A Date With the Enemy

Former Harvard president was recently quoted saying "...if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an asshole..." Well I would like to add a third possibility; that they are the SGA president.

I don't like dating men that are too polished and Silas was just that. He was president of SGA when he was in college and currently works in politics with unions. He had a bright white smile, great hair, perfect posture, and when he took a minute to think, it looked as if he was developing strategies to end wars and create world peace.

I noticed that Silas was "stalking" my okcupid profile on Sunday, so I sent him a message to break the ice. We began by discussing our love for food and cooking and shared places we enjoyed dining at in the city. I later noticed that his instant messaging was turned on and we chatted for about an hour before exchanging numbers. He told me that my assertiveness was refreshing and I saw that as an opportunity to move things forward.

On Tuesday we met at Tamari for sushi and drinks. Silas was wearing khaki slacks, a baby blue linen shirt, and he looked as if he had spent more time on his hair than I had did on mine. Ugh. During our date I kept questioning his sexuality or wondering if he was just simple a metro. Either way the sushi was great but the sangria was a little watered down.

Will I go on a another date with Silas? Ummm...probably not but I do highly recommend trying the Chipotle Tuna Tartar at Tamari.
