I had high hopes for this one, which is rare as I have been so jaded by the whole online dating scene. We swiped right and he pretty much immediately asked for my number and suggested a phone call. Some may find that too forward but actually prefer that. I do not want a penpal but for some reason most of the guys on these sites do. I have no interest in talking to you for weeks on end and then possibly meeting only to find out we have nothing to talk about.
Most of the time it just fizzles out before a real date and I have wasted far too much of my time for nothing. So this was a real breath of fresh air. And the conversation was great! We spoke for an hour on the phone, it was easy conversation and we seemed to have lots to talk about. I was excited.
We went for a drink a couple of days later and overall it was nice. There were no fireworks but there was pleasant conversation and no awkward silences. I sent a nice thank you text afterward and he responded by letting me know he thought I had more chemistry with our server than him. Cool. (Yes, I was chatty with the server, he was a chatty server. It is his JOB…)
