Golf Date
On Sunday, after brunch with the family, I went on a date.
It was the first time I'd been out with Mr. Golf (no need to explain the name, right?). He's a remnant of the internet dating phenomenon (now ended for fiscal responsibility reasons), and a guy I had been casually emailing for several weeks. He meets many of my "ideal guy" criteria--he's smart, funny, financially secure, responsible, etc. And above all, he seemed like a good date. Just look at the examples he suggested for our first outing:
-- Playing golf.
-- Laser tag.
-- Visiting a vineyard.
-- A couples massage (but not in a creepy way).
After some deliberation, we went out on Sunday to play golf, braving the weather (and subsequently getting drizzled on for 8 holes and poured on for the last hole). Mr. Golf was the ultimate gentleman the whole time, and was surprisingly kind and sporting during my terrible plays, even as he managed to hit the green every time. Afterwards, we went to dinner, then parted ways.
So what's my first impression? Well, I'm pretty sure there is no chemistry (at least not on my part), but he is SUPER nice and I think we'll go out again. And I'll definitely play gold again. It's SO fun, and posh, and country-club living! I could definitely get used to door-to-door service, a golf cart, chatting about the course by the fireside afterwards, and the overall feeling of security that a golf course brings. Of course, I'll have to find a sugar daddy to pay for it all. I'm more of a "free community tennis court" sort of girl myself.
