I couldn't help but think of my date from MeetUps, a new dating app, as anything but boring. Her name was Amy. She was a pretty girl with long brown hair, and she worked in an office building just outside the city I lived in. We met up for dinner on Friday night at one of those new restaurants that opened down by the university where we could pretend to be hipsters while drinking craft beers out of glasses so big they were like magnifying lenses.
We talked about our lives; how we both liked hiking and wanted kids someday (not necessarily together), her job which sounded interesting enough although it involved sitting around all day looking busy. I told her about mine too -- I work as a web designer/developer, do some freelancing on the side when there is extra money. It wasn't exactly exciting stuff, but then neither of us are particularly ambitious or driven people either. The conversation meandered along until it eventually came back to sex.
"So what kind of guys turn you off?" I asked over another glass of beer. "Is it bad if he's not very good-looking? Or does being smart count?"
She laughed nervously, pushing her blonde curls away from her face.
"It depends," she replied. "If he's got a really nice personality though... I don't care much."
I nodded sagely. That made sense. Most girls would probably agree.
"What about you?" she continued after a momentary pause. "Do you have any particular preferences?"
I shrugged nonchalantly.
"I guess I'm more into cute than hot," I said. "But honestly, looks aren't everything."
Her eyes lit up.
"Really!" she exclaimed. "That must mean something because..."
I raised my hand to stop her before she finished whatever ridiculous thought had come to mind.
"I know what you're thinking," I chuckled.
She blushed.
"No, seriously, tell me," she persisted. "You don't seem like a player type."
I smiled at the girl, glad I'd gotten her to loosen up.
"I've had my fair share of relationships," I told her. "But they've all been pretty vanilla. The kind of girl I tend to end up dating is pretty normal looking, but I guess I'm not the most adventurous guy. I know it might seem weird but... I don't even really have a type."
"Oh sure you do, everyone has a type." she shot back, smiling playfully.
I rolled my eyes at her and decided to go on the offence.
"Okay, let me ask you something then," I said, leaning in closer. "Is there a certain type of girl you think is attractive? Maybe you like them tall, blond, slim, with big tits?"
She stared at me open-mouthed as I continued talking.
"Or maybe you like girls with bigger asses?"
"Um... no? I don't really think about that kind of stuff," she replied, sounding flustered.
I leaned back in my chair, amused by her reaction. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to take her home and fuck her or completely and willingly ruin this date right here. It was a tough call. I thought for a moment.
"Well then, I'll ask you a different question. Do you think girls are shallow?"
She blushed again but didn't reply.
"If I wanted to get inside of you tonight," I continued, "What would be your number one concern? Would it be my dick?"
"I... I'm not sure..." she stammered.
"What about my looks?"
She shook her head.
"That's not it... I think you're actually pretty cute, honestly," she said.
I leaned back, surprised by her candour.
"Okay, what if I told you that I was into men?" I asked casually. "Do you think you could get turned on by it?"
I saw her eyes widen slightly. Her breathing seemed to quicken. She licked her lips.
"You're... you're gay?" she asked.
I shrugged.
"That's not the point," I replied. "The point is that it wouldn't matter what you looked like. If I was into you, it would all be about your personality, right?"
"I..." she began, her eyes darting around the room, as if trying to figure out if anyone could overhear us. "I don't know... It's a little weird..."
"A little weird? You just confessed to being attracted to me, and now you're having second thoughts?"
I laughed, amused at her discomfort. She looked back down at the table, unable to meet my gaze.
"I guess you're right," she murmured, looking a little sheepish.
It was at this time she was approached by a woman she knew. She looked to be in her mid 20's and had dressed up in a black skirt and punk looking top. The skirt barely covered her ass, and her midriff was barely covered by a tight shirt that was cinched tight against her body. Her long green hair was in a messy bun, and her dark make up gave her face a very sexy look.
"This is my friend Victoria." My date said to me.
I nodded at the two women who greeted each other with a smile and a light hug.
"Nice to meet you," Victoria said to me in a husky voice as they let go of each other.
