Darth Vader: Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke Skywalker: He told me enough... he told me you killed him.
Darth Vader: No, I am your father.
"Surprise, you're adopted," would have worked better.

So there I was... wait, I don't know where I'm going with that, but hi! Hope each and every one of you is doing fantastic. So, due to extenuating circumstances, my date has been pushed back to Thursday. Booo, I don't want to have to wait that long! Bummer, but worth it. I am waiting to watch the newest episode of Dexter so that I can see it with her. I know, crazy. I never wait! Haha, so anyway. Let's get down to business. You Laugh, You Lose! For those of you that are new kids on the block, this is how we play. I show you a few pictures, and if at any point you laugh, you lose. When you lose you have to "like" us on Facebook. Let's do it! (That's what she said cc: @JenFriel)
Gosh, you are a bunch of losers! I mean... that you obviously lost... not that you're... nevermind. Just like us on Facebook. We're awesome!

Ok, so I might be a few days late, but I've just had so much other stuff going on! Beer pong last night with @Coordin8dDrunk and @JenFriel would be one of the many things done. I know, so important, but anyway. Yes! So, the other day I went on a short preliminary date with this totally awesome girl. We met for 45 min, had some extremely deep and intellectual conversation, and decided that we wanted to see each other again later that night.
So, we meet at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on Westwood and Ohio, (no Foursquare checking. I know, for shame. I was too nervous :x) sat down with some coffee, and continued our conversations. We met at 9:45PM with me fully aware that I had to be at work at 7:00AM the following morning. Now, I am such a baby when it comes to my sleep. I love love love to sleep and almost always try to get my full 8 hours. So, I was already giving up my sleep just meeting her again, but worth it!
So, we walked for a solid couple of miles before we found a place to sit, talking the whole while. It's been so long since I felt such a real connection. I totally feel like a 16 year old, sitting by my phone waiting to hear from her. I have the butterflies and everything. I do believe the plan is to get together again on Tuesday and truthfully the time really can't come any faster. Crazy shit. I will be sure to keep all your nerdy folks updated!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Sometimes the obvious isn't quite obvious enough.
Ahhhh, oh my goodness. I just got back home from my preliminary OkCupid date. What's a preliminary date? Why, let me explain.
First of all, let me just say that I messaged this chicka on a whim. I don't log onto my OkCupid account much these days. I happened to log on the other day and browse some profiles. I can't even remember where I saw her profile, but I do believe it was in the "You might like..." column. I saw that she was online and we ended up talking for a few hours via OKC messenger and ended with exchanging phone numbers.
After some text messaging, we decided to meet up for a short "preliminary" date to see if we even liked each other. We sat and talked outside of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for a little under an hour. It felt really good! It's very rare for me to find a girl who I can just sit down and talk to. I have a very cluttered brain which goes a mile a minute, but I'm also a smart dude. A girl has to have brains and beauty. We talked about some really deep things including the story surrounding me finding out I was adopted (which I will post on in the near future). She is definitely a smart cookie (and has the looks to boot) and we are totally going out later tonight! So stoked!
Moral of the story, is if you are going to do online dating, a "preliminary" date is a must! Meet up for a coffee or something that doesn't take a lot of time. If you don't connect, then there is no pressure to spend a lot of time with the person seeing as it was already clear that this was just a short meeting. If you two have a great connection, then you will see each other again! Truuuuust me, you rather leave a first date wanting more than having had too much.
