My gut tells me that something is "off," but I couldn't tell you what. Since he's somewhat interesting (great reading list, broad musical tastes) and has purty eyes, I did agree to a repeat sometime after I'm back from Arizona. Thinking, though...the conversation was so all about him. I want a date to tell me about himself. I do. But when, after you've talked about you for a while, and I ask, "what else can you tell me, <b>or what would you like to know about me</b>?" that might be a hint that it's your turn to ask a few questions. For now, I'm chalking it up to nerves -- I'm sure I've committed the same faux pas before. Mr. Lunch wasn’t as much of a flop as I’d anticipated, but I’m not all a-twitter about him either.
