up?

K: It's okay, I live in _____. I'll meet you there.

N: Oh. I didn't realize you lived that far, we can change locations if you want?

Bumble - N

I’d say this one was a dud. He didn’t seem like a bad person.  He seemed attentive. But I definitely wasn’t attracted to him. And we also seemed to not have much to say to each other. To me it seemed the connection was not there. And then he said “that’s what we’ll do on our next date then” and said something we had been talking about. Did he not realize there had been a ton of awkward gaps in the conversation. We literally sat, eating dinner not talking to each other. On our first date. We didn’t have anything to say. To me, this is a problem. I talk. A lot. I always have something to say. But I didn’t, not to N.  At the end of the date, which honestly didn’t last too long, but it felt long enough. He high-fived me. Way to put yourself straight into the friend zone. Though, he was going there anyway.
