Did you read about Two-Step?  He’s here.

We met hella early this morning for breakfast at Sorry Babushka on Commercial Drive (formerly Me and Julio; moved to new ownership in April).  They’ve got an amazing $2.99 breakfast; watch out Bon’s Off Broadway, you’ve got competition!  The ambiance was equal parts chill and quirky and the service was great.

As I shared before, Two-Step and I met on eHarmony, and then moved into a Textual Relationship.  As we discussed our options via text, Sorry Babushka came into play.  Two-Step did his research (nice) and let me know about the $2.99 breakfast.  I replied cleverly “Then breakfast is on me.  You can take the second date.”  He lol’d.

Fast forward to this morning.  Two-Step boldly asked me to pay for both my $2.99 breakfast AND his eggs benny.  I’m all for equality but I was getting used to this gentleman pays for the first date thing.  However, he did say he would cover the second date: dinner or something.  Meh, I’m happy.

It was actually a really pleasant morning.  Two-Step is incredibly cultured, good-hearted and educated.  He has ambition, a love of family and a sense of humor.  Conversation was warm and comfortable, and flirtation/banter intermittent.  It was nice.  BUT, we made some discoveries in people in common [KABOOM, worlds collide].  A little scary when you think you’re meeting someone independent of your real life.  Not that I’m any different dating, but you know, it’s weird.

Note: Just checked, we have 11 mutual Facebook friends.

So folks, I sat there at breakfast with a smile on my face.  Some of the guys I’ve dated have been questionable through this journey.  But with Two-Step I thought to myself: “Self, yes this is the kind of guy I might work with.”

Even if he is a tad short.

Pending second date.

He is so paying.
