The Dating Files: Dom

So I went on my first online date last week with a guy that we'll call Dom (short for Dominican because ya'll know I love all things Latino and he was certainly repping the DR!). I was really excited to start getting this online research together for the blog so I could start making good on some of these posting promises.

I don't know what the proper protocol or timing of this whole thing, but essentially Dom and I hardly talked before meeting up. I mean we messaged like maybe twice and he called, but I was busy so it was whateves. I actually liked it. Straight to the point. He has an awesome job as an educator and is currently in school getting his Masters Degree. Double bonus points and shout-outs to higher education. 

We decided to meet up at a bar near my place for drinks. I wore some jeans, a white T, and a lace cardigan. Sensible. Boots. No frills. I might have even still had my show face on from work that day - ha! So anyways, he got there a bit before me and got a table. I walked in and recognized him immediately. Good sign. He looked like his picture and he was wearing the cutest green festive sweater. Handsome. 

We chatted for a bit over wine. Laughed a lot, had a good time. Then we went to a friend's holiday party. I know, right? Seems like a bit much maybe for a first meeting, but I was ready to get to my homegirl's house plus, he had on such a festive sweater that it seemed fitting (pun partially intended). It actually worked out well because I could see how he interacted with everyone and they actually rather adored him.

After an hour or so at the party I was ready to roll out so he drove me home (like a few city blocks away, but it was raining) and that was that.

Nice guy. He said he wants to see me again. That's cool. I'd be down. Not sure that he's THE ONE, but it was all good. Stay tuned, kids!
