My next and final date was with Shy Girl. My last date (the date I was looking forward to the most)with Cloe had been canceled. Shy Girl and I went to the Rocking Horse Cafe --far away from Henriettas. ( I really didn't want to talk to Stalker girl, again. She had called me at least three times today. )
Shy girl and I had a few things in common and I really liked speaking to her over some margaritas and tacos. She seemed shy, but I also felt like she might be putting me on. The only thing was that she kept talking about her non-experiences with girls.
"I really like girls, and you know, I've been with girls you know, but I've never had a girlfriend," she explained. "I really want one someday. My best friend is a lesbian so I think it runs in the family."
Shy girl had had a boyfriend and was apparently very sick of dating men.
"There's something so different about dating a woman," she said.
"Really?" I disagreed. "It's really just the same," I said. "The only difference is that women want to communicate all the time and over analyze things, whereas men don't really listen to what you are saying half of the time."
"I guess, that's true," she said. "But don't you feel like there is more emotional attachment with women?"
"Yes, that is true," I said. "I guess that is where I was kind of going to."
I liked her train of through and the conversation flowed. She was cute and, well, kind of quirky. But at the end of the date I leaned in to give her a kiss goodnight and she shook my hand. Abruptly and embarrassed I shook her hand. "Good Night," she said and headed off toward the subway.
No kiss, I thought. That was weird. I thought it had been going well. Why did I just get a hand shake?
I called Jane who was on a date with one of the other girls from the speed dating to see what she thought. But she was otherwise occupied. Cindy, my sage for advice when it comes to all things lesbian, notified me by text that she was probably straight.
"She's probably just curious. Nothing more," Cindy said. "You have this amazing ability to attract curious straight girls. But you will find out at the party if she is or not."
Cindy and I were holding a New Years Eve party at her place and we had invited all of the women from speed dating. We figured everyone would pair up. All of them could come, including Cloe. It would definately make an interesting evening.- Ruby
