The ClueChick seal of approval: first date
Damn, I almost forgot about you guys tonight! I met a new boy this evening, and he did several things right! It's so great:
First, his initial email was, obviously, good: He told me a bit about himself, what he was looking for, and why he liked my ad. He included a clear picture of himself that left some things to the imagination. Then, when I responded to his email, he answered all my questions, had a couple of his own, and told me more about himself.
After a few back-and-forths, I decided I'd be up for meeting him, so we set up a time this afternoon. I gave him my phone number in case of last minute changes, and when he got stuck in traffic, he called to let me know he'd be a bit late. When he showed up, he looked like his picture, was apologetic about being late, and we had a very pleasant conversation. At the end of the conversation, he made it clear that he'd like to get together again without being pushy or demanding about it. Then he gave me a very nice kiss.
Just now, he sent me an email to reiterate his enjoyment of the date and that he looks forward to seeing me.
It's all vaguely like looking for a job, somehow, what with the application, interview, and followup, and yet, his doing all these things totally makes me want to do this guy just to reward good behavior. Man, it's nice to see someone do it right for a change!

That's a way to give feedback on the evening. Go him!
