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.

The Third Decade Begins

Roundtrip Metro ticket -- $2.70

Dinner at an excellent restaurant (rated a 23) -- ? (a gift from amazing friends)

Cab ride home from Metro station (hey it was cold!) -- $5.00

Asking the bartender how old you look, only to have him respond 24 -- Priceless

in case anyone (ahem, rcb) asks why this was a top five meal, let me commemorate it here, in our fabulous blog.

1. goat cheese filled black olive pasta
2. tuna tartare
3. crab dumplings
4. horseradish mashed potatoes
5. sirloin, creamed spinach with gorgonzola and bread soaked in all the deliciousness of the plate
6. molten lava cake

NOT chocolate martinis
NOT scallops
NOT french fries
NOT mimosas

Because I feel I must clarify that RD and I are food snobs (and proud of it), I will add that the chcolate martinis (with dinner), french fries, and mimosas (yes, at 9 p.m.) were actual offenses that we witnessed at other tables in the restaurant. What is this world coming to?

do not forget that at the table next to us, the molten lava cake was consumed between the appetizer and entree courses. in the middle. of the meal.

Bad manners or a means of prioritizing? I don't think I would EVER have the guts to do this in a restaurant setting. It was incredibly odd. Excellent people watching.
