Bill from Philly

I started talking to Bill on one of those internet portals where homosexuals gather. We eventually moved from the site's message system to IM where we spent most of the morning talking about the basic things. Work, pets, places of origin, etc.

Found out we both have dogs, we both seem to be feeling the same about the homosexual community. It seems like he shares a lot of the things I like and dislike, which also seems to mean that he suffers from some the same social issues I do, like being shy and not talking to strangers, but over the internet we were able to tear down that barrier.

We talked about meeting of course, and tentatively scheduled a date for Friday night after 9. We agreed to meet at a non-homosexual place, and since it was after 9, we were left with very few options and decided on Denny's. I wouldn't want others to think that my pretend homosexualism was getting to me if we were to meet at Mo's (a place we both agreed is not our favorite, so that got him some points).

After getting home from the gym, I had a text from him letting me know he was feeling a little tired and would rather move the date to another day, but asked me to call him later to chat before going to bed. A phone date? Hmm, haven't had many of those, so it was a good experiment.

Post analysis:

After eating dinner, I gave him a call. He promised me he didn't have a lisp, he didn't lie. He has a nice voice and we were able to talk for about 2 hours about many things. There was no awkward moment of silence and time flew by until we realized we had been on the phone for a long time. I was able to keep asking the right questions to keep the conversation going, we stayed on non-sexual topics and had constructive discussions.

So date 1 I would say was a good one. Since it was a phone date it will be harder to judge the interaction, but it still deserves a grade of it's own.

Homework Grade:
Jorge: 90%
Paul: B
