For those of you following our fearless heroine as she braves the world of online dating, take heart! Things are going great!

I let go of Decaf Kevin -- not enough of a kick.

Today was first date with Cappucino Kevin -- total cutie! He's an architecht, very nice and interesting and we had a great time at lunch. He has the most amazing blue eyes, wants to charter a sailboat to the Greek Isles, and was very nice and solicitious.

But, even more exciting, yesterday Coffee Kevin canceled on the last minute, while I was already at the restaurant. Needless to say, Coffee Kevin will probably be tossed out like used grounds. Anyway, I decided to just order lunch myself and luckily I had my book with me. Within a minute, this tall, dark, handsome stranger in flipflops comes over and we start talking about Anna Karenina (a ripping good read btw). Three hours later, we are still talking about everything under the sun. It was so...easy...

Turns out he lives on my street. So, I think the universe is looking out for me! If Coffee Kevin hadn't canceled, I would have never met Dreamboat. Who knows what will happen with him...I can't wait to find out!

In other news, I had another date last night with a Big Time Hollywood Player and, when asked by me why he was doing match, he replied, "I guess I'm just so tired of dating supermodels and I wanted to meet someone more average and normal." I almost spit out my $20 glass of merlot...and had to ask, "is that line really working for you?" LOLOL. Welcome to my world...

Yeah, I get the same thing when I date all those super hollywood actresses.....:noway:

No, Ali, remember there are 3 THREE Kevins now, can you believe it!!!! Decaf Kevin is gone, Coffee Kevin is the medium guy, and Cappaccino Kevin is the most promising!

See, I pay attention, Lightgirl who wanders. Tall Dark and Handsome was a surprise! And Hollywood Player wants a "normal" girl, not a person totally into their looks only (supermodel) who can't even eat out without throwing up later.....

Normal is GOOD! It was an offhand compliment.

GravyGurl

Yanno... I think I'll just keep an eye on how you do out there :laugh:

Seriously though, sounds like things aren't dull for you in anyway at all.... good luck. :flowerforyou:

Yay, Beep! Way to summarize! Yep, now that Decaf Kevin and Coffee Kevin are out of rotation, it's a lot simpler. Although...there are two Jeffs coming down the pipeline...

And regarding BTHP, I guess I didn't take it as a compliment. To me, it would be like saying to a guy "I'm tired of dating billionaires, I just want to go out with a loser for a while to keep it real." LOLOL.

Dreamboat Dan emailed me today -- I think we are going to try and get together again within the week.

YAY, Anna Karenina!!!!

I had to make sure on that wonderful world of google that I never trust completely -

Starbucks is one of the places that gets it right. Here’s a Starbucks drink you might order:

Venti iced americano with room

Venti means twenty in Italian, and it’s one of Starbucks’ trademarked terms for size: it means twenty ounces.

Iced you can probably figure out on your own; americano is Italian for ‘American’. A lot of places in Italy only have espresso machines, so if you want what would be considered a cup of coffee in the United States, you ask for a caffé americano, i.e. espresso mixed with hot water. (American-themed places like burger restaurants serve ‘authentic’ caffé americano and have big US-made Bunn coffee makers on display just as places in the US show off their giant Marzocco machines from Italy.)

Room means don’t fill the cup up to the top: this way there’s room for cream, half-and-half, or whatever.

If you show up and order a ‘Venti americano with room, on ice’, the Starbucks person will read the order back to you in the standard Starbucks order, every time: ‘Venti iced americano with room’, thus subtly training you to order it that way the next time.
