carhill Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Have we lost any LS'ers yet? Not in the 14 months I've been here, at least not that I know of. She'll be fine. Anyone who spends much time in NYC is pretty savvy. The women have eyes in the back of their heads and their pumps are deadly weapons. There's a bunch of sushi joints in the East Village. I need to get on a plane.
carhill Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 ...which means the night has just begun. I wouldn't wait up. Exactly. We're usually in the theater until 10:30 or 11 and then start walking around looking for a place to eat and drink
Author xpaperxcutx Posted April 27, 2009 Author Posted April 27, 2009 Okay so I know you all would like to know what happened to me and artist guy. Honestly, I'm too giddy to type. You can tell by my tone that I am extremely happy that I have met him, and I can tell you we had one hell of night. For all the misunderstanding that occurred over meeting at the park, we actually decided to meet at St Marks ( its in the East Village) because I actually got out to Manhattan pretty late and it was already 8:30 by the time I actually met him face to face. Yes, he was gorgeous, dress up in casual jeans and tshirt. He gave me a hug when we met and we hit a Thai Food joint near there. By the time we had sat down, I had already noticed I had spoken more than 1000 words about myself, and he had assumed I was nervous because my legs wouldn't stop shaking. I was really clumsy as well, I forgot to put on deodorant (silly me!) and I had to rush into the bathroom just to compensate with perfume I had brought with me for emergencies. I forgot how awkward it was at dinner tables. I sat under a dim light while he sat across from him, and I found my eyes wandering to other places because I was so self conscious of my makeup. However he really cheered me when he told me that he was patient to listen to me while I blabbered on and on, and he made me laugh and giggle so much, I felt so blissful. We went for ice cream afterwards, followed by a trip back to his apartment for wine. He lived alone, but he was a gentlemen the entire time, and didn't even make a pass at me. We went up to the roof where we had the view of the New York Skyline right in front of us ( can I be anymore jealous) and we sipped our wine while we counted the stars and tried to figure out what each cloud looked like ( one of them actually looked like a horse). Now this was the part where all the flirting started voluntarily. We had downed our wine and headed back to his apartment, having cooled by the AC, we found ourselves listening to techno music and lounging on his couch, making little conversations; all the while I felt and acted drowsy, with him staring at me like he wanted to kiss me. On the other hand, I was also being very playful, talking about hippies and sexual adventures, I'd been through, and him just smiling, and making little comments. He asked me to try out his bed, which I was more than happy to do so, and we laid there snuggling and talking about silly little things, that had seemed so important. Yes, he made the first move. We had looked at each other playfully and he took my chin, and just kissed me. I didn't really return his kiss, but then I got into the mood and I kissed him back passionately, while playfully roaming his mouth with my tongue. No, we did not have sex, if that was what you all are starting to assume. While I really wouldn't mind just letting him take me then and there, he didn't force the issue and I ended up spending the night sleeping at his place. Now the thing that really jinxed me was that I noticed I was having my period last night, and I made an effort to hide the fact from him ( since it was a first meeting and all) so sex was really out of the question. The second one was, this morning we planned to get get groceries for breakfast, but while walking down the stairs, I fell down, and I ended seriously bruising my forehead and my legs. He was really caring though, and he took care of me while suggesting I head to the hospital to get stitches. I would have really liked to have made breakfast for him, but I had to end everything and come back home to see the docter. HE walked to me the station and we had a hug before I left. He really left an impression me, but I think my impression on him was a clumsy little girl. So right now, I'm just waiting to get an appointment and hopefully he'll give me a call in the next few days or so, so that we can actually have a more productive date. Ow my head hurts.
likestolaugh Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 lol, that sounds like the perfect date to me! I haven't read the thread... this guy is an artist? I'm an artist and I like girls that can show personality, and actually... clumsiness can be charming and cute in a girl (as opposed to a clumsy guy)
carhill Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Well, that's one you can tell your grandchildren about Thanks for the update and glad you had a great time, even with the damage. BTW, on a more serious note, get your head looked at. Remember what happened to Natasha Richardson.
likestolaugh Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 very true ^ I should clarify that I don't consider the woman being injured as part of a perfect date lol... it was just your context I guess. Man I really can't explain myself this morning...
Trialbyfire Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I'm glad you're safe and sound and also, had fun, pain and bodily harm aside. I'm also glad you didn't meet in the park but I do have to express concern about going to a stranger's home, right out the gate. While you made the right character judgement call this time, it could have ended in something horrific. Plse, plse be careful!
carhill Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I'll echo TBF's cautions, especially in a big city and with someone you don't know well. Personally, I'd stay away from the guy's bedroom until you're ready for sexual relations. Nothing wrong with a nice sofa to cuddle up on

He had a studio and he showed all his watercolor canvases, which were actually very stunning and gorgeous, and I can't ever really turn down a guy who can work his brush... lol... In all honesty, he really was a gentlemen not once did he gave me the impression that he was only trying to get into my pants. Which was really a good thing, because I had wanted to get into his.
Author xpaperxcutx Posted April 27, 2009 Author Posted April 27, 2009 I don't know, the guy still sounds pretty dense. :rolleyes:
Jaytb Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I don't know, the guy still sounds pretty dense. I second that. Well gee, who would've thought, a woman giving a man another chance can turn out to be positive. I could've sworn five minutes ago you were going to boil him in oil or something

Which was really a good thing, because I had wanted to get into his.A mutual consenting sexual encounter is the least of my worries. Rape, physical assault, robbery or worse, are what I'm concerned about, since you don't know of anyone who can vouch for him and have no way to confirm, as such. While there are no guaranteed methods of sourcing people out, any reduction of risk is worthwhile. Okay, I'm done with my motherly nagging and concern. I'm glad you had fun!

As long as he brings her to his East Village loft and feeds her chardonnay, and stays in the closet, it'll be a storybook fable!

Haha TBF you're like a sister to me, you always give the best advices. I under the necessity to be cautious since it is the city after all, but he really made me felt safe. I don't think I've ever been so comfortable with anyone. And don't worry you can always nag when he calls me for a second date. I'll write down all the juicy details.

You should be happy for me just as I would if you were able to bag a hottie on a scale of 7/10.
carhill Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 One date is one date. Glad it was a good one. Wishing you many more

BTW, on a more serious note, get your head looked at. Remember what happened to Natasha Richardson. Thanks for your concern CarH. I just got back from the doctor and he said my injuries weren't that serious. If I took extra care of my legs, there probably wouldn't be any scars. As for my head, I currently don't have insurance right now, so the CT scan would only be necessary if I were to suffer any headaches. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be okay.
Author xpaperxcutx Posted April 27, 2009 Author Posted April 27, 2009 One date is one date. Glad it was a good one. Wishing you many more Haha me too. I'm like those little children who want more than one ice cream cone if given the chance.
carhill Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Good to hear, but sure to watch for any innocuous changes, like vision issues, ringing in your ears, balance issues, etc. Any change from your usual condition. My mom's brain hemorrhage took place over a month's time and from something is innocuous as excessively high blood pressure during recovery from anesthesia. Sometimes thing happen fast and sometimes slow. She developed some minor symptoms prior that we dissmissed but didn't have "the headache" until shortly before collapsing. You're young and likely no worries, but I don't take anything for granted anymore. Life is too short Now, I'm thinking your guy should be checking up on you. I know I would be...
