I met "FSN guy" at 7 in Bloomfield for dinner. I was there about 2 minutes before him. When we met up, he gave me a hug and we went to sit down. He had called to make reservations beforehand, which was a great idea for a Friday night. We had dinner and talked a lot - the conversation never died. In fact, we were so busy talking that the waiter kept coming back and we kept asking for a couple more minutes. A two minute "menu penalty" was enforced so that our waiter didn't have to come back a 4th time just to take our order.
I thought everything was going well. We stayed after dinner for another drink. Our waiter came out and asked if we could close the check since he was getting in trouble for overtime. So "FSN guy" paid the bill and we planned to hang out longer. Just around 9, karaoke started in the bar. Neither of us can stand karaoke, so we decided to leave. I mentioned going somewhere else to keep talking and he agreed. When we got outside he wanted to drop off his food in his car. Still under the assumption that we were going somewhere else, I walked with him. I also didn't feel like standing on a street corner by myself.
It was a good thing since once we got to the car and he put his food in, all of a sudden he said that he had to go. Apparently he received a text message and had a "friend emergency" that he needed to take care of. According to him, one friend was drunk and another friend was mad at the drunk friend. He said he might text me later and maybe send over any good pictures or video if there were any good ones. I told him that I would text my real email over instead of the POF email that we had been using. But we stood in the parking lot talking for 10 minutes or so and he gave me a hug goodbye.
Of course, I haven't heard anything back. And while the date seemed to have gone well, apparently it didn't. The mixed signals threw me off - the goodbye hug at the same time he was engaging in, what my friend referred to as, the "classic dodge" to get out of continuing the date. Even though I enjoyed talking to him and I was having a good time on the date, I'm ok with it being just a first date. However, I expected much more honesty out of "FSN guy".

But it's only been a couple days! I would say you have to wait a week before you write him off.
That thought crossed my mind, but it was still weird how it ended. It would be nice to be wrong, but I think I might be right. I'm often pretty spot on with my analysis of the situation. Especially since he was texting me every day, a few times a day, but I haven't heard a peep out of him since last Friday.
