I haven't yet mentioned Best Buy. Mom had me tag along with her to Best Buy while she tried to get a copy of her washer warranty. Well the woman behind the help desk was polite but totally uninformed and called over some guy to look up our info. As he came toward us my first impression was Geek Squad. He was incredibly helpful and sweet to my Mom ,which is what first got my attention. Then as I asked him many washing machine techy q's I noticed that behind his dark framed glasses were a nice pair of dark eyes, to match his dark hair, and soon after noticed his plump lips. A good pair of lips totally does it for me. We talked for quite a while about compys and other nonsense before I found out he was also an actor, like myself. We talked far longer than is necessary when discussing washing machine warrantys and I thought about slipping him my number but wasn't sure how to work it in.
A couple weeks later while having dinner with one of my best guy pals the convo turned to dating. We discovered we both had crushes on customer service workers at nearby stores. We made a bet. He'd ask out his crush at Verizon, if I'd ask out Best Buy guy. Deal. Long story short, after much procrastinating in the cd section, and speaking to my guy pal over my shoulder so Best Buy wouldn't think guy pal was my boyfriend, I got up the nerve to approach him. I not so subtly asked him out. He said he was thinking the same thing and we exchanged numbers.
We've had one date so far and I was more impressed with him than I thought I'd be. He looked much cooler in his regular clothes, he was social with my friends and even comfortable with the fact that my obvious ex was present. Not to mention he knew everyone in the place. Seriously...between my invited friends, the showing up of my unexpected creepy not invited friends, his old high-school buddies, and his fellow Greekers (he's 100% hardcore Greek and proud) our first date was like a freakin reunion. Best part of the night was when he took me by the hand and asked me to "Come meet some Greeks!" It was very sweet.
We eneded the night with a great hug, and the promise to do this again sometime, without the crowd! I have yet to see him again but blame it more on the fact that we live a state apart, as we are in constant contact. I look forward to seeing him again. I am aware however that at date number 1 things usually still feel good. Can I get a 1 year warranty with this?
