Age: 29

I met him on the internet. We talked about where we grew up. Apparently he has a degree in Environmental Sciences and made an attempt to get into the industry. He ended up working as a mechanic and never went back. We talked about how Austin has changed over the years. He is a musician so we talked about that for awhile. He asked a lot of questions. I didn’t ask that many (I was interested but the 2 beers were kicking in. It was about that time when I started thinking about the illusive grad student. I couldn’t even think about making out with this dude). He owns his house. He has a cat (all good things).

Towards the end of the date, he shifted the discussion to online dating. I explained the difficulties of meeting people when you don’t leave the house. Apparently he doesn’t get out much either.

The date ended awkwardly with a handshake in the parking lot.

Later, I realized later that I didn’t have his number but he had mine. I never heard from him.

I stalked him on the internet later. His band wasn’t that great.
