Second date or first sober date

I went out with BMW again last night. I thought she'd never contact me again, but she did. The next morning.

We went to the same place as last time - a wine bar across the street from my apartment. It has Dominican food and she wanted to try it.

I got there on time. She got there about 30 minutes later. Not really her fault though - she drove to the city from where she lives and couldn't find parking. It was nice out and I was sitting by the window, so I was good.

While I was waiting, I started looking at the menu and realized that there wasn't a lot for me to eat.

I'm a vegetarian.

I became a vegetarian because the musician was a vegetarian.

She had this rule that she wouldn't kiss me for 2 hours if I'd eaten meat. Kind of a stupid rule, but I really liked kissing her and I didn't want to not be able to kiss her, even for 2 hours, so a vegetarian I became.

When we broke up, I didn't eat meat at first because I didn't want to disappoint her (pretty pathetic). Then I ate meat a few times just to spite her. Then I decided that I should probably make an informed decision, so I bought a book about the ethics of what we eat and watched the movie Food Inc and decided to stay a vegetarian. (It's a little more complicated than that, but you get the point...)

So I'm looking at this menu and realizing that there's really nothing I can eat other than a salad, some vegetables and maybe an empanada if they'll make it vegetarian.

BMW texted me to tell me that she was almost there. I ordered us both a glass of wine. I liked the thought of walking into a wine bar and having a glass of wine waiting for me and I figured she would too. Especially if she was driving around looking for parking for 20 or 30 minutes.

She walked in and looked much better than I remembered her looking. She's a little shorter than I like but that's really the only negative thing I can see in her physically.

I still wasn't interested in her though, but it wasn't because she's not hot.

She ultimately ordered a skirt steak that looked really good. I asked the waitress - no vegetarian empanada. Vegetables it was. Nice.

They turned out to be really good actually. She really wanted me taste her steak. It looked good, so I did. Just to spite the musician.

(kidding)

We got to know each other a little more. We both talked about our exes again (so not a good idea if you're trying to get with someone if you ask me).

She paid for dinner and the wine. I really tried to pay but she wouldn't let me. I walked her to her car. It's a cute little convertible.

She definitely gets that I'm not interested. My guess though is that she may think that we'll become friends and maybe more later.

I actually met someone over the weekend that has potential though. Maybe. She's a voiceover artist.

She's a little on the crazy side but in a harmless spiritual way. Not sure if I'll stay interested as I get to know her though.

I'm pretty picky.
