So I am going on my first face-to-face date with bachelor #1 this Saturday. The photos the matchmaker sent me along with his profile are nice enough. And while I feel he isn't really my type (read: broke and jackass-ish) I figure I will step out of my box and see what happens. He has been very nice when we have talked over the phone, if not a bit direct. Side note: I have noticed there is a distinct difference between conversations you hold with someone you met on the street and are trying to see where things go, and someone you met through a matchmaker and know exactly the expectations of each interaction. It's a bit odd...
Anyway, back to the story at hand. So we have been exchanging emails back and forth and today is the second time he has mentioned that he still needs to secure a place to stay in town (he is coming from out of state). The first time I passed it off as information sharing, but now that he has mentioned it a second time I am beginning to think he is a bit of a dog. Mention it once, that is information sharing, mention it twice and your are bordering on flat out asking if you're getting lucky after the date. Unfortunately for him, needy/assuming pressuring has never been the way to go with me. So, I changed our dinner date to a lunch date so that he will have time to travel back home that same day and not need to secure a hotel.
I don't think that was the response he was expecting, but he accepted it. Of course, there wasn't a much more he could do. Moral of the story- don't be a dog, it might bite you in the ass.
