Does any one else find that they generally are dating two guys with the same name at the same time? I feel like this always happens to me! I dated at least three Stevens last summer, and was hanging out with two Matts at the same time in August. Anyway, this was another Jacob. Texting this weekend has been fun because it’s just been lots of Jacob-texts. It takes me a minute to figure out which Jacob is which though, because I don’t know either of their last names yet. Oops.
The date with this Jacob was really fun. He turned out not to be a psychopath (yeay)! He was shockingly normal, unlike what I’m used to from online dating. He has a lot of cool interests and really loves his job. A complete nerd, he challenged me to Scrabble, and I fully intend to win. He could comment on the local library’s layout, which is a huge turn-on for me (I’m a complete nerd too, clearly). He’s also very close to his family and showed me pictures of his cousins and siblings.
After a fair amount of witty banter and chit chat, he said he thought I was classy. I tried to warn him I wasn’t, and encouraged him not to project ideas of what he was looking for on me until he got to know me. I’m not the classiest woman. He insisted I was…
So classy.
…until ten minutes later when I admitted to leaving my iPhone at a Britney spears concert. He asked when this concert was (and clearly assumed it was in the 90s). Upon admitting it to be last summer, he stated that my classiness had dropped from a 10 to a 2. Then, I confessed to being obsessed with Ke$ha. Seeing her and LMFAO last summer was one of the best days of my life. Apparently, he likes LMFAO and said that since they were there too, I was up to a 4 in class. Pretty high I think.
At the end of the night, Jacob walked me to my car, respectfully hugged me, and asked for a second date. I stopped to ask if he was really interested in a Britney Spears and Ke$ha fan. He just said, “I’ll give you a second chance.” I like it. I also liked that he didn’t try to kiss me goodnight on the first date. Even though I kind of wanted to, it makes the build up for date two even more exciting.
His last text that night read, “Goodnight, classy lady”. Love it.
