I had placed an ad on a personal dating site in hopes of finding someone compatible to spend time with. I'd wasted enough time at bars and speed dating to know there had to be a better way to find a mate. I received an email from Frank who thought my profile was interesting and wanted to meet to see if we had anything in common. I peeped his profile and saw that we had a few things in common and made plans to meet him for coffee. We met for coffee, it was a short date but a memorable one, it wasn't enough time to know all there is to know about a person on a first date, but it gave us enough time to see if a second date was possible. I have a rule of thumb for any first time meetings, always meet in a public place, if the conversation or vibe isn't going well, end it immediately and stop wasting each other's time.
We made plans to meet for dinner at one of Frank's favorite restaurants around eight that evening. It had been two weeks since our last meet so I quickly showered and changed into a formal black dress, thigh highs, and heels.
I greeted Frank with a smooch on his cheek even though I wanted more. I remained on my best behavior. I was in desperate need of some good old fashioned lovemaking, the only kind that lasted for hours on end, and I wanted it with someone who could give it to me the way I had to have it. I was very impressed with his appearance. He is so handsome, he has gorgeous blue eyes, a muscular physique, and drives a sporty convertible and wears nothing but designer Italian suits, even the cologne he wears adds the final piece to a well suited gentleman. As he walked toward me with his arms out reached. I made sure to position my body in a way that our embrace would be full frontal contact. I definitely wanted to feel his body, and at the same time wear his cologne on my skin all night. After a long embrace, we went inside the restaurant for dinner. Frank ordered a bottle of Valpolicello to compliment the meal which went very well with the red meat and wild foul. He said he loved wine from the region of Abruzzi and someday look forward to showing me his Grand Cru Wine Cellar, that evening we talked about our work, friends and family. I must say it was a very nice second date.
It was not at all like the offline dates that my girlfriend's often talk about. I have this one friend who met a guy for dinner in a public place and he was not at all what he appeared to be. She said things were going great until he offered to drive her home in return for sex but when she declined his invitation, he got irate and wanted her to pay for a portion of the bill. He said, he 'd wasted his time and money on her and got nothing in return. She gave him money for half of the bill and took a cab home making sure the cab driver circled the block a few times before stopping at her door. The cab driver was very nice and did not charge her for the extra blocks. He even walked her to the front door to make sure she was safe inside of her apartment. I knew this date was not going to be one of those disasters. After dinner, we drove out to this secluded hillside where cars park and you can get a magnificent view of the city. The conversation flowed with ease. There was a brief silence between us and it could not have come at a more perfect moment. It was during the still that he placed his arm around my shoulder and asked if he could kiss me. I said yes and waited for the kiss. His lips were soft, he kissed my lips with light strokes, no tongue, but slow pecks around the lips and a few on the tip of my nose. It was a memorable evening I will never forget. After our view of the city, Frank walked me to my car. We made plans for dinner the following night and kissed once more before saying goodnight.
On my way home, I thought about the wonderful evening I had shared with Frank and why I had not invited him to my place for a night cap. I didn't have his phone number so I couldn't call him, and I knew if I'd turned around and went back to find him, he would not be there. So many different thoughts raced through my mind as I longed for his company. But it was not to be that night as I wrestled with the sheets wishing it was his body next to mine.
