As the evening went on, I think more and more of my personality came out. He seemed shocked a few times. Like when I told him that I choose, with scrupulous detail, who I want to be friends with, and that I literally got rid of my Facebook & Myspace accounts because people from my past were finding me, who I'd lost contact with ON PURPOSE. It's true. We weren't friends back then and we aren't friends now. Anyway! He was very logical, where I am very fanciful.
Case in point: On my mission, me and one of my comps would ask each other a "deep question" every night (oh yes, Marianne, I pulled this on him)...and here is how the questions/answers went:
The question: If you could have a super power, what would it be?
ME: The ability to become invisible--basically so that I can spy on people
HIM: Limitless knowledge
The question: If you could either fly or walk on water, which would you choose?
ME: Fly!
HIM: Well, it would depend on where I lived. See, if I lived in California, I'd want to walk on water. Since I live in Arizona where we're landlocked, I'd want to fly.
The question: Do you have any regrets in life? Or, if you could go back in time and change any one decision that you made, would you?
ME: Uh...yah. I can think of about 15.
HIM: No (and he was completely serious)
Anyway. That's just a sampling. He was older and balder and "heftier" than his pictures...so that was a little off-putting; and he kind of had an old man, high voice, and one of his eyes actually twitched.......but bless his heart, he was nice, and I genuinely laughed a few times.
My dreamboat? Heck--to the No. But for my first date in about 3-4 years...it could've been much worse. :)
