#3 Matty

Matty is really cute. Matty is really fun. I enjoyed Matty's company.

Matty and I have been texting for a bit and earlier this week we decided to go out on Thursday. In a very uninspired move, Matty said we should go to a movie.  Now, I don't judge (who am I kidding, yes I do) but I decided to go and as I started searching for movies I saw that Ghostbusters was playing at Jordan Commons.  Yes, folks, the original Ghostbusters. How can you pass on oppurtunity like this up. I haven't seen Ghostbusters, in its entirety, since I saw it in a movie theater 20 years ago.  I was stoked.  So, I asked Matty if he would like to go and he agreed.

I got to the theater a bit early and I saw the greatest thing ever.  People actually dressed up in ghostbuster gear and someone has actually created a ghostbuster mobile complete with license plate that said Ecto Ut. The real live ghostbusters (jumpsuits, backpacks and ghost busting gear) were all about. I had a brief moment of horror when I realized
a.) I was underdressed
b.) they might be acting this shit out ala Rocky Horror Picture Show

Fortunately enough, they didn't act it out, but I was treated to witnessing several ghostbusters try to out nerd each other by comparing ghostbuster and ghostbusting movie trivia.

Anywho, Matty arrived and I thought he was damn cute. He was easy to talk to and was quite funny. We sat in the movie theater and judged the people that came in. All in all, we had about 30 minutes to chat before the movie started.  Talking with Matty was great because we didn't have the typical first date chat.  We just chatted like we were friends.

I can actually say that this was the first instance where I really noticed that movies can be a bad first date.  We did just sit in the movie theater and didn't talk and didn't get to know one another. I would have appreciated more time to just sit and shoot the breeze. I know now that going to a movie, and only going to the movie, on a first date can be a bad idea.  But, I'm hopeful that I will get a second date with Matty and we can spend more time talking.  But, who knows.

All in all, I had a good time. Not much to report as Matty seemed fairly normal and not totally crazy like my beautiful friend.
