Pocahontas...I mean Rachel
So today, I spontaneously asked out Rachel, the girl from Oasis. I think I only got her number a few days ago. But in my experience, asking spontaneously works better than asking in advance. It's almost as if it indicates no planning, and no planning means no pressure.
After a bit of texting, we agreed to meet ay 6ish. So I went home to change. During lunch I had gone to Zara to buy myself an outfit. The main purpose of it was to wear it next time I went to the library, in case I bumped into Victoria there. But I was also planning to wear it to Eva's house warming tomorrow just as a 'warm up' Now, I had a third chance to wear it as a demonstration in meeting Rachel.
The outfit looked like, and was inspired by this scene (minus the jacket):
I gotta admit, I got pretty damn close to it, if not the exact same thing. I was lucky too - everything I grabbed on the first go were a perfect fit. Total cost was $190.
I drove out to the city to meet her, and after a bit of confusion, found her at the QVB statue watching a guy playing a guitar. We seemed to get off to a good start, with me joking about how when I called earlier at the steps, there was a guy on the phone waving to me and how it seemed like that was her lol.
She said she wasn't really into Asian food, so I suggested Spanish and we started walking down the main street. Found out she goes to Syd U. She said her class finished at 3pm, and she was at the gym earlier. She said she used to go five days a week and would spend 2-3 hours there.
We got a lot of talking done during the walk, which in a perfect world would've been conversation over the dinner, but hey, guess nothing is perfect. I managed to find the place, which was where I had gone with some people from my old office. I knew girls loved it. We had to wait a bit, and even then, the waiter said we had to finish by 8:10pm (it was 7:30pm).
The only thing that annoyed me slightly was when I asked her at the QVB statue whether there was anything she didn't eat, she said no, but now she said she was a vegetarian. I was cool with that, so we ordered a large vegetarian pizza and the famous potatoes. Turned out to be good choices as she liked both.
Conversation was really good. We talked about our work (she's a podiatrist) and she was really interested in 'worst' cases I hadso I told her about the eyeball pulling one, ghosts, and reincarnation. On the last topic, she seemed to have watched or read a bit about it, as she seemed to know a few of the stories I told her about.
I paid for the dinner even though she insisted in splitting the bill, then I walked her to Central station. We talked about horrow movies, and she said she couldn't handle them even though she watches Dexter. I joked with her that Godzilla was a romantic comedy that was released yesterday, and showed her this on my phone:
I got a good vibe from her, but not 100% sure if she was interested or just being polite. We parted at the entrance to the station, and then I drove home.
