OG Date

Here is the recap from my date with Old Guy, Not sure how old he really is but I would say he is not 37 like he claims to be. It should be stated that he was not my typical type but I liked talking to him on the phone and seemed like a gentleman who could carry on a conversation about something other than basketball and cum shots. My judgements will be broken down by how many Gin and Tonics he had. My drink count for the night 1 martini, 1 glass of red wine with my steak, 1 cucumber mojito

We arrive at the Oak Room in Boston at 5pm for cocktails old people like to eat early, clue one. This is one of the best steak houses in Boston.

0-2 Gin and Tonics

He is one gin and tonic a head of me he admits. We greet sit down and order another round of drinks. I am pleasantly surprised that the conversation is going so well. I kinda like the OG although he may not be very attractive or taller than me. We talk about work and find that our industries are compatible business wise. Having fun.

3-5 Gin and Tonics

We are having dinner, conversation still good. Witty banter, check. We order calamari as an appetizer side bar, men love to order calamari as an app the last 4 times I had dinner with a guy (who ate meat) they ordered it with enthusiasm. He is making odd toasts throughout the meal. About this being my most extravagant evening for the next week, our sarcastic laid back conversation and to fine dining. I am considering this nerves. However through out the conversation he is sprinkling in things he could do for me.... like business introductions, fine dining and premo-tickets to events. I find this odd and say don't you want me to like you for you? He looks confused. But the majority of the conversation is normal and interesting with a few odd ball comments. And he does ask a lot of questions which is making the conversation flow.
6-7 Gin and Tonics

Now the comments are making me a bit uncomfortable and OG has a major buzz. We have moved on to another cocktail back in the lounge. Pretty much he is doubling my drink intake. At this point he is doing some major selling to me. I assure him that I am having a nice time and hope to see him in the following week, hoping he will back off a bit. He is also alluding to sex and kissing which I don think needs to be talked about, you either feel it or you don't. He said that he wants me to know if I wanted him to buy me something other than jewelry he would. WFT Now he is officially using sales strategies to "close" me. Leading questions and a series of small closes are his choice for the evening. At this point we are going in so many circles I feel like I am talking to drunk AT in code. He wants to hang out in another location to get to know me better, and assures me sex is off the table. Gee thanks OG let me assure you sex was never on the table. I find a way to gracefully end the night...

The big question is what do I do now? I did have a nice time until he drank too much and lost his filter. I also feel odd like he is trying to buy me although I do need business contacts. Men use women all the time, could I do the same. I may be getting ahead of myself and should just give the guy a second chance based on nerves

(Writing this blog is unable to replicate the strange inflection in his voice during his 17 closing questions, sorry)
