round two

With whom did I go out on date with this week? Name, Where & What, & Day of the Week.
Niero
Drinks at Bar called The Phone Booth in San Francisco
I had water the entire time, but he surprised me with Sprite when I showed up because my stomach was not feeling well before I met with him. I was actually too afraid to drink it because of the fear of it being laced with a potential date drug)
October 16, Wednesday evening around 11:30 p.m.

signage above the bar says "trust no man"

How was I feeling before and during the date? Was my mind wandering off elsewhere?
I actually wasn't sure if I was going to meet up with Niero, but I was able to find my third wind.  I had a dinner date with my girlfriend Sarah prior to meeting him and the German food wasn't agreeing with my stomach.  I figured I needed to go out on this date in order to fulfill this week's blog post.  I was actually tired and fickle before leaving my house to meet him.
During the date, I felt that my attention span was not totally there.  I don't know if it was because I was tired, my stomach pains, or he was trying to hard to impress me.  During the whole conversation, he kept apologizing for every little thing and it was a semi turn off.
Honestly, I did feel that my mind was wandering off here and there.  I was distracted and thinking only if I could have a glass of whiskey right about now.

Was I being MYSELF throughout the whole date?
I felt that I was being myself, but then I felt myself treating him like a client.  So, I was just sitting there listening to his stories and agreeing to what he would say.

Was there a connection?
I did not feel any connection with Niero.

Did I learn something new about myself after the date?
I learned on this date that I had trust issues.  I wasn't sure if I should've drank the Sprite that he bought for me and I was also afraid of leaving my water with him as well when I would use the restroom.

Did I feel a "Love Pang/Butterflies" when I initially saw him?
No.

Additional Comments?
He tried to invite me over to his house after the bar was closing, but he was a gentleman to offer me an Uber cab and/or walk me to my car.  I denied all three.  We hugged when we parted and he mentioned that he would like to see me again and I replied "ok."  I'm not sure though if I can follow through with that.  This is one thing I have to learn on this journey is not to be too nice and lead anyone on if I am not feeling the same way as the other person.
