Brunch date is a good alternative to the dinner date

Brunch is more casual and less intense than dinner. You shouldn't look glam - if you do, it would be overkill.

Penny Pincher was nice... but he complained about how expensive the orange juice was at the diner we met at. Throughout our meals he mentioned how it was odd that the waitresses kept asking if we wanted anything else, as though they wanted us to buy something else. I told him they were just doing their job.

He reminded me of another guy I dated back in October, actually. Their mannerisms are the same! Penny talks loud, he speaks with ownership and entitlement of a subject. The only questions he asked of me was what I thought of eHarmony (our instrument of association) and what my favourite band is at the moment. Otherwise it was him yammering on about Hemmingway, his work colleagues, his bad dates ... Penny seems nice, but there's nothing about him that intrigues me... yet.

He would make a good drinking buddy, I think. Penny told me he thinks people who meet via the net put too much stock into a first date. We both agreed that friendship first is important. So perhaps he wasn't intrigued by me either. Or perhaps he is actually mature. Only time will tell.
