The Beautiful Asian part 5

So after a long discussion The Beautiful Asian and I decided to go to Ella. My friend Jordan owns the place and I hadn’t been before so I was excited to see the place and congratulate him. The Beautiful Asian of course comes to my apt and comes up to hang out for a little while before heading over to Ella. He was cute in his little blazer, jeans and converse. Not long after he is inside the apt he begins to try to take my clothes off. LOL I didn’t mind but I knew that if we started fooling around, I wasn’t going to want to go out after, so I cut if off the moment to tried to pull my tights off..lol. So I convince him to stop and we decide to leave. When we got there, I hugged and chatting with Jordan and then introduced the two of them. The beautiful Asian is the only guy who has met SOME of my friends. Not my closest friends yet. Not sure if its time to introduce him to the “family” yet. Anyway, throughout the evening, we danced a little, enjoyed some music and making out inappropriately. He drank quite a bit and kept trying to get me to drink. I had 1 and a half drinks versus his 10 drinks approximately. I knew he could drink, but holy hell. For a little guy, he can really put them away. He didn’t appear to be drunk at all, but he said he was. So after a couple of hours, he was hungry. We stopped at sidewalk to get some take out. He ordered a turkey burger for me, and he got some ravioli. Then we went back to my apt so I could change and grab some of my things. We decided that I would stay at his apt that night. This is a first for us…I was excited for our first sleep over but nervous at the same time. Of course he insisted on helping me undress into something more comfy! I love that he cant keep his hands off me, but I’m hoping that his attraction to me inst just physical. Anyway, we cab it uptown to his apt in the Upper east side. We eat our food, wash up and go to bed around 4 am. Of course we fooled around and did some naughty grown up things, but no the deed wasn’t done. I kinda wanted to, but he wasn’t really able due to his alcohol consumption. Or at least that’s what he said..anyway… The next morning, well afternoon we wake up and hang out for a while. We have breakfast at the diner down the street and then hangout for a little while longer. Around 1 I decided to leave because I needed to go home and get ready for another date. He spent the day shopping for makeup at Saks for his aunt☺

Wardrobe: Cream, sheer ruffled blouse worn as a dress, black tights, sliver vintage metal belt, black stilleto booties, black leather cropped motorcycle jacket.

Mr. Stunning Blue Eyes part 5

So this was probably the most entertaining date I’ve had in quite some time. It was out of the ordinary. We participated in a scavenger hunt hosted by a company called accomplice New York. Its part show, part scavenger hunt, all fun made even more fun by free drinks and real live librarians. We were a group of 7 people and were greeted by a “ tour guide” in the beginning to give us the rules. He had done this once before but it was in a different neighborhood so it was new for him. We basically went from different points on the west village and had to find a person to give us a clue to get to our next destination. Along the way, we met funny characters and got additional bits of information to complete the mystery. The entire thing lasted about 2 and a half hours and ended at a hookah joint where we hung out with the entire cast at the end of the day. I would definitely do this again on a day when the weather is warmer and with a bunch of my crazy friends. I mean if I laughed that hard with a bunch of librarians and babysitters, me and my retarded friends would make it even more hilarious. So after Accomplice, Mr. Stunning Blue eyes and I went to the Garage restaurant for dinner. I had Chilean sea bass and he had the tuna steak. Both were really good. However it was really hard to talk because there was a live jazz band playing about 7 feet away from us. Needless to say, we were forced to yell at each other in between my frequent trips to the ladies room. I have no idea what was going on with my bladder that evening, but it was really annoying, plus there was a woman who took a really long time in there who I swear must have given birth in the stall. So after dinner, we walk in the miserable cold wind back to his car to leave. During the drive he asked me if I wanted to go back to his place for a little while. I was SHOCKED!! Partly because this was a 1st for him..He’s sooo reserved and hasn’t even made out with me yet, and I was equally shocked by the idea of leaving Manhattan. I don’t do that unless its out of state, and he lived in freakin Long Island..I think. I politely declined this borderline AMAZING offer..lol So he dropped me off at home and I gave him a kiss on the cheek and thanked him for an amazing day.

Wardrobe: Skinny jeans, vans, crap load of layered shirts, leather jacket…totally hipster chic

End scene

The Coupon Guy

Hmm ok so after about a month of emailing, we finally arrange to meet up for dinner. I was intrigued by this guy before we met. He seemed really cool, sophisticated, and charming. I was kinda excited and had really high hopes for this one.. I chose the restaurant Ama in soho to have dinner at 7:30 and we both agreed to show up. I arrived on time, and he was just a little bit late, which I didn’t mind. What ended up walking through the doors was quite unexpected. He didn’t look anything like his photo (Yes we met online) but then again, the photo was rather small, but I could tell he was handsome. Not that he wasn’t handsome in person, but he looked like an entirely different man. On the plus side he was: 6’4, nice bone structure, perfect teeth, nice skin, and slim build. On the not so positive side: receding hairline, and too long in the back, dressed badly (he was wearing front pleated slacks..Holy grossness, ill-fitted button down shirt, and god dare I say it, running sneakers! WTF!!! He definitely didn’t understand the term dress to impress because he certainly wasn’t trying to do that with me. Also he had just come from a networking event, and told me that he had already eaten. Great, so why were we having dinner? Whatever, he ended up ordering food anyway. The food was a little better than ok, but not amazing. We didn’t have any wine, which was fine. I wasn’t really in the mood and wasn’t trying to have an evening of lingering anyway. So we chatted for a couple of hours. He works for American Express and he was explaining some of the nuances of his job, which I completely zoned out on. This guy was sooo long winded and really loved to talk. It was great how engaging he was and he had a really nice smile, but come on…He talked a lot! He also spoke a bit about his family and how he was raised on a farm. Oh also I ordered a bottle of sparkling water but he didn’t drink any of it. He preferred the tap. Whatever. We also didn’t have any appetizers and I ate dessert alone. He didn’t like chocolate. I was beginning to wonder what was wrong with this dude. One a nice side, he was very polite, and listened to me when I spoke. He was very much a gentleman and seemed interested in me. He also told me that when he lived in LA, he was a model…He never booked anything (probably due to his 6’4 stature) but that was something interesting about him. He kinda understood more than I realized about the fashion industry. So I excused myself toward the end of the dinner to use the ladies room, and when I came back, the check was at the table. Not only that, the waiter was there too explaining to him that the coupon (yes coupon) that he brought wasn’t valid and he couldn’t use it because it was only good from 5-7 pm and we arrived at 7:30. I could see he was annoyed, which is man code for embarrassed. Why he was trying to pay for dinner with a coupon on a first date was weird, but I know he tried to make that transaction while I was in the bathroom in hopes that I wouldn’t know and see how cheap he was. After the whole check fiasco, he apologized to me and hoped that I wasn’t embarrassed. Why would I be embarrassed? I wasn’t the one trying to get a discount with a coupon on a first date. I blew it off and enjoyed my chocolate dessert by myself. He watched as I ate it and could tell he enjoyed watching me eat it. Why do men like that? Lol. So after dessert, he stayed a few minutes longer and then finally decided to leave. He walked me to the corner and helped me get into a cab. Almost an hour later I got a call from him, which I didn’t pick up because I was on the phone with the beautiful Asian. He left a message just wanting to make sure I got home safely. That was sweet. Overall, it was a decent night. Not sure if he is THE ONE, but I might go out with him again.

The Straight Chelsea Boy

So this dude and I met online and have been casually emailing back and forth for about a month. Finally we managed to find some time to meet and hang out for a bit. He was growing frustrated by me not making a date with him after all this time and asked me if he should just give up. I don’t like quitters, and I refused to facilitate that for him. So he emailed me a list of suggested places and Inoteca was the most acceptable of that list and I didn’t have the time or energy to find another place to suggest. Besides, I’d been there before and liked the wine menu. So we met up at 7:30 and he was outside when I got there. I didn’t notice him and was about to call him when he walked up to me. So we greet with a handshake and go inside. It was pretty busy and we were seated downstairs. I snatched a couple matchboxes on the way down since I like to collect them. When we got down there I noticed a smell of cigarettes but obviously no one can smoke inside and after a few moments, I concluded that the foul odor might have possibly been his breath! Ugh so gross…I hope I was wrong but I cant imagine what else it could have been since I only smelled it when he spoke. So we order some wine. He got red and I got white. It was a little boring until the wine began to sink in and we ordered some aperitifs to share. He told me about his job in the telecom industry and he was fascinated and strangely intimidated by what I do. I’ve never met a guy who was intimidated by fashion, but I guess it made since because he clearly had no clue how to dress his body. His jacket for Christ’s sake was swallowing him. Anyway, we also spoke about our families. His father came from a very wealthy background and his mom was the complete opposite. His brother and him were also total opposites. He doesn’t believe in religion and his brother is a Hasidic Jew living in Israel. Anyway after about an hour and a half I was winding down and ready to go. I had a lovely time over all and MIGHT consider hanging out with him again. He asked me how I thought the date went, and I said it went well. He agreed. I don’t know, jury is still out on him, but I gave him my number once we exited the restaurant. He didn’t walk me home. It was fine; I preferred to walk alone that night anyway

Mr. Stunning Blue Eyes part 4

It was an awful day and rainy so Mr. Stunning blue eyes offered to pick me up in his car to drive together to I coppi, an Italian restaurant in the East village. He arrives a bit late and I was starving but was happy to see him. It doesn’t take us long to get there but had some trouble finding parking. Once inside the place, I noticed that there was nobody there. The place was empty except one other party of 2 having dinner. I was hoping that it was empty because of the bad weather and people decided to stay in and not because the food was bad. I mean I’d never heard of this place and it was located only a few blocks from my apt. Anyway, we are obviously seated immediately and the waiter gives us some bread which I believe was rather stale, but I ate it anyway because I was starving like a hostage. For dinner I had the seafood spaghetti and he had the crab stuffed ravioli. Both dishes were quite divine especially his. I’d definitely go back for that. Anyway, we chat about everything from our messed up families, to the Jewish holidays, to what we both had been up to over the past month. It’s been a while since we hung out and I had to cancel our last date because I messed up my ankle. I think it was a stiletto induced injury but not certain. We shared some wine ,which was really good. It was kinda chilly where we were seated which was in the garden area in back but it was so cute there. The lights and the décor made it feel really rustic. Anyway, Mr. Stunning blues was sweet, and kind as usual and he asked me out Friday night, which I told him I’d have to let him know about. The date wasn’t all that exciting, but more of just a laid back evening with pleasant conversation. So after dessert, we leave. He opens the car door for me and drive back to my apt. We share a little peck and I go home alone.

Wardrobe: Navy blue and cream tunic dress, eggplant purple tights, grey/olive green pumps.

The Beautiful Asian part 4

It was a Tuesday night and the Beautiful Asian suggested that we have dinner at Montparnasse in midtown near his office. So I meet him by his building around 7 pm. He walks toward me wearing his suit and looking sexy as usual and we greet with a sweet little kiss. He tells me a little about his day as we walk over to the restaurant. He has been there several times, but I’d never even heard of it. We are seating right away during the entire meal we cant keep our hands off each other. We are surrounded by a room filled with an older crowd while we are in a corner section with our hands in inappropriate places. It was naughty but I loved it. I’m really liking this guy and feel a rush of excitement every time I see him. After dinner he tells me that he wants to take me to this great little tea spot down the street but when we got there it was closed. So we decided to grab a cab and head downtown to hang out at my place. We get there and we start talking and cuddling with the occasional kiss in between. I was feeling a lot and I may have let it get the better of me because I begin speaking about us and asking him what he is feeling and what he wants. I know its too early to have these types of conversations but I of course couldn’t shut up and continued rambling to the point where he had to almost lecture me about how all this talk is affecting him, It was having a negative impact on him. I started off as this cool, smart, confident woman that he was excited about and now I’m acting like some stupid, insecure little girl. He asked me what he could do to get me to trust him, but I kept telling him that my man issues were not his fault and that I apologize for making him pay for someone else’s mistakes. He knows that what I’m going through has nothing to do with him but the conversation we had was still serious enough for him to freak out. After a couple of hours it was time for him to go, so I walk him to the door and we kiss goodnight. I wonder if I will see him or even hear from him again. Shit, looks like I ran away yet another man.

Wardrobe: Black sheer blouse, high-waisted jeans, black stilettos

The European Doctor part 5

We hadn’t seen each other in a while and I was wondering if I was still interested in him so I agreed to have dinner with him. I chose to meet him at an Argentinean/Spanish spot called La Zarza. Food sucked, and the waiter was really slow. Man I have not had much luck with trying new places recently. The entire time, he was being sweet and charming and I usually like it but this time I just wasn’t into it. Guess that saying, out of sight-out of mind is kinda true. I mean he’s a wonderful guy and I would like to continue hanging out with him, but I don’t see him as the one. That night all he talked about was medical stuff and I love that he is passionate about his profession but its really the only thing he has to talk about. So after about 2 hours of this, he walks me home and we arrive to my building shortly after. I had my keys all ready and wasn’t planning on engaging in a stoop make up session because for me the spark was no longer there. I guess he felt differently and proceeded to kiss me. I didn’t want to be rude or hurt his feelings, so I kissed him back but I definitely held back significantly. He wants us to go on a double date with his friend and one of my friends…you know..Martina. My double date partner in crime, so we will see. But I think I just want to be friends with him. And well hey it doesn’t hurt to have a doctor friend especially when you don’t have medical insurance.

The Investment Banker 3

So for my birthday, the investment banker, who by the way, I’m growing increasingly annoyed with and cant figure out why I even respond to his text messages but anyway, back to my story..He decides to invite me to brunch for my birthday aka cheap date. For someone with $$ he is awfully cheap. We went to local place in the East village called Westville. Wasn’t impressed by this place, or anything it contained. In fact, it was probably the driest turkey burger I’ve had in my entire life. So he picked me up as usual and asked me if I wanted my gift before brunch or after. First of all, why did he get me a gift? I was puzzled by this. He didn’t know me well enough to know what I even like. So I told him after. He actually mentioned that he had 2 gifts for me. I wasn’t excited because I knew it wasn’t shoes. Yes I asked him if it was shoes…lol So we finish our borderline shitty brunch and we go back to his car so he can drop me off. I told him I had a photo shoot at 4:30 (he thought we were going to spend the day together) He probably should have asked first ahead of time instead of assuming that bullshit. He said he would drive me to the photo shoot and would wait while I gathered a few things at my apt. So before I headed up to get my stuff, he reaches in the back seat to give me my gift. And guess what it was…a box of fucking panties from Victoria’s Secret. OK first of all, this was ONLY the 3rd times I’ve seen this man in my life. Secondly we have NEVER slept together nor are we in a relationship so the fact that he gave me lingerie and had the effin balls to tell me he wanted me to try them on for him was retarded and incredibly inappropriate. I looked at him and asked him if he was out of his mind! He didn’t get it. And on top of that, which was even more insulting was that he didn’t even have enough sense to know that Victoria’s secret isn’t good stuff. I mean he makes enough $$ to afford La Perla or agent provocateur, but no. He gives me cheesy panties from VS that were too big and in styles I would never select for myself. I was pissed so I asked him about the 2nd gift he said he got for me. LOL and guess what this jackass said! Oh it’s at my place and you have to come over to get it. Does he think I’m retarded? I would never go back to his place again after he tried to get into my pants on our first date. I was grossed out but still let him drive me uptown to the shoot (it was raining and I was wearing the Chanel Ostrich heels) At every stop light, he became even more annoying and gross by grabbing me and trying to make out with me. I had enough and finally had to be a total bitch with him and tell him not to fucking touch me. So we get to the shoot location, and I make him come up with me because I knew that if I had him just drop me off, he would have tried to kiss me again and I wasn’t having it. So we go up, he meets my amazing photographer friend and gives me a hug goodbye. Now he’s asking to see the photos. Holy hell!

Wardrobe: dark skinny jeans, Chanel heels, button down shirt

The Beautiful Asian part 3

So I was invited to my friend Suze’s birthday party at the Brass monkey last Friday night. I needed a date so I asked the beautiful Asian if he would be down for taking a trip to the meat packing that night. He was all for it and I think he’d been there before. I don’t go to bars, but I think I’d heard of it once. Anywayssss, he meets me at my apt and comes up for a little while. We had a glass of champagne and just hung out for a while before heading out. We ended up getting there around 11:30-ish and it took us about 20 minutes to find her because the place was jammed packed with unfortunate bridge and tunnel people. So we finally find her and we hug and hang out for a little while before she continues mingling. The beautiful Asian and I sit down and enjoy some adult bevies and chit chat. That’s when one of my models shows up. He had been calling me and I totally forgot that I even invited him..So I introduced him to my date and he proceeds to tell me that Chantal (an underage model) isn’t able to get in because she didn’t have a fake ID. So we all head outside to see if we can somehow persuade the bouncer to let her in. Why she was out the night before and early flight to Greece was beyond me, but whatever. So we hang out a bit longer before I grew bored of the situation and the beautiful Asian and I decide to leave. We head back to my apt for a few hours of making out and then he headed home.
