dating .... day 10

I really don't have much to say about Meetic. I have only been to check the flashes I get over the last few days, and there have not been that many of those. I guess novelty works well there and mine has worn off, oh well.

Meetic Affinity, which is the high-brow version, seems to be a better option but it is really expensive (120 euros for three months) and my anglo-saxon comment still applies, so I'm not investing in that.

In any case, I'm even more excited about CL guy. Can anybody help me come up with a better moniker for him, by the way?
We went out last night; we arranged to meet up at 7:45 p.m. and I was responsible for the evening's plans. I'm such a novice at this dating thing, which is normal since I have never really done it before. I forget that you have to consider every little detail to make sure that it is not misinterpreted. When planning it, I wanted to go to a chic bar in the Grand Palais, followed by a walk to a little-known garden. But upon reflection, and the good advice of my faithful readers, I chose something a little more low-key and a lot more me; not that I don't like a good cocktail, but those chic places still scare me and it was a bit too romantic.
As he thinks I'm a bit of a stalker as it is, I went the pub / walk route and we met at a little pub that I love and which is filled with the friendliest people in Paris and yes, they are Parisians and not just Anglos. We both gave ourselves 'outs', i.e. "It has been a long week and I'm tired", but we ended up get along very well and enjoyed two pints each and a bit of a meander.

So, we will see where it goes and don't worry, I'll keep you posted! And yes, I'm learning how to let them languish.
