MAYBE a first date and a job interview all in the same trip isn't such a good idea. I'm pretty excited about meeting, er, Mr. I, but my mind is so exclusively on my job interview right that I'm afraid I might be quite boring during my coffee date.
This is my second Asian date. After breaking up with a Canuck, I'm really in no mood to expend any energy to bridge that cultural gap when dating a white guy. Recall that date with fellow-Filipino "Robin". It felt easy and comfortable. And having common experiences and places to talk about just felt so good. I felt like a crack addict getting some of the stuff after three years of abstinence. Not that I've have ever been a crack addict, FYI. But then it was three years of abstinence from Filipino culture and Filipino company. "Robin" was an oasis. Never mind that it seemed we played on the same team. It was wonderful while it lasted.
So now we move on to Vietnam. Hmmm, don't really know much about the country other than the war, the soup and Lea Salonga's musical. But then again, my date is Vietnamese-American. Probably more American because he grew up in the US. After this date, I'm going to take a break and let my online dating profile remain inactive. My interest in meeting new people is stronger than ever. But my interest in romance has waned...for now.
As for the interview, I must remember not to tell any jokes and not to mention the dogeaters.
