Mr. Fix It Date

(Orginally Posted 2/9/11)
Last night I went on a date (about time) with Mr. Fix-it from the engineering department at work. He was a complete gentleman!!!! He came, picked me up and opened his truck door for me. Opened every door for me! (BIG POINTS) He was dressed casually, so I'm glad I did too! He must have been nervous or something because from the moment he was at my door he was talking and pretty much didn't stop! Those of you who know me well enough know I can do some serious chatting, I even thought yesterday I might lose my voice, but I think I'm okay now since my voice had a rest for a night. This is not a bad thing, it was nice to not have to carry a conversation and he has a New York accent ;).
We ended up going to Gordon Biersch, which is not too far from my place. We take a seat in the bar at a booth and get a drink. We look over the menu and we both get fish, he got salmon and I get mahi mahi. He continues talking about his friends from back home, we talked about work, I asked him about his family, etc. He is really into his family and friends, which I really like! I ask him how old he was and what year did he graduate high school...he's 36!!! And he graduated in 1993!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in 3rd grade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So this is the oldest guy I ever dated, but he looks young.
After our food was done and my drink was done I started to get a little sleepy and couldn't help yawning. I know that's horrible!!!!! I hate yawning on dates. He wasn't boring me, I just had a long day!!! Plus, doing all the listening can make you tired. So, I told him we better get going since I have to work tomorrow and I'm heading out of town. We leave and he even opens his truck door for me again! When we get back to my place he dropped me off at the walkway to my townhouse (which I liked because it saved me from that awkward at the door kiss thing!) He asked if I wanted to go out again, I said yeah, I had fun! I told him thank you for dinner, I'll see you next week. He reaches around for a hug and asks for a good night kiss. I gave him a little kiss on the lips and say good night.
Single Girl Dealbreakers:
He is a talker! If I don't get some talking in on the next date I'm gonna go crazy!
He's 9 years older than me.
He is also about 5'5"!
We work at the same hotel- the girls in my department set us up and they tease, but once all the guys in his department find out it will be open court!
Single Girl DealMAKERS:
He is a gentleman, sweet and funny! Maybe good enough for a second date!
