Dates are like Interviews...

Dates are like interviews, you think it went well and they don't call back for a second one...

That was the case with my Tinder Date number two. He was a Chinese guy (my first Chinese date), he also chatted with my friend (Do friends really know best? second date hook up friend.. Lets call her HY). It turns out this guy is a avid Tinder user, he even used it in Hong Kong (he was only there for a week!); perhaps it's an only child thing..

Anyways, first we went to Joey's (by Eaton Centre) for a drink, it was my first time at Joey's it's a pretty happening place! Then we walked over to a place in China Town for dumplings called Yummy Yummy (located 79 Huron St). I tried mutton for the first time.. I did not like it! I would recommend the pork and chive dumpling (they are all handmade)! I was quite excited because I have never met a guy who loves dumplings as much as I do! Then we took a cab to a lounge called Carbon. It is a beautiful lounge with classic loft feeling (located 99 Queen St E).  Great atmosphere for after work drinks and food!

He's a smart guy... Only child, went to Waterloo for CS and works for an app company that created Words with Friends and Draw Something.  Loves cars, likes to snowboard.. AND has his own place! He's very much into online dating, speed dating, and as I mentioned Tinder. Anything to meet someone new!

We had a great time at Carbon. He is a Scotch drinker, so he ordered two Scotch for me and taught me how to drink it. It was quite interesting, different parts of your tongue brings out different experience and flavour.

We walked to the subway station together. Overall I thought it was a good night, but clearly not because he didn't call for a second date....

Well on the bright side I got free alcohol (went halvsies on the dumpling).

I don't  know what it is about this pandemic, perhaps it's boredom, but I have been willing to go on more dates, even though I have gain about 20 pounds after gaining 40 initially! I figure if they can like me with my pandemic weight, they really like me for who I am.  Specs: Asian Works for a weed company in Hamilton Used to write jingles Lives in mid-town in a condo, his brother and parents live in the same building Drives a X2 He has a J name, it's actually one of my favourite names I am not sure if all women do this, but when I am excited about a date, I will eat less the night before that way I am not bloated the next day, and give myself a facial that way my face looks refreshed. During this pandemic, my skin has been going through some horrible shit, I have broken out many times due to the sun. This time the night before I gave myself a facial Dermologica Hydration mask, drank lots of water, and I worked out. I ordered a dress online from H&M that I have deemed a...

Slowly Being Ghosted??

Image
 Not too sure what happened after date 3.. He was all of a sudden a lot busier.. didn't message as much. I sort of understood where he was coming from.. He doesn't trust his trainers so I guess he has taken on more clients, considering he charges $250/hour that goes straight to his pockets. We were supposed to go on date 4 on Thursday because on Friday, I was going to Chicago.... but he had messaged Thursday afternoon to tell me he's not in a condition to meet up and have a conversation.. and slowly.. the messages are far and in between... sus? We were still chatting here and there, since I lost bowling, I owed him a facial. I didn't want to take him to a $200 facial that I've been wanting to try and I didn't want to take him to a facial place where I didn't know their standards. So, I asked him if he wanted to go to a facial or see Tina Turner musical. He said definitely the musical. I went a head a purchased the tickets for $300 (both). But because of his ...

The date that I recently went on. Specs: 42 We actually went to the same middle school and high school YouTube content creator - Toronto & Travel content Smart/Intelligent Lives at Yonge and Eg No car Broke up with this girlfriend 6 months ago Father passed First it had annoyed me that he wanted me to pick the time and the place. The first, first date we were supposed to go on he cancelled because his friend was moving to NY and they were throwing a going away party. That was fine, I ended up flying out to Vancouver for the weekend. When we picked a new date, again, I had to pick a time and place.

I also wanted Hodo Kwaja (Walnut Cake) and I needed to pick up new face lotion, so it was ...
