My A-list Date

Thanks for all the great dating advice on my last post!  My date night was very pleasant:  it was very good for me to get dressed and to go out rather than spending the evening alone, doing house renovations or cuddling with my little dog.

As to my wardrobe, I wore my newest pair of slim, boot-cut, dark jeans with my favourite biker boots, a black Tee with a dark blue-grey blazer from a thrift shop.  I looked fabulous, if I do say so myself!  I'll post a pic later when I have the time and if I remember.

A -list dude looked great!  Tightish black dress pants, an open-collared dress shirt with a nice black v-necked sweater. I was consumed with the irresistible urge to run my hands up his inner thigh and to cup his bulge the whole time we sat in the theatre.

It was an unusual experience for me:  to sit beside a gay man and NOT end up unzipping his pants and going for the big prize.  I really had to restrain myself.

The date went very well!   My A-list date looked as dapper and handsome as ever and the conversation flowed.  I did offer to pay for my theatre ticket which he firmly declined.

I found the theatrical production a big difficult to follow, story-line wise, but what the heck, any live theatrical production is better than nothing.  The lead actor was a cute, slim, 20-something otter and we were treated to a shirtless scene to boot.  The lead actor had a lovely treasure trail snaking down his pasty-white, winter torso. Bonus!

Afterwards, we went out for coffee to some hipster place filled with much eye-candy.  The place was packed with handsome, hunky young men but unfortunately, most had their skanky, bare-midriffed girlfriends hanging off of them.. The coffee part of our date was very nice as well.  In the end, we parted company and went to our respective homes and I followed up the next day with a 'thank you, I had a great time' text.

At this stage in my gay journey and in my life generally, I am very confident and 'hold my own' in any situation and any conversation;  whether it is with a special needs student, a street person or someone who is wealthy and powerful. 

I never worry about those awkward moments of silence on a date, wondering what the other person might be thinking.  In the end, we all put our pants on one leg at a time.

As to whether or not he is "Mr. Right", at this stage, I would say definitely not.  A-list Dude is very different from me in his interests.  He is not an adventurous sort and hates to travel; even a simple trip to Vancouver for work is a huge ordeal for him.

A-list Dude said that he dislikes discomfort of any kind and only is interested in sleeping in his own bed.  He hates our cold weather and rarely leaves the house all winter long.

But I'd like to see him again, if only as a companion to go the theatre, movies or other local artsy events.  How do I convey that information to him?  I'd like him as a friend to occasionally do "stuff" with but not as a potential LTR?   Tricky!
