See The Confident Nerd for the background on this one.
Second Date: Clash of the Titans 3D in Union Square
Second Impression: He texted me back after I texted him to tell him I had returned from Oz. After a couple more texts, he followed up with a phone call (nice) and suggested dinner and a movie for Friday night, which turned into just a movie for Sunday night.
Red Flags: It ended much the same way it began--with a whimper. When we first met up at the theater, he tried for a kiss on the lips, which I dodged to give him a cheek. It ended with an awkward hug. Otherwise, we conversed well, but I had the unmistakable urge to lower the armrest during the movie to create more of a barrier.
Diagnosis: It's probably best we got it over with on Sunday rather than waiting until Friday because as soon as I saw him I knew I just. couldn't. do. it. As far as I could tell, he's a nice guy but his overarching awkwardness is something I can't overcome. He slumps just a little too much and moves with just a little too much hesitation.
Next: Mr Unavailable #107. We both work near 59th and Madison, which could be very good--or very bad--or, like most things, completely inconsequential.
