round three

With whom did I go out on date with this week? Name, Where & What, & Day of the Week.
Loren
One Drink at Beretta in San Francisco
October 18, Friday evening around 9:00 p.m.

How was I feeling before and during the date? Was my mind wandering off elsewhere?

I felt pretty good before meeting up with Loren.  I had a drink with my co-workers right after work, so that may have loosened me up a little.  

During the date, I felt natural and at ease.

I did not feel my mind wander off at all, but sometimes there where times of silence. 

Was I being MYSELF throughout the whole date?
I felt that I was being myself.  We got a long well and we had a few things in common.

Was there a connection?
I felt a connection with Loren, but more as friends.

Did I learn something new about myself after the date?
I learned on this date that when there is a connection and I vibe with a person I am more engaged and attentive.  One of my criteria in going out with these gents is that I have a 5'11 height  minimum to date someone.  So, I also learned that I am not shallow and willing to meet new people no matter what.

Did I feel a "Love Pang/Butterflies" when I initially saw him?
No.  He was handsome, but too short. I knew this prior to meeting him.

Additional Comments?
The nice thing about this date is that it was easy.  Loren had prior plans to meet with his friends after we had a drink.  So, I felt there was no pressure at all.  He also extended an invite to go to a James Blake concert with him the next day if I was interested, but I was unable to go due to homework.
