Things went pretty well last night. She was 20 minutes late as it was cold as fuck and instead of walking from her place (9 blocks or so), she drove to a parkade closer to where we were meeting that she could walk through pedways etc. She called at 7 and said she"d be a few minutes late, I didn"t much care as I was watching hockey and flirting with the waitress (she seemed to pick up on that when she arrived, as she made a couple comments about the waitress being weird or "different", when she was simply just being friendly). Conversation flowed really well, she"s obviously intelligent and can keep up her end of the deal in that respect.
I found out a lot more about her background, she certainly wasn"t shy talking about her marriage, divorce, and her subsequent re-entry in to the dating pool. She married at 21 to a guy 10 years older than her, and apparently after they were married the guy was totally "asexual." She claimed it was to the point where they had sex a couple times a year. When I asked why she stuck around, she said that she "really believes in marriage" and that you should work at it, which I actually agree with. She didn"t mean that you HAVE to get married, but that if you do you shouldn"t just cut and run if things aren"t perfect. Fair enough.
She found out the guy was cheating on her as the mistress left a love note tucked in to their bed. That was the final nail, but she"d suspected shit for awhile. They tried counselling for a month, the guy denied it claiming they were just friends, but apparently told Charlene he was going to go on a trip with her, at which point she got out.
There was the usual physical flirting, as well as talk of sex etc., she again wasn"t shy about admitting she"d been on a bit of a tear since her divorce. She laughingly said she"d never had a one night stand, because every time she"s tried the guy ends up calling her and she ends up dating him for a few months accidentally. It seemed like that was a reference to whoever she was involved with currently. She didn"t particularly mention anyone, however she had been texting a bit through the evening, and I snuck a bit of a look here and there and a couple were definitely back and forth with the guy, who"s name I saw as well. I only saw a couple snippets, one from him saying something about "I"m not expecting an answer..." and one she was typing saying that "it"s not that I"m mad..."
At one point she was talking about how she thought my brother and I were quite different (I don"t agree really, I think we"re damn near the same person personality wise), and when I asked how so she said that I was much more outgoing than him. I commented that my brother could be very outgoing and talkative outside of work, that he was kind of two different people. She disagreed, and said that she"d never see him asking her out after just meeting at a wedding as I did, and said that it was "ballsy" that I did. I laughed and said I didn"t think it was ballsy, all I did was send an email, and the conversation moved on. Later she mentioned that we"d actually met a couple years before at my bro"s place, to my surprise. I said I had no recollection of even the particular party she was talking about nor her, she said it wasn"t surprising since I was apparently pretty involved in an intense foosball game.
Walking back to her car after we were chatting about Betty, since I guess Betty does some modelling on the side and there were huge banners with her face on them in the mall we were walking through (turns out she has daughters, not sons, 18 and 16, who both work at the trendy restobar that Chuck does, meaning they"re smoking hot as well), and I inquired as to why the two of them flew solo to the wedding. Right away she said she was in "no position" with any guy to bring them to a wedding. So looks like the other guy isn"t much competition, at least at first blush.
So I walked her back to her car, and she gave me a lift back to my place since it was in the opposite direction. We both said we had a lot of fun, I said we"d have to do it again sometime, she said that I had her info, I gave her a quick peck on the lips, wished her luck with her encounter with the rabid hippies today, and that was that. Good times, I hope it goes somewhere. I wasn"t so sure about her personality, but one on one she was a lot of fun, I think she was just a bit overshadowed at the wedding by the very outgoing Betty.
