Despite my hesitations about continuing to see the Barrister for petty shallow reasons, I spent the day with him. Dating here is completely different than at home and not just because of the venue change. The Barrister, also fairly new to London, took me sightseeing. We visited the Tower of London and walked on top of Tower Bridge, both things I have been wanting to do but refuse to pay for. Luckily for me, he didn't refuse to pay for both of us. We stopped along the Thames to get ice cream, it was actually warm enough to eat ice cream. I felt like I just stepped into a Romantic Comedy...I wanted to laugh and make fun of the situation but I resisted only because he seemed so genuine about the thing. He must have googled dating/wooing and took notes.
After hours of walking around, we headed to shop and pick me up some stuff I needed (towels/dishes). I mentioned earlier that he should watch I Love You Man, so while we were out he bought it to watch that night. We went back to his place, cuddled on the couch, where I got to watch TV for the first time since I left. God I missed TV! He left me laying on the couch, poured me a glass of wine, and made me dinner. I am getting pretty spoiled here, between the Barrister and Lawrence feeding me, I am starting to get back to my chubby bunny state. The Barrister did pretty well in the kitchen, it doesn't take much to impress me when it comes to food, but I absolutely love people cooking for me! I could really get used to being treated this way, it's a nice break from how dating was in Philly....granted I dated morons but still.
I declined to stay the night since I have to be up early to go on a trip to Cambridge but he made it clear that he couldn't wait to see me again. There are no questions, no deciphering hidden messages, and no mixed signals with the guy, he's a smitten kitten.....
As he walked me back to the tube, he mentioned Valentine's Day. The thought of the holiday makes me want to run....I think I am allergic to this wooing, the ice cream on the river,the cooking for me, and the telling me I'm cute in the morning. I am definately living someone else's dating life, where are the drunken hook ups and booty calls that I have come to call dating? That way is much easier.....but then again this isn't too terrible either.
