Dinner went amazingly well, got along great. Every bit of time spent with that girl makes me like her more... I hope she's getting as much out of it. Food was expensive (as was wine) but worth it, really excellent... for the information of others, I started with mixed greens with pecans and pear in a vinaigrette that had a hint of basil to it. She said it was the best salad she'd ever had, I was not quite so enthusiastic but it was still very good. My pasta, a farfalle in wine cream sauce with smoked salmon and scallops, was incredible. Probably the best seafood pasta I've ever had. I usually don't eat seafood, but it was amazing. We finished with pumpkin cheesecake with a sort of chocolate shell kind of thing. It was great, but I was pretty full by then. Service was superb and very italian. The wine list there is impressive (go to the website at villadellupo.com and check it out). Anyway we certainly don't agree on everything but they're all little things, and we have quite a bit in common ... including an enjoyment of fine dining, so I have a free-date-pass whenever I want, I just have to introduce her to a good restaurant. No real awkwardness or anything all evening. I actually planned to give her a kiss goodnight (and I think it would've been well received) but when we pulled up to her building a security guard was there eyeing my car suspiciously, so I figured no go. Still, that couldn't put a damper on the evening. I plan to see her again monday! Stoked!
