stunted

first date of round 2 down, and it's a bit of a yawn.

so, stunted meets me at a bar/arcade for a rousing game of tetris. i learn that starting a date off by immediately playing a video game may not be the best idea...it was too distracting! he totally messed up my tetris game by *gasp* talking to me! i think it was a competitive technique. ok, ok, lesson learned.

all of the conversation is just a little awkward - we have things in common and should have plenty to discuss, but either his nerve or general social-stuntedness is preventing the conversation from flowing. not only is he a little socially stunted...but of course he's vertically stunted. my friends give me a hard time about not wanting to date short guys (just because i'm short doesn't mean that i have to relegated to the short man world, ok?!), but even more than not wanting to date short guys, i don't want to date guys who lie about their height. 5'8" is not true when i'm eye-to-eye with you in smallish wedges.

to top it all off, he has the same name as my dad. ick. not meant to be.
