On our first date, after meeting online, The Robinator and I met for dinner at a restaurant I frequented regularly. I was comfortable because everyone there knew me and, if he ended up being crazy...I knew Savino and David 'nem would snatch and grab his azz with the swiftness. LOL!
I wore a suit because I left the office and headed over in a cab. Afterwards, I let him walk me to the nearest Metro and we said goodbye. We saw each other the next day and every day that he was in town after that. It was nice. I remember smiling from ear-to-ear whenever I knew I was going to see him again. He wore jeans that were tapered at the ankle (on our second date) and it made me side eye him but he was a perfect gentleman, he was smart and we laughed a lot. It was nice from the very beginning even though I felt weird because he wasn't Black. LOL!
SIP: Hey...we're just keeping it real here okay?
Have YOU ever had a first date with someone you met online? Where'd you go? Did you let them pick you up from home? Did you meet at a restaurant you were familiar with? Did you let anyone know you were going? What security precautions did you take?
