The Giant

It's been a bit since my last post & some of you probably thought I fell off the face of the earth.  I went on a short trip to visit an old flame, but now I am back on the dating scene again.  Today I went on a very interesting date with The Giant.  The Giant is 6'5"....yes I wrote that correctly.  He is 6 feet 5 inches tall.  Automatically---I'm interested!  (I now apologize to all of my tall friends who have a hard time finding guys that are taller than them.)  The Giant is very different from most of the guys I have been out with.  For one, he wouldn't give me his phone number.  He said that he doesn't give out his number to people he hasn't met.  I'm thinking he's been cat fished before.  Also, he only wanted to "get coffee or ice cream."  He clearly did not want to pay for an entire meal.  I get it, why waste time on a meal if you can tell right off the bat that this person isn't going to work out.  Trust me, I've been on several dates (as you well know) that could've ended in the first 5 minutes.   I think it's an interesting move though.  He didn't want to meet up for drinks some night, no, we met up for ice cream in the afternoon.  

The Giant was initially going to be one of my 5 dates of Spring Break.  It took this long to actually meet up!  We haven't been e-mailing all of that time, but still!  His excuse for not meeting during Spring Break was that he was going to be out of town for a few weeks & it "wasn't fair" to me for him to be gone that long.  Uh, OK.  A couple of weeks ago The Giant is back on the prowl & hits me up.  Again he asks me out for "coffee or ice cream" & I accept.  I mean hey, I need to get out of this slump!  The Giant's pictures are all pretty far away & involve him out in nature.  If you know me at all, nature & I are not friends.  I wasn't too excited about this date, but I was ready to hop back on the saddle.  

The Giant made it to the ice cream shop before I did.  He stood up as I was walking in & whoa, this dude is tall!  And even more exciting, CUTE!  We got our ice cream & started to chat about the normal things.  He told me his name, but now I've forgotten it, because I was so taken away by his height!  (This could get awkward down the road.)  We talk about vacations & jobs (I don't really understand what he does). He is really into "camping" in KOA cabins.  He also LOVES to take road trips.  I can't stand either one of these things.   Another different thing about The Giant is that he maintains continuous eye contact.  This really annoys me, but he's so cute & smells so good, I don't even care.  Since I'm going on vacation next week, we agree to e-mail when I get back.  Yes, that's right, I don't know his name & I don't have his number.  So odd----yes, but I'm willing to maybe have an actual meal with the cute Giant.  Time of death: The minute I step foot in the wilderness with him
