Playing With Matches

What started as a means of chronicling the online dating experiences of two picky yet adventurous almost thirty somethings has turned into a chronicle of all that is, was and has made up their collective dating histories. Our two original daters are now joined by several other fun, breezy, sassy gals, and Playing With Matches is now a missive on dating misadventures, a cacophony of ups and downs, turmoil and bliss. With a bit of snark mixed in here and there.

A Potential Success.

So, this evening I spoke to Reluctant Dater after the conclusion of her date. Here is my take on why this first date was a bigger success than her last first date:

1. He paid (okay, yes we're modern, educated, young professionals, but LBH, we still like our doors to be opened and our wallets to stay in our uber cute purses);

2. He pulled out her chair and cleared the table when they were finished (they had coffee and sweet treats--his idea!);

3. They managed to have conversation about topics other than the weather; and

4. When I asked whether there were plans for future correspondence, RD responded, "Yes, and the thought of that does not repulse me as it did last time."

I could elaborate further, but I'll defer to RD. I'm sure she has a thing or two to add. However, as the date went well, perhaps she'll follow in my tradition and give as few details as possible. Only time will tell.
