Numbers were exchanged
His attraction was alleged
Even hugs were shared
Alejandro drives
Genius mix of pop music
Bumps on the speakers
Like the apostles
Three days Alejandro waits
Rules and Resurrections
Lo, the call is made
Lo, now he must play it cool
Lo is Lauren's friend
Return call never comes
The message falls on deaf ears
Too meh to notice
And the prior girl
Was already forgotten
He's back to square one
The synchro swimmer
Cuter than any button
Returns, well sort of
Irons in the fire
They are fewer, but still hot
This dater abides

Do you like apples?
No, I haven't been holding out on you dear readers, I've just been crazy busy. But not too busy to go on a date!
I went out last Thursday with Lacey. We went to a bar I am fond of and had drinks. It was good, but not quite great. A couple things of note:
(1) I did find myself wanting to impress her, which is a great sign during a date
(2) She didn't necessarily find me as hilarious as I find me (which is ridiculous - I'm hilarious), but I was struck by some of the things she did find funny. For instance, I told me the amazing story about when I sang the National Anthem at a high school volleyball game, and the part of the story she most strongly responded to was when I began the story by saying "In high school, I was the announcer for our volleyball team." (Seriously, it's an awesome story)
(3) She refuses to watch 30 Rock because she hates Alec Baldwin. I don't know how I feel about this. I agree that Baldwin is probably a terrible human being, but he's just so damned funny.
The date ended, as I had to head to tutoring, but I did ask if I could call her, and she gave me her number (and it's her real number, which is great). We then hugged, and I gave her a smooch on the cheek. CHEEKED! BAM!
In the days since, I did call her last night and left a message. I hope she calls back. I wasn't, at the end of the date, super crazy about her, but I think it's possible that something will develop there over a couple dates. Some relationships are like pan-seared scallops: they don't take long to achieve awesomeness. Others, however, are like braised pork: they need time and some simmering before they reach their potential. But I love braised pork as much as (if not more than) I love pan-seared scallops, and so I'm happy to put in some time to see if this works.
