Tales from the Frontline: Online Dating

Date with the Doc night:

Reservations at really nice restaurant.
Initial impression: nice looking, dressed nice, warm hello
Awkward chitchat while we waited but that was probably me - it’s a little nerve-wracking.
Hostess called us for table reservation - and she said table for two for Dr. Such-and-such. For some reason I didn’t like it - unnecessary flex? Like ok I get it you’re a Dr.
Dinner was fantastic, convo ok mostly, a little quirky about what I was going to order and how healthy or not it may be - strongly suggested seafood. So of course, I immediately didn’t want to order seafood. And didn’t.
He ordered dessert. Lol. Moments were nice. Thinking I think he seems to like me ok despite my non-seafood choice and hmmm maybe just need more time to get to know him. On the fence.
Then when they were bringing bill he said - I have a surprise for you but it’s in my car right outside. After weighing chances of being abducted and killed - I said ok but I needed to let my sis know because I’m sharing my location with her and she’ll wonder what’s up when I leave and don’t call immediately.
So go to car, and he gets out a saxophone and tells me he wants to play me a song. ( omg I am trying so hard not to crack up - internal dialogue- I got this - I can handle this public sax serenade post first date.) Hahaha
Then to top it off he says ( wait for it)….I just started taking lessons.
And starts playing very proudly. And very ummm squeaky then a note squeak note etc.
stopped playing and said guess the song!! ( ummmmmmm lol lol I’m dying like wtf do I say)
I made some guess like Georgia On My Mind haha
He said think holidays and “played” some more - I said Auld Lang Syne? My face definitely turned red by this point.
Ding ding ding. I was right. Then he went back squeak-note-ing until I guess the song was over.
He was really really really proud of himself.
I didn’t know what to do so I kind of applauded,thanked him and said good night.
Yeah so that just happened.
I cannot stop laughing.

I understand the reservation under 'dr. Such n such' he gave up years of his life to earn his degree,  and he damn well wants to be acknowledged for it.     However,  squeaky sax boy is looking for a mother figure to praise him for expanding his horizons.    Either that or he's a mommas boy, and momma told him he was great.  Be sure to feed your kids brownies and pixie styx in front  of him, if you ever get to the point where you introduce him to them.
