Date C100508 - Looking for the One

So it was with my recent cynical dating/relationship attitude that I went on another Crazy Blind Date tonight. I had forgotten that I signed up for one and I didn't want to cancel it. I think those CBD people keep a running score of how many times you cancel (twice for me) and then set you up with not so great guys as punishment.

That's not to say my date tonight was bad. He was just fine. We talked about geeky stuff, stuff that on first meeting me you would probably never realize I was into.

Yes, I'm a fan of Batman, okay?

But my cynicism underlined our playful conversation. My date said he respected honesty, so I asked him.

Do guys believe in The One? Or do they approach marriage as just another milestone to accomplish at a certain age and whoever's around will be that One?

His response:

Sure, we believe in The One. I definitely wouldn't settle. I don't think settling is a matter of the guy. I think it's an individual preference.

I guess there are some good guys left.
