Date With An Intern

So last night while leaving work, I found an intern waiting outside the entrance. I went over to casually chat with her before heading to the train. We started walking in a general direction, me thinking about heading home to bed after the beating I took today with customers, then she said, "Okay. Where are we going?"

I thought it was pretty smooth, especially coming from someone younger than me. We settled on some sushi, then went to my friend's restaurant for a glass of wine.

The whole time we caught up on little nothings, mostly because I only worked with her a few days during her internship-- one which just ended two weeks ago. I liked the fact our date was so casual and laid back. A lot of laughing and making fun of each other. And I thought it was neat that I didn't worry about the fact she was a bit younger than me-- about 9 years.

It was nice meeting a normal girl, going out on a normal date, and doing normal date stuff like holding hands, which we did a little last night. No pretenses. No expectations. Just having a ball.

We hopped over to Grand Central, missed her train, then went to another friend's bar for a quick cocktail. Then we went to Grand Central (again), missed the next train, then went for some Wendy's. By the time we made her train going upstate, it was 1am, and it the wine and sake was starting to kick in. I hailed another cab and went home, just feeling fun and buzzed.

"That was nice," I thought to myself. "Finally. A cool, nice girl."

I hope we'll go out again. Or I start finding more cool, nice girls. I just hope they aren't all so young.
