Is there anything more awkward than a first blind date?

Methinks not.
Since the one I'm interested in doesn't feel the same about me, I have decided to take the plunge into internet dating. Good grief. How pathetic am I? Pathetic but extremely lonely.
So tonight after a good hour of chosing and rejecting every piece of clothing I own, I met up with Colin. Turns out he looks quite a bit like the bastard ex. Hmmm.
Anyway, we met up at Starbucks for coffee (he was five minutes late). He seemed quite normal which is always a good start. I tried not to be too much of a snob and focus on the baggy jeans and sneakers. Not my favourite look on a man.
Then we meandered over to see Knocked Up (movie review in sort, quite funny and a lot better than I expected).
Credits began to roll and he said "I need to go to the loo". I turned to get my bag and coat, turned back and he had gone. Ok.
Waited outside for him, had an awkward conversation with a couple who know my grandma. We then decided to go get something to eat. Walked around for awhile, bumped into some friends of his who gave me the look up and down - awkward. Finally ended up at Furnace, a new restaurant/bar/nightclub.
Very nice restaurant, would total reccommend it. Lovely design, very tidy bathrooms, great menu, very affordable, friendly staff and we got our meal within 10 minutes of ordering!
Pleasant conversation throughout dinner, mainly about the dinner. We then paid, I insisted we go halves (first dates are so awkward!) He paid first then when I was putting my card away in my purse, I look up and he's already outside holding the door for me! Then a walk back to our cars.
He walked past his back to mine. We commented on the nice evening. He said something about doing it again sometime. I waited to see if there would be a hug or peck or something. Nope. Ok. He tooted as he drove past at the lights. And now I'm having a moment where I really wish I had three friends named Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda, to suss out exactly how the evening went! But I don't so am blogging. Am thinking of renaming my blog, by the way, to "No Sex and the City".
Hmm...will have to see if I hear from him I guess. I am no way experienced in the world of dating and this whole thing is really AWKWARD!
He seems lovely. Very intelligent, not into sport, could be a good dresser, likes Rialto movies!
But what does he think of me?!
Oh crap. I'll continue later, he's just come online! Moment of truth time!
