The Text Message King (finally) has a face and a voice again!
Ryan and I met for a casual dinner tonight at 7. As I was walking into the restaurant, he drove in past me so I waited for him in the entry of the restaurant.
The night I met him, nearly a month ago, I was wearing 3" heels and I didn't remember him being particularly tall (just taller than me). Tonight I wore flats and HOLY CRAP is he tall!!! Wooo hooo!
We hugged when he got inside and I wished him Happy New Year. He's cute!! He's got one of those great smiles that make his eyes twinkle.
We sat down and started talking and finally ordered the second time the waiter came by. The conversation flowed pretty easily and there was only one awkward silence.
After dinner, we sat and talked for awhile longer. A couple of times I got the feeling that he was ready to leave, but I wasn't sure, so I just kept talking (which won't come as a surprise to anyone who knows me). When the conversation seemed to slow down again, he asked if I was ready to go, and I said that I was. It was a brief date - only about an hour and 15 minutes.
We walked out to our cars and it got kind of awkward again. He said that I should let him know when I return from London. I reminded him of the date, hoping that he'll take the reigns and be proactive when the time comes. I went in for a hug (a kiss would have been really random, given the tone of the evening) and he kissed me on the cheek - definitely nice and unexpected.
All in all, I'd like to see him again. We'll see what happens in the next two weeks. I wish I had a better idea as to whether he is really interested in seeing me again.

Hmmm. Very interesting. Although given how long it took him to get up the nerves to actually pick up the phone instead of communicating solely by means of text messaging, I wouldn't give up hope on his interest in you, even though the date was a tad on the shorter side for a first date. I'll be curious to see if he texts (or, by the grace of god, actually picks up the phone and CALLS again) you before you leave for London. He could have also still been embarrassed by the money thing too.
