Happy Valentine's Day! It's sort of a bitter sweet day for me. Turns out my honey bun is all bun and no honey! LOL! He made all of these really nice plans for Valentine's Day weekend a month in advance...but somehow he forgot that he had to work this weekend. I'm a very patient woman, but I don't like promises and plans made that cannot be delivered upon. On Saturday I reposted my dating profile just to kind of see who else is out there because I am single after all. Not even two hours later a real cutie pie sends me a message inviting me out to see the Broadway play "FELA" the next day. I was a bit skeptical because his profile kind of made him sound like he was really picky about women, and I like to have an ongoing dialogue with people for a while before meeting them in person. Something inside me said, why not? I bought this really expensive Free People dress to wear somewhere nice for Valentine's Day weekend and I already got the shoes and accessories to match. So here is how my first date went...
So I meet up with the new guy at the Shakespeare Theatre Company on F St. NW in Washington, DC. This is my first time here, so I was really looking forward to the play!
FELA is about to start! This play was written by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. It's a play about the true story of a Nigerian musician named Fela Kuti who devoted his music to defy an oppressive military regime.
This is us posing after the play! He's so very handsome! ^.^;; I'm really glad that my niece did my hair. It turned out really beautiful. This was an amazing first date. I loved the play and we shared a lot of good laughs, but the date wasn't over just yet...
He took me out to a nice mediterranean restaurant called Zaytinya, which was nearby. I ordered seared salmon, which was very delicious. He ordered roasted cauliflower, which he claimed was yummy, but I was suspicious of haha! I'm a very picky eater when it comes to vegetables. I know you can't see my dress here, but the restaurant was chilly!
After dinner, we went to a small movie theatre and saw a South Korean film called "Housemaid". It was pretty good, but had a bizarre ending. This is my dress! I can't wait to wear it again. The plunge in the neckline makes me a bit shy, but I don't think that it looks trashy.
I wouldn't say I had a Valentine this year, but I am thankful that I at least got to get out and have a good time. It's really nice being treated like a real lady. My date seemed like a real gentleman and I think any girl he settles down with will be a very happy woman. I'm not sure if he's interested in me or not, but I did get invited on a second date! He wants me to go to New York with him this Thursday to meet Maya Angelou at her book signing for her latest cook book. This is like a once in a lifetime opportunity and its crazy that he wants to spend it with me!
Until next time...
