Okay, let's all go back in our time machine to this summer when this blog experiment first started. Before "Nice Guy" and I started dating, I had one more date with another guy. It was on the same day as my first date with Nice Guy, actually (scandalous!), and it wasn't much but I feel like I should report it nonetheless.
About him: This guy - I'll just go ahead and call him Awkward - was not particularly attractive on his online profile, but he did seem decently nice and smart. He's in law school and just seemed like a normal, average guy. I have a policy of accepting 95% of first date offers, so I went along with it. (My policy is just based on giving people the benefit of the doubt - you never know when first impressions are off, or when you're going to have more in common with someone than you think.)

The Story
Do you remember this story? The one about the great first date? Well, things snowballed from there to a great second date (wine! sunset! pretty view! dinner! lots of talking! intimacy!). "Nice Guy" and I really hit it off; we had instant chemistry and a good rapport.
On our third date, he got a phone call - he got his dream job in his dream city. Things ramped up from there - he asked me to go apartment hunting with him, I helped him pack, we were legitimately dating. Soon after we started being exclusive, though, we started fighting. Our high moments were super high - very open emotionally, but the low moments were mind-boggling. He was moody and not very nice about it (so much for the Nice Guy nickname).

Ready Set Go!
Are you ready to play the game? Okay, here goes...
I had a first date with a guy about three weeks ago. We met online and seemed to hit it off over a brief series of emails and instant messages. His profile was sharp and snappy, but his pictures were all from a distance or somehow obscured getting a good look at him. From what I could tell, he was attractive enough and his personality could fill in any gaps.
About him: He has a professional degree, has lived on both coasts, and is very passionate about his current career, which is kind of unique and interesting. I'm giving you the generic, anonymous version of his profile, because he really does have a distinctive background and I don't want to get too specific with someone else's bio. He lives very close to me, but doesn't go out much. I originally thought this was because of his dedication to his chosen field, but I may have been wrong...
