My first post speed dating date

Last night I went on my first date that was a direct result from speed dating.  Of course I've done some kissing as a direct result of some of the singles parties, but this was my first actual date with someone who I met speed dating.  The date was with R2 who I met at Karaoke Lover's speed dating.  R2 is 4 years older than me.  He is divorced and has 2 daughters.  He does pharmaceutical sales and he lives in Westchester.  For many NYC'ers this would be a turn off, but since I live in the NW Bronx, it's not too bad.  He actually lives closer to me than someone in Brooklyn would.  R2 decided to take the train into the city since we were going to meet for drinks and we met at Grand Central.  From there we used our phones to find bars and actually found one nearby that did KARAOKE!  Why not, since we had that in common.   So we each put in songs to sing and got some drinks.  While we were waiting we chatted about our lives and it turns out that we have a lot in common.  The bar was crowded with a lot of karaoke regulars, so it was about 40 minutes before our names were called.  So....R2 told me about a bar in Westchester that he goes to and has won their big karaoke contest at.  When we were at speed dating we did Bust A Move together, so he didn't actually sing.  When he got up to sing, he had an ok voice, but certainly not one I'd write home about.   I wonder about the people he competed against.  Fortunately he is not trying to be a professional singer, and I really enjoyed talking with him, so it didn't matter to me what he sounded like...it was great that he wanted to participate.   The thing that sucks about the Metronorth is that the last train leaves at about 1am, so we had to end our date so he could get home.  I walked with him back to Grand Central and we made plans to go out again.  When he leaned in to give me a kiss it was very proper and chaste.  Perfect for a first date.
