drinks

On Saturday night I took Kilana to the movies. Yes I know it is very gay and cliched that I took her to the movies. I saw quite a few couples there in fact I have a funny story about that. I forgot how busy the movie theaters get on a Saturday night. We bought our tickets for the 7:30pm showing around 7pm and then we immediately had to go wait in a long ass line. We were sort of just standing there awkwardly and there was a couple who were like 3-4 people in front of us in line and they were very public about their affection, hugging and kissing other the entire time. We were both like ooook this is lawl. I tried to play it cool and ignore them and try and shift the conversation to the weather and to politics. We talked about the Obama administration and how things were getting chilly in Austin at night and we were both commenting on how we were happy and grateful that we weren't on the east coast right now where they are getting hammered with cold weather and snow. Of course she spent most of her life growing up in Hawaii which is why she moved to Texas in the first place. She knew that she could never handle the cold. I grew up in New Jersey and I left there because I hated the cold. Between something and nothing as we used to say. Anyways it has been a long time, maybe 10 years, since I last went to the movies. I can't believe how many damn commercials there are BEFORE they actually play the trailers for upcoming movies. Also I don't remember the theater being so fricking loud, I felt like I was gonna go deaf. The movie we went to see was called Twilight The New Moon starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner. I had not seen the first Twilight movie but I read the coles notes on it from a website so I had a pretty good idea of what would be happening. I have to saw I thought it wasn't bad and it deserved a higher rating then what I read online. She said she liked it too and she said that she had seen the first Twilight already and I was like oh I had no idea and she was like ya. After the movie we walked around downtown Austin for a while sipping on some coffees. We stopped somewhere in some park somewhere, sorry I don't recall exactly where it was and we sat on a bench and talked. We were both turned sideways and the light was shining on her face. At one point her hair had kind of blown in front of her face and I reached up and moved it out of the way and then sort of stopped and realized what I had done. She paused for a moment then leaned forward and kissed me. I usually am not into making out in public but we locked lips there for what seemed like 5 minutes. When we were done, I felt embarrassed and got up and told her let's go. She thought it was cute that I was embarrassed and well what could I do. We took a taxi back to her place and she invited me up for a drink. We sat on her couch in her 1 bedroom condo and she explained to me over drinks that she wanted to tread very cautiously because she had her heart broken 2 years ago and still hadn't fully recovered from that experience. She told me she didn't even want to get involved with me and was regretting going out with me in the first place because she said now that she really liked me and could see us maybe taking this somewhere. I was kind of confused but I was flattered at the same time. We made out a bit and then I told her I think I should be heading home to show her I wasn't interested in just getting into her pants. I headed home and happily watched the latest episode of Heroes. Geez I can't wait until my favorite show called "Breaking Bad" comes back on. I think they said they would have a new season in the new year.

I am so sorry to my readers that I haven't posted anything in 2 weeks. I have just been so busy with work and life and dating etc. I didn't realize I would meet so many women online once I joined the dating site. So I will try and do my best to get you all caught up on things. I am working on a major client at work. If I get this deal then I can relax for the rest of the year it is so big.

So I went out with Kilana the Hawaiin receptionist at a law firm. I decided to take her out to Benihana Japanese Steakhouse rather than take her somewhere super expensive the first time around. I did this on purpose for a couple of reasons. First of all I am getting sick of taking girls out and spending a fortune on them only to end up with no action at the end of the night or to never hear from them again. Also I want to be able to start slowly with this girl so the next time I take her out I can take her to a really fancy place rather than show her all my cards the first time.

The place was ok, we had some steaks and some sushi and I pretty much ate too much while I was there because I was happy the prices were lower than what I was used to. She said she had moved to Austin from Hawaii about 4 years ago because she had secured her job at the law firm through a series of online remote interviews. She said she was pretty cautious when it comes to meeting guys because she was married before to an abusive husband who physically beat her up and I was like ah that could be an issue. I was thinking does this girl have too much baggage cuz I have never been out with a girl who was physically abused.

I didn't drink too much and I was starting to feel pretty sleepy but I could tell from the way she was squirming in her seat that she didn't want the night to end just yet so I ordered 4 shots of Jaeger and 2 cups of coffee and tried to wake up and think about where I could take her next. So I went on to my iphone and looked around at some hot spots I could take her to.

I took her to this cheap place called "Spill Bar" on sixth. They have lots of cheap drink specials and a high energy vibe to the place. I didn't want to take her to a fancy dark lounge because we would just fall asleep and the jaeger shots were starting to kick in. The place was jumping, busy as hell, luckily I am a baller and just greased the doorman $20 to skip the lineup. The place was shoulder to shoulder with people and I could have sworn someone grabbed my ass as I was walking through the place to the bar... hopefully it was a female lol and not some random gay dude. There was no place to sit down so we just stood near the bar drinking beers, doing shots, and eventually she dragged me on to the dance floor. I am not much of a dancer but once I get drunk enough, I am willing to put in the effort and commit to the dancing even though I might look like a dork. There were lots of hot young girls around me and a couple of them were eyeing me and even grinding up on me and that made Kilana jealous which I had a lot of fun with. A little jealousy goes a long way.

I was really plastered by the time the bar closed and they turned on all the lights. I was feeling queezy like I was gonna hurl chunks, so quickly got out of there and nearly got hit by a taxi trying to get a ride home. Somehow we ended up finding a taxi and piling into it. I just sat in the back seat with my head leaned back and she sat beside me sort of cuddling up next to me. We kissed a few times in the back seat but I was in no condition to take this girl to bed - I had drank too much, so I figured if she DID want to sleep with me, it could only be a good thing to turn her down cuz that will just make her want me more and I can bang her another time when I can actually feel my body parts. Being numb sucks. So I told her I wasn't up for much more and that we should get together another time. She hopped out at her place after a few more kisses in front of her place and then the taxi driver took me home. Woke up the next morning with my clothes on face first on my bed. Ughhh.

What a crazy week. First of all, Rebecca did decide to talk to me after our date and the random hurling session I had in the taxi. She agreed to go out with me this coming Friday, so that's good. I had to travel most of the week on sales calls. I mainly work out of my office and do inside sales on the phone, but I had some major clients to visit in Dallas and also in Houston. Lots of driving, and lots of blah blah sales and marketing bs. I can't believe some of the stupid conversations I ended up being forced to take part in while we were out with clients at restaurants etc.

The other sales guy I traveled with is really irritating. We have nothing in coming and the guy is a total geek. He also is married to some woman that he can't stand so all he did was bitch about his wife and kids and flirt with every girl that he saw. It was pretty embarrassing as I watched him get shut down time and time again. But at least it made me feel better about my personal life and I certainly got a little more insight into what turns people off.... lol what NOT to do.

Felix almost caught a squirrel the other day and I was kind of worried he might get hurt. People always say having a dog is a great way to meet women etc but I have never had any luck out walking Felix. I HAVE met some women who have dogs walking, don't get me wrong... but none of them were of any quality. They were either way too hot and young, or they looked like their dog was the only companion she had.

I had my choice of 5 different girls to take out on the weekend. It was the most fun I have had in years... looking at their pictures, rereading their emails twenty times over! So I decided to take out Samantha who is a student at the University of Texas... yeah I know, young girls are not my thing, but this girl is very very very good looking and she comes across very mature. I also chose to take out Kilana who is a Hawaiin woman that is 32. She is a receptionist at a high end law firm and looks veryyyyyy sexy in squashed square rimmed glasses I will tell you about the date with Samantha now, and tomorrow I will talk about Kilana.

I decided to take her to Kenichi Austin which is a high end Asian cuisine type of place:



They are renowned for their Asian food and their sushi. I decided to get a 14oz Ribeye Steak just because I wasn't in the mood for asian food. Crap Felix is throwing up, I will be back to finish this later. Ok I am back. She had some sushi and she said it was really tasty. When we were done dinner I asked her if she wanted to go out for some drinks at a lounge or something but she said she was tired and she had to get up early in the morning for classes. I am not really sure if I struck out or not. When I dropped her off we shook hands... you do the math :/

Last night I went out with Rebecca the dermatologist. I decided not to take her to Fleming's because she is not big on steak etc... instead we went to Roy's Austin Hawaiian Fusion on 2nd Street. I picked her up in my car because I didn't plan on having lots of drinks and figured I would still be able to drive by the end of the night. I had seen pictures of her online, but most of the pictures were dark and in a crowd of people etc. When she walked out the of lobby of her condo I nearly had a heart attack at how hot she was and how well dressed she was and yeah of course she had perfect skin. She climbed in and introduced herself and we shook hands. She had some grip to her handshake so I was happy about that... I hate girls who have dead fish handshakes. The smell of her perfume was very strong but very nice. I had a hard time focusing on what she was saying because I was very excited and very nervous. She is probably the hottest girl I have ever been out with in my life... and she is smart and whitty and intelligent. She noticed Felix's dog leash and mentioned that she herself has a Maltese and that the 4 of us should go for a walk sometime.

We arrive at Roy's, park, go inside, get a nice table, sit down and order drinks. I ordered a light beer because I was driving and she ordered a glass of Chardonnay from Australia. She said she was 36 but she looked older, and not in a bad way. She just looked very womanly with long brown hair, obviously straightened. She said she was half Irish and half American but she never spent any time in Ireland and she didn't have an accent. The waiter brought us the menus and I really had no idea what to order, so I told her, just order some things and we will split it all. Again, I had a hard time of focusing on doing anything because I was fixated by her presence. I was thinking to myself at some point, there is no way you are going to get anywhere with this girl if you keep exuding this energy. You need to chill out and act as if she is nothing special, otherwise she will smell my desperation and realize how enamored I am by her.

I still have no idea what I ate... the only thing I remember was some of it was fruity and some of it was spicy and there was some kind of meat in there lol. She was talking about her various accomplishments etc and I was starting again to feel overwhelmed so I ordered a Black Russian to calm my nerves. This triggered something in her because she said lets get some shots! I was like wow shots ok... that was out of left field, perhaps I incorrectly judged this girl, maybe she isn't as responsible, and classy as I think. She was so good looking though, I decided to ignore my instincts and go with the flow. 1 shot turned into 2, and 2 turned into 3. Then I switched to double black russians. SO at his point we paid the bill and decided to head over to a lounge to keep the night rolling. I had to leave my car at the restaurant because I had drank too much so we took a taxi over to QUA Bottle Lounge on West Fourth Street which is a new upscale cocktail lounge.

We had some more drinks there and she was getting very flirty and was touching my hands a lot. I was really happy and excited but I was too bombed out of my mind to enjoy it. Eventually we left there and took a taxi back to her place. On the way there, I was all excited like a schoolgirl at the prospect of spending the night with this girl. We got about 3 blocks from her house when all of a sudden I got a sudden rush of heat and felt like I was gonna hurl. I told the taxi driver to pull over and I opened the door and spewed chunks everywhere. When I was done, I was sweating, and dizzy... I told her we better just call it a night and just gave me a kiss on the cheek and left. I'm pretty sure I ruined things and she won't be talking to me again.
