Any chance that etiquette is online...?
Definitely, though I was only hearing people laugh about it in conversation, so I'd have to google search. I believe the premise was 40-year-olds trying to be hip and hang out with 20-year-old colleagues.
Aaanyway, let's start with the not happening: I got back the results of the speed dating. One match (the obvious one), and a loooooooong list of friendzoneing (some on my end, some on their end). Well, that's one less variable to worry about.
Yesterday evening I met with #2 for Thanksgiving at her Berkley Co-op. Chatted a lot, though it stayed entirely platonic, and I realized after I had been interacting with her much like I interact with friends. Really enjoy her company. I think she was getting the same general sense saying in an email "I'm not sure if you're feeling it romantically, but either way I really like talking with you, and would like to do more." Oh yeah, and she showed me one of the greatest music videos of all time

Getting to know her, actually I'm pretty into her personality-wise too, and we're compatible in a lot of other ways (for instance, both like kids, both want kids). It also turns out she likes math, she likes math a lot, she was just never good at it. Oh, and she brought an adorable dog with her, whom I cuddled a lot (I miss having a dog). She also expressed interest in trying Touhou (well, not specifically Touhou, but I described the gameplay in general geometrical terms). We kissed goodbye, and I'm pretty sure I swooned (we were in the car, but I came out of the kiss disoriented, and was dizzy for the next 20 seconds or so). Yeah, this one seems to be going places.
