A very Seinfeld date, or something like a date

Azee and I went out with Actor Chris and Dr. Paul last night. Before the big night out, Azee and I had been trying to figure out which one of them likes which one of us, to no avail. And we still don't know.

We arrived at the bar ½ hour before they were scheduled to arrive so we could get all of our talk about other boys out of the way. When they showed up, Actor Chris bought a round and then we moved from the bar to a table. We sat boy-girl-boy-girl. Actor Chris and Dr. Paul both complimented me on my girl-hula-hooping bag and how nice my hair looked down. (It had been up when they met me) Actor Chris also complimented me on my hot pink corduroys with the rhinestone detailing that I wore on a date once and was told I looked like a rock star in them.

Azee and I went outside to smoke and compare notes. She thought they both liked me. I disagreed. Azee is beautiful, and every boy that meets her falls in love with her. And she's consistently beautiful. I, on the other hand, need to make an effort to look presentable. When they first met me, I hadn't. Last night, I had. It's all about the contrast.

Actor Chris couldn't drink because Dr. Paul had put him on antibiotics and wouldn't let him. He drank Diet Coke after Diet Coke and got more and more manic with each one. And he's pretty manic to begin with. Nonetheless, about halfway through the night I found myself wondering if I might like to kiss him, but it could have been the gin.

Eventually, Azee had to go home and the boys and I went to the corner deli for some snacks. Actor Chris tried to buy Salsa Doritos, but I strongly advised him against it and he switched to Nacho Cheesier. Crisis averted. Actor Chris went home, and Dr. Paul and I decided to hop on the subway back to Manhattan. When we got into the station, he asked me if I liked Actor Chris. I said no and he scoffed at me, and then began a mini-tirade about how all the girls they meet like Actor Chris. It was a little uncomfortable. Then we started talking about domestic violence victims in the ER. We fared much better with that conversation.

Azee and I agreed that, despite the fact that neither one of us feel any strong desire to date either of them, they're fun and we'll hang out with them again and play it by ear. It's nice to have boys to hang out with again. In other boy news, I met one on Nerve and after two days of emailing about Ginsu knives, I'm convinced he's my soul mate. Hopefully more on him later.
