Sex and the Big City
My most memorable second date of all time was not the one that concluded with her roommate crawling into bed with us at 2 a.m., nor was it the one that ended with the knife-wielding not-so-ex-boyfriend stabbing at me through a broken window.
It was the one where, over dessert at a nice restaurant, the Big City Girl (BCG) said to me, “So, I figure we’ll be having sex next time we get together. Why don’t you come over for dinner on Saturday, and that will leave us plenty of time, and I’ll make you brunch on Sunday?”
At 43 or so years old, you’d think I’d have taken this in stride. How completely civilized! How entirely off the hook I was, as far as figuring out how far to take things after dinner! Instead, it is entirely possible that I blushed, gaped and stammered. Fortunately, the BCG found my discomfiture delightful.
Saturday’s dinner was delicious, as was Sunday brunch, as was everything in between. However, with apologies to the BCG, from whom I learned that Sex in the City might as well be a documentary, ours was not my most memorable Third Date, which is a toss-up between my first visit to a BDSM club and the one that ended with her mom knocking at the door to announce that breakfast was served, which is not something that should happen until about the twenty-second date, if ever. (More on that in a minute since this is, after all, a story about Second Dates and how I should have figured them out a long time before the BCG.)

Worth the wait, as always... and delighted to be ranked #1 (even on Date #2). Mom'll be so proud ;-)
Did mom read it?
I can just imagine what she'd have said ...
