December 1, 2007: hidoi kadzuke
I dated this one guy for three years, a real sweetie, pretty straight laced. He used to tell me all the time that he didn't know where I was coming from and that I was "…a puzzle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma" – gawd that was the worst. How could you date someone that long and not know anything? That would lead up to him asking "Well, tell me something about you." The only thing I could come up with is "I love the fall". I guess, to me that seemed to be the best answer to a question that would take hours to answer.
A friend recently gave me some dating advice. He said "When it comes to dating just be your self".
I thought it over and wondered if the best thing would be to have full disclosure up front. Present a card to a potential suitor that lists all my faults. Tell them that I've got this thing with eye snot and body odor. Tell them that I'm a little insecure and if I ask you how I look before going out for the evening the proper response would be "You look fuckable". Then a few odd bits like I collect Pez Dispensers or that you can't get me off the futon if there's a James Bond movie marathon on cable. And then finish things off by listing some good traits like I think I'm funny, I can be pretty obnoxious but, you know, in a good way, I'm caring, loyal, a good listener and generous to a fault. Or is it just best to keep this stuff all inside, tell the person very little and after you've scored a few meals and at least one movie slowly let these little facts start slipping out. I'm just not quite sure.
Back in October I managed to wrangle up some innocent little internet date. I got to the pre-determined destination early, ordered up my coffee, sat down at a table and waited. When he arrived he sat down, got all the little pleasantries out of the way he began talking and talking and talking and talking then he asked "Tell me something about your self" and before I knew it I said "I love the fall, don't you?" and just left it at that besides there was this new Japanese restaurant in Royal Oak I was dying to try out.In other words
