Twenty Nine

I set my age filter for 29 - 50 just in case the only mature 29-year old ends up finding me.  This 29-year old isn't it. However, I went out with Twenty Nine the day after Mr. China and I had a grand ol' time. It's good to know that the problem with Mr. China wasn't that I was burnt out on dates. There just wasn't any chemistry. Chemistry, it's such a mystery.

Twenty Nine is tall, skinny, handsome, cheerful, and nice. I met him on the aforementioned free internet dating site. Through messaging I noticed that he's very pure. It's a nicer way to say "inexperience in life". That's generally the idea I got after meeting him. We met at a small neighborhood bar. I arrived early so I bought myself a beer. He's intelligent but just isn't "seasoned" enough for my taste. It's a nice change from the bitter and angry men I've dated though. The night felt like I was chatting with my younger brother, hearing his "adventures" and giving him advice on things. I was rather reserved about my life simply because I felt this imbalance in life experience. An hour passed rather quickly and painlessly. If Twenty Nine asks me out again I think I'd like to see him again. A date with Twenty Nine is like a R&R from the dating life.

What I learned: everything one needs to know about bowling.

Second date: unknown but willing if asked.

**Update: about 4 weeks later I got this text. Apparently I had already erased his number. He asked me to go bowling with him. I just said I was busy. WTH? Oh well.
