Brooklyn Promenade date

Last night I had a date with the sexy 21 year old, that I met last week. I have been warned by some of my friends not to get caught up while others told me to just enjoy myself and have fun. I’m proceeding very cautiously with him since he has an impressionable young mind and I wouldn’t really want to corrupt him. Yeah right!!!

So, he came and picked me up from my place and we went to the Brooklyn Promenade, located in Brooklyn Heights, which is great look out point from which you can see the Statue of Liberty as well as the entire NY skyline. We hung out for a few hours in that “getting to know you” phase. He has the potential to be a smart guy but I think that he hasn’t fully realized his potential and he’s clearly not interested in pushing the envelope when it comes to his intellectual growth. He clearly spends way too much time watching TV and hanging out on Myspace (which I know can be addictive for anyone under 25 years old!!) Somehow, we actually managed to have a nice conversation and though it wasn’t an intellectually stimulating conversation, it was still light and fun, which is nice to have every now and then. The evening ended with him dropping me home and agreeing to hang out at some point before the end of the week so we’ll see what happens. I’m not sure if it’s even worth it to go through opening his eyes to doing different types of activities, such as biking around the park and potentially going on road trips, if that’s not part of his perspective. Interestingly enough, he doesn’t smoke or drink and he actually is a practicing Christian, who attends church on a weekly basis, and doesn’t like it when women curse….now that’s interesting. I think he’s also very caught up in a woman’s image, meaning that she has to look hot all the time, and honestly, I like to dress down and pull my hair back down every so often, not trying to necessarily look like a model every time I step outside my apartment. Well, we’ll see about this one!!
