I went to lunch with Julie today. I didn't feel much of a spark from her. It's sort of too bad for me because out of the three that I got contacted by she was far and away the one I like best. The lunch was fine and we talked pretty easily but there just wasn't much attraction toward me from her.

I do think that a big part of that is because we are about the same height and actually she is a little taller than me. I didn't check to see if she was wearing heels or not but I don't think so. In a way this is a good outcome. I'm going to have to go on a lot of dates before I meet someone who I would like to see seriously.

I did ask her out to dinner this Saturday but she declined. We did make tentative plans for lunch next week. Who knows what may happen in the future. I bet she has other dates with men she met at the speed date so this is the way it's supposed to work.

I've definitely been spoiled from the start-up of some past relationships. When I decide to date someone they very early on let know that they are interested in me. This ambivalence is off-putting to say the least but, I'm going to keep my options open with Julie. She would make a good friend too. She's smart, good looking and is taking tennis lessons this summer. She has a great laugh to, it's kind of deep and throaty.
