best date ever.
andy picked me up on time in a clean vehicle and took me to Maiz, a contemporary tapas-style mexican restaurant right across the street from the california clipper. he suggested i try the beverage called "bull," a mix of rum, beer and lime. he ordered appetizers in perfect spanish (guacamole and an chicken enchilada with mole) and also took care of ordering a couple entrees to try (an earthy chicken dish and a zucchini sopa). conversation rolled along with ease throughout the hour-long dinner. he was well-mannered (opened doors, assisted me with putting my coat on, etc) and cute!
after dinner we went to a bar (i can't recall the name - located near division and western) with a great jukebox. he ordered us drinks (me: gin&tonic, him:vodka tonic) and gave me money to play songs with. we played two games of pool and afterwards enjoyed more interesting conversation. he got me home (safely) & walked me to the door, where we engaged in a nice, appropriate first date kiss.
excellent. and probably the ONLY satisfying date i've ever been on, ever (with the exception of todd, who was also gentlemanly and intelligent). hooray boys!
