Last night I had my first date with Mr. Knee Surgery. We went to Chili's for dinner. I got there about 5 minutes early as I typically do and he got there right on time. Not late... that is a definite plus for me. He called me to let me know he was there and we got out of our cars hugged and met for the first time. He said, "You look so pretty, wow nice car!" haha. He was really cute and had big blue eyes. We got a table immediately. This date was originally supposed to be a coffee date, but because of my diet I can't have coffee for a while. I apologized that it wasn't the coffee date he dreamed of and he said, "Nah I don't even drink coffee anyway" but I knew he was just trying to make me feel better. I ordered a water and he ordered a Sprite... the water said "sweet tea" and he said "no Sprite". So then our drinks come and he definitely brought him a sweet tea. I went to correct him and he said no no its okay I love sweet tea anyway its what I really wanted. Go with the flow....I like it. Dinner was great. This guy is a talker, which I love! Most guys on match.com tend to be more on the shy side, not Mr. Knee Surgery. In fact sometimes he would jump from subject to subject and I was like whoa total change of conversation, were we done with the last one? I really liked that though because I do that often too. It kept my attention. He talked about work, his sister, his niece, his friends, his church, his trips he has taken, and his mom. I learned a lot. We both had a really good laugh when the manager came to fill his sweet tea that he loved and spilled it all over the table and on part of his jeans. She said "Oh my goodness I am so sorry did I get you!" He just smiled and said, "Just a little its no big deal I love sweet tea."....Not easily angered or annoyed. I am really liking him by this point and dinner went really fast and he goes, "Well lets get out of here." I was suddenly really bummed that it ended so quickly and thought he really wasn't into and was just ready to go.
We walked out the door and I spotted a friend who was getting Chili's to go so I ran over and said hi and introduced them quickly and talked for a minute. We hugged and started walking to my car and he said, "So do you want to just leave your car here are you okay with that?" I got super excited and said "Yes where are we going?" "How about a movie or putt putt or something?" I said, "Well if your knee can handle it I am totally up for some putt putt!" He said, "Putt putt it is!"
We pull up to Drakes Creek and get in line to pay. There was one family in front of us to pay and it was about 15 minutes before our turn. I laughed out loud when he leaned over and said, "We have had some of the best customer service I have had in a long time."....Sarcasm....I like it. We get ready to go and he said, "I'm going to warn you I might embarrass myself, I haven't played in a while." I said, "Well I won't lie and will warn you I am pretty amazing at it." "He said, "Oh I have no doubt." We kept score and he was very encouraging and every time I would say, "Oh I like this one" or "This one is really hard" He would say "This is so not fair you have home course advantage." One of my favorite conversations went like this.
The water in the "lake" at Drakes Creek was maybe a half and inch deep and brown.
Kayla: "I wonder why that water is so weird"
Mr. Knee Surgery: "Weird? That was the first word that came to your mind? Hmm I would really like to hear the Kayla logic on why that water is weird?" Laughing
Kayla: "Well look at it I mean its all brown and its normally like a greenish tint"
Mr. Knee Surgery: "Ok so its the color that is bothering you and makes it weird?"
Kayla: "Well I mean its obviously not that deep"
Mr. Knee Surgery: "Really? I hadn't noticed....that is some weeeeirrrd water"
Another favorite conversation.
Mr. Knee Surgery is looking around.
Kayla: "Whatcha looking for?"
Mr. Knee Surgery: "To see if this place has lights because it is starting to get dark"
Kayla: Pointing to lights at the start of each hole. "Oh I think these come on"
Lights come on immediately and Kayla's mouth drops of astonishment. Yep right out of a movie.
Mr Knee Surgery: "Do you have this place rigged?!?!?"
Note: Later in the course one of the lights wasn't working and he said, "Hey Kayla could you ask that light to come on for me." Kayla, "Come on" Mr. Knee Surgery starting cracking up and I said, "I can't abuse my powers." "I probably would have freaked out and left if it came on anyway"
After putt putt, I saw him glancing at the batting cage and I thought oh great I am in a black dress that I would consider short. This is about to happen. He said lets do the batting cage! We get our quarters and go to the slow pitch softball. He said I am going to need you to go first to show me how its done. I get up to bat and hit every one. Apparently I did a little victory dance in between each one because he said, "I think it helps when you do the butt swagger and your dance!" He let me have my turn 3 times in a row!
All in all it was an amazing date. Nothing went wrong. Well other than the tea. I haven't had a date in a very very long time where nothing has gone wrong. I am hopeful that there will be another date, but always if not, it was well worth a fun night and I am so glad that I went. I'll keep you posted and thank you Mr. Knee Surgery!
