So, I had a first date last Saturday night...

... with a friend of a friend. I have met her on a couple of occasions but finally got the cojones to ask her out. She is attractive, intelligent, successful, any and all of which immediately puts her WAY out of my league but she must feel an obligation to the lower side of humanity because she accepted my invitation for dinner. Afterwards, we were walking around downtown La Jolla, window browsing some high-end stores. We came up to a shop that had several brand name watches in the window. I asked:

"Would you mind if we went in here so I can check out the watches?"

To which, she replied:

"Not at all! I have had my eye on a nice Patek for several months, I was all set to buy it then IWC came out with this really nice Ladies model. And Hublot has a 34mm with a gold bezel I would really like to see.... "

.... ......... ....


.... .... .............. .....


.. .. ..... . ... ......


After several moments of stunned silence on my part I looked her in the eyes and said:


"I think I Love you"




Too quick?

Kind of an awkward laugh, but she really is a good sport and when I explained I'm a WIS (didn't use the term but explained the concept) she got it and we had fun with it.

You need to book Gerardo early for the nuptials. And there better be a Watch door prize give away.

I just remembered I took a few pics, I guess this one is OK to share. Here she is trying on an IWC. My fellow San Diegans might recognize the store.

Paul my man, as far as I can see you've hit the jackpot.

I assume you've deflated Anna?

Can Paul’s new bride count on you for an ironclad pre-nup?

I laughed out loud at this.

In Swedish to nup means to f#"k so you're asking him to pre-nup before Paul.

That didn’t work for Lee Marvin.

Sounds like she can write her own. Your services may be needed to ensure Anna is taken care of.

Good for you. I hope it works out.

I know that you get playful, but talk turns into thoughts. I really hope you don't think of yourself that way.

You are obviously doing quite well and are living a great life. I hope you treat yourself as such.
