It was Saturday night and I met her at the restaurant where I was taking her. We both took taxis so that we could drink without worrying about driving. The place we went to was called Pazo Restaurant down on 1425 Aliceanna Street. It was a nice Mediterranean place with a very warm interior. I was really nervous before I left the house and so I smoked a bunch of weed because I thought that would make me feel better. When I got the restaurant I was high as #$% and was like doh I smoked too much, but the good thing was that she hadn't arrived yet so I had a chance to sit there and eat some bread to try and kill my buzz a bit. When she finally arrived (10mins late) it felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest because I was so excited to see her. She looked so incredibly attractive that I felt like I was out with a supermodel.
She approached the table and I stood up to greet her. Handshake? Hug? Kiss? wtf do I do here... grr I hate greeting people because I have no standardized greeting other than fist bumps with my friends. I stood there and kind of did nothing to see what she would do. She opened her arms as if to hug me and then kissed me on the cheek as we embraced... I was like w00t. She was smiling a lot and I was all giddy and semi-retarded as a result of that. She was talking to me and I was like just staring at her face not really listening. I think she could tell because I am pretty sure that she asked me the same thing 2-3 times and then smiled really hard and was blushing. Finally I came back to earth with the help of a little self talk. We ordered some drinks - she had a Cosmopolitan and I had a rum and coke.
I really have no idea what we were talking about. I think the topic was work etc and some other meaningless crap. I was pretty much just staring at her the whole time, fixated on her lips and teeth... man she has perfect white teeth. I think we had about 4 drinks each by the time our meals came and I was feeling pretty tipsy and excited like a little kid cuz I was with such a hot chick in such a nice place and I was high. I shoveled my food into my mouth kind of quick and near the end of the meal I was like oh I should be more conscious of my table manners. She ordered some chocolate cake for dessert and I didn't have anything. Yeah, that's right I don't eat sugar after protein. I will explain why because most people are perplexed as to why I do this. 8 years ago I went to a naturopathic doctor and they told me if I did nothing else for the rest of my life I should not mix proteins with sugars. So here is how it works... When you eat proteins they take 3 hours to fully digest in your stomach. When you eat sugars it takes your body 1 hour to digest it. So lets pretend you have a totally empty stomach and you show up at a restaurant. Then you eat steak or chicken for dinner. What happens is that now you have a lump of protein in your stomach and that's it, so your body now pumps in hydrochloric acid to break down the protein. This meat needs to stay in this state of being submerged in acid for 3 hours to fully digest the meat. So what happens when you eat dessert 10 mins after dinner? The sugar from the dessert goes into your stomach and joins the protein and acid that are currently in there. Your body will then pump in alkaline to break down the sugars. The problem here is that when you mix alkaline with acid, the alkaline will neutralize all the acid and all the liquid will turn to alkaline. So now you have in your stomach protein, sugar, and alkaline... no acid. So the sugars will get digested but the protein which only had 10 mins alone in the acid will just float around in the alkaline and not get broken down or digested and this undigested meat will sit in your colon and ferment. You will experience bloating and diarrhea etc. So basically you need to wait 3 hours after eating meat before you can eat sugar which is very hard for most people because their body craves sugar after you eat protein. It took me several years to adjust to this style of eating and now it seems totally disgusting to me to eat sugar with protein. Also drinking something sugary like soda while you are eating is the worst thing you can do because now you are not even giving the protein any chance to get broken down because you bombarding your system with alkaline. The worst example of this is when people order a Coke with their fast food. I usually TRY and wait 3 hours but sometimes I will just give in after 2 hours.
Anyways back to the date. After she finished dessert she said she wanted to go dancing somewhere so we went back to Club Hippo where we went last week. There was a big ass lineup and I was like ugh I got no connections here and I don't want to have to tip the bouncer just to get in. Then randomly she went up to a bouncer and said something to him and he just nodded and opened the rope and we got let in ahead of the crowd. When we got in I asked if she knew him and she said yeah that he was one of her friend's ex boyfriends. I was like hmm was that a lie? Was that YOUR old boyfriend? Then I was like meh who cares... an ex is an ex what should I care... at least we got into the club which was hopping. We got some drinks and hit the packed ass dance floor. We danced for a long time but sorta across from each other. I was tempted to touch her and grind her and shit but I wasn't sure she was into it. We finally left near closing time and shared a taxi to her place. We pulled up in front of her apartment building and she leaned over and kissed me on the cheek, said she had a great time and that I was sweet. Then she turned and got out of the car and I was like wtf fail. I do not understand women. I thought I was getting somewhere with her but perhaps I wasn't aggressive enough
