The uber chic Indian

We met a couple of months ago. He wrote to me and asked if he could take me to Gyu Kaku which is one of my favorite places to eat in NYC. Of course I would never turn down a free meal even if its not at a super swanky overly priced restaurant. It was pouring down rain and when I arrived he was already there out front waiting ever so patiently.

He was VERY well dressed and had a beautiful smile. He was tall with a slim built (mmm my favorite), and spoke with a british accent. Once we were seated he thanked me for coming out to have dinner with him. This guy has got to be one of the, if not, the most polite creatures I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. We ordered some plum wine and my usual favorite dishes from the menu to share. He really liked the food..not surprising because everyone does.

We spoke about his native India and his family and how he grew up. He also told me about his business. He owns two Japanese hair salons as well as a mobile phone store in New Jersey. He describes himself as a Slumdog millionaire..lol although his story is different, it was still very fascinating. He was very smart, charming and not at all what I was expecting oh and get this..He Also doesn't like Indian food just like me.

So the evening was winding down and I double booked yet again and needed to get going. Not long before we were going to leave he gave me a bag which contained a bottle of sake he bought for me as a gift. I was like OMG no one has ever given me a gift on a first date or even the first time meeting! I must say I was impressed which isnt easy to do. It was such a lovely gesture and he expressed interest in hanging out again to which I accepted of course.

We leave Gyu Kaku and with a bit of trouble due to bad weather he manages to wrangle a cab for me. We hug goodbye and and go our seperate ways.
