Russian girl, Italian food

So last week I finally went on a date with this Russian girl I had been chatting up with online and on the phone. I made reservations at Sabatino's Italian restaurant downtown. I had never seen a pic of this girl, but she sounded so nice on the phone I just couldn't pass up the chance to meet her. As I was sitting in front of her apartment waiting for her, I kept seeing these overweight girls pass by and was almost ready to GTFO. She finally emerged from the door and wow she looked fine... jet black straight hair with straight edge bangs, lean body etc, much hotter than my last girlfriend.

As we were driving through the Fort McHenry Tunnel she asked me if I had any fear of heights which I thought was hella random, but I was so nervous I don't even remember how I replied. I was intoxicated by the smell of her perfume. I really need to get a few drinks in me and fast...

I ordered a double vodka on the rocks and she had a glass of red wine, again the details are fuzzy because I was kind of just staring at her lips for most of the first 10 minutes or so. She had probably the hottest set of lips I have ever seen in my life.

Turns out we both have a thing for veal so she ordered the "VEAL A LA BEPPI" which are tenderloin veal medallions in wine and brandy sauce, with mushrooms and pimentos. I had the "VEAL SALTIMBOCCA" which are medallions sauteed in white wine sauce with mozzarella and prosciutto. The food was good, not great, doubt I'll ever go back there. Once the double vodka's started to kick in, I loosened up and started to get pretty chatty, I think I may have talked a little too much lol.

She said she had to get up really early the next morning and couldn't stay out late, so I drove her home after dinner. I really wasn't expecting much in terms of a goodbye kiss or whatever and my assessment of the situation was pretty bang on as she reached over, gave me a kiss on the cheek, thanked me for dinner, and went inside.

I had chalked up this first online dating encounter as a faillllllll but to my surprise she continued to talk to me and mentioned that she was very nervous herself having just got out of a LTR herself but thought I was cute and wants to hook up again. Man, I hate it when girls call me cute, not sure if it's a compliment or an insult. Anyways, taking her out again next weekend and hopefully I will have good news to share!
