Mr. I'm Ready to take it to the Next Level

Date number 1.
So I finally decide to meet up with one of the potential dates on match.com. We meet at the grove for coffee. As I’m walking up to the grove I get a sudden flip in my stomached. I begin to panic.
"What am I doing here?"
I start looking around at all the single men walking around and start hoping none of them are him, what if he is way ugly and totally lied to me?
He calls and I answer, his voice is really calming, very normal, sounding, and he says he’s walking up right now. I see a man in front of me on a cell phone, when we hang up the man also hangs up, this must be him, “oh my god I want to leave” is all I can think right now. My legs are shaking, I'm ready to burst into a sprint when I realize he’s cute.
I take a deep breath and wave. His smile is huge; he’s probably just as freaked out as me. He hugs me and then immediately says “Wow you are gorgeous!”
Instead of "thank you" I thing "awkward" but oh well, My goal for 2010 is to introduce nice men into my taste palate.
He’s a touchy feely person. Grabs onto my shoulders as we talk and walk, tells me he likes to touch, I tell him I don’t, despite my hint he still holds on.
I don’t like it when men try to hold onto my hands when their hands are super soft or hold me around the waist when their shoulder span is smaller than mine. But he's tall and "manly" so I'm not completely turned off.
As we stroll, he tells me about the commercial he is making for his Online dating site. He is actually launching his own dating site and is convinced its better than the rest. The first time he told me I burst into laughter and told him to stop lying to me. He wasn’t amused, didn’t get why I thought that was hilarious.
Anyway, we last minute decide to go see avatar, I wonder if the movie is too weird for him, but he convinces me he doesn’t care and that he is really easy going. Great movie, but he kept poking my leg! Played the whole “I’m not touching you, I’m not touching you” game. I shouldn’t have told him about my touching issue, men can’t handle that. A thirty year old man and he can still be as immature as a 12 year old.
I giggle but in my head I think “please fucking stop”. Oh well, he’s tall, he’s tall, he’s tall.
We arrive at my car. Men always comment on my car. I have a black Audi, it instantly makes them nervous, and me way sexier. I can tell when a guy doesn’t’ have a nice car b/c they often can’t stop talking about mine. I have a few key lines to calm them, ‘it makes a weird noise when I drive” ‘It’s filthy, don’t’ look” and “I have to push the window up for it to close”.
We say good bye, he tells me he would kiss me but knows I’m not going to have it, and I thank him for the space, and say we should do something again. Then he looks at me and goes, “I like you, you got everything I want, so I’m ready to take it to the next level, you let me know if you’re interested. I’ve dated a lot longer than you, and its LA, so everyone says yeah we should do this again sometime. If you want to do something again let’s do it. Otherwise no worries” Very direct, I suddenly didn’t know. I told him to give me a few days, Holidays, great excuse for more time! On the drive home I assessed the situation. He’s cute, and fit, and tall, and smart, I’m not into the touchy, but it’s nice to have attention. He deserves a second date but what is the "next level" nonsense. I didn't know we were on a level to begin with. What if he gets too attached? Was he really that interesting of did I just like that he was tall?
Confusion strike, I text him : I think you and I want different things.

on to the next one.
Till next time,
Good luck fellow daters!
