The restaurant was called "Japanese Jane." (Actually the IRL alliterative equivalent, but you catch my drift.) He suggested it via text, and I thought it was funny.
Ted Mosbey's e-mails had been humorous and a little frantic -- he jumped around from topic to topic pretty quickly and asked a ton of questions. I was ready for a talker -- I expected his personality to be larger than life, loud and verbose. He was so different in person. It's not that he wasn't funny -- he had a great sense of humor and laughed easily, but he was much more quiet and guarded than I'd anticipated. I think he was nervous. It was a much more serious date than the others.. I didn't feel silly telling him how I felt about the sky in the great plains (a place we've both lived), or analyzing the effects of foreshadowing on potential plot developments in Game of Thrones. Besides being interested in some of the same things, we're both wanderers. He's been to 49/50 states, and has lived a bunch of different places since graduating college. It was a good date. So that's three really solid first dates. Lots of potential. Also, lots of texting. Which is great, right? That was the whole point. But I want to make sure I'm being honest and fair to all three of these guys. Thus far all three are lovely, and deserve at least that.
