| That day at the pool ended with John asking Kandice for her phone number, which almost seemed a little silly, as she lived up one flight and over one apartment. But John suspected that Kandice might appreciate the silent implication that he wouldn't be crashing her pad, unannounced. She gave him her number, but didn't ask for his. John saw that as a good sign. He then quickly calculated that he would wait no less than forty-eight hours before calling her. This was in-line with what he liked to call: "bachelor desperation theory." (John's a funny guy.) John called her a couple days later, and soon found out that dating this girl wasn't going to be easy. They saw each other a few times in what might best be described as, "informal, platonic hanging-out." But it wasn't long before Kandice fell under the spell of his charm. She finally managed to fit him in somewhere between chemistry exams. On that first date, John took her to a stylish Italian restaurant in Addison. The silly story that unfolded after they left dinner would be better left for a "bachelor hall of shame page" that--hopefully--will never be included on Hallzpage. I will only say that it involved running out of gas in the middle of an intersection just off the George Bush turnpike. But, like in the game of golf, it's not always the quality of the tee shot that matters as much as those that follow the drive. John recovered well (after some Good Samaritans showed up with a gas can) and at the end of the night, once the laughter subsided, she agreed to date him again. CLICK ON THE NEXT BUTTON TO CONTINUE |
