AWESOME Date number 3!!!

Lovelies! The Straight Cute Banker is winning every round of the dating game! At the end of our date last Saturday night he asked when I was free again and I suggested Wednesday night. He asked if he could see me then and of course I accepted!

So, I'd mentioned in passing that I enjoyed opera - lovelies, he sent me the sweetest e-mail on Wednesday afternoon saying how he tried to get tickets for Tosca, but they were all sold out and he kindly suggested we go see an off Broadway play... Well, I was running errands around mid-town at 3:30 and decided to swing by the theatre where Memphis is playing. (I've wanted to see this musical for a while and it's got some great word of mouth!) So they had Student Rush tickets left -- I got 2 tickets in the first row for 25 bucks each! I promptly texted Straight Cute Banker who was super excited and then suggested that we go to Sardi's for dinner before hand!

Oh, lovelies - ever since I saw the Muppets Take Manhattan I've wanted to eat dinner at Sardi's (I've had appetizers there, but not a real dinner!) And I did! Straight cute banker and I had some delightful conversation & tasty eats - we also have the same pallet for food! Very curious - both of us wanted the same things! And so we ordered and had little tastes of each others dishes! And he got a lovely bottle of wine for us to share - and always asked me first "What are you in the mood for Miss Musical?".

And then we saw the show - ohmygod! This is the BEST musical I've seen in a long time! The dancing/ set/ costumes were great enough, but the winner of the show is the phenomenal book and music! I was totally into it! :) And it made me cry, laugh, clap and jump out of my chair at the end! Just wonderful stuff - go see it! NOW!

After the show we went to grab dessert at my favorite place to eat Etc. Etc. I just love this little restaurant on 44th between 8th and 9th Ave! Brilliant desserts, great food and awesome service. More lovely conversation and Straight Cute Banker asked when I was free next - I said Sunday after 4pm. We're going out again then.

I can't tell you how happy it makes me that he always asks for the next date at the end of the previous date! And he's so open and sweet... I think he may be a keeper! :)

THEN we did a 2 stop cab ride home - his first and then mine -- and he paid for it! (Clappity-clap-clap!) And reimbursed me for the tickets! What a kind and appreciated gesture!

Enjoyable 3rd date?? Oh yes! Bring on date #4!!!!

Surprise Date # 3!

Lovelies, the Tennis Pro and I did end up having date number three before he left for his vacay this weekend! Hooray!

My boss told me on Friday that I was going back to the city that night! (I thought I was due to stay in the Hamptons all weekend, but turns out she didn't need me!) Hooray! I promptly called the Tennis Pro and told him that I would be back in the city if he'd like to grab a late bite to eat!

He e-mailed me back quickly and said that'd be great! Now - my favorite part - I texted him the name of a little bistro by the Jitney drop-off I go to in the city on the UES and his reply back was: I'll be there!

Love that, lovelies. And he's very attentive and fun to be around! It's so nice to think that someone is interested in me and cares enough to meet me for a late bite to eat, even though he had to leave at 6am the next morning for his flight!

AND lovelies, he gave me a nice solid peck at the end of the evening - but he's so quick! I hardly get a chance to show him my skills and he's already pulled back. Uugh. I don't know if he's trying to be respectful or if he's not that attracted to me or what... I just want to make out with the dude! Is that so much to ask!?! Le Sigh...

Winner. He wins. (and now I retreat to the Hamptons again, for another week of sun, childcare and great food - compliments of Lady & Master of the House!)
