Michael was my first Chevy Chase date. He arrived on time and looking a bit tired. I was expecting a bit more polish but he explained he was working all day, from home. I’m not sure what to think but I decided to make friends none the less. He was, after all, a dog dad to a 14 year old yellow lab.

Conversation was nice! He explained exactly what he did. I got it. Not something I would ever aspire to but he seemed to really enjoy it. He asked me great questions and seemed to give a shit about me. Wow, an attorney who cares. Odd. Go with it. (side note, dated LOTS of attorneys. Many loved themselves far too much.)

I enjoyed two double Tanquery and tonics. Nice and helped after my long work day. It was odd that, when the bill came, he used a calculator for the tip. Yikes!

He was nice, smart, fun, and seemed to care a lot about what he did both in this world and with his family. He had 50% custody of his 10 and 15 year olds and seemed to cherish that time. Loved seeing that.

He did ask lots of questions including “can I see you again?” I did give him my number and think that i would accept an invitation.

He did pay. He did not attempt a kiss. He was a gentleman. I later found out that he was a partner in his firm and his role was substantially larger than he led on. Humble. Another good quality!
