Wine Not

Still thinking about the guy from the night before, I bucked up for my third date of the week. Aggressive move. He choose a great spot (City Winery) and I was pleased to see him standing outside when my cab pulled up. This guy gets a point for avoiding the awkward introduction stage. We walked in together (like a real couple!) and took a seat at the bar. Saddle up for some wine drinking, indeed. I found out this guy was a fellow east coaster so I already started planning our future together. As I brushed some dirt off my shoulder, he told me that he's never gone out with an east coast girl in Chicago. Okay, this is a good start. Sure, there wasn't that instant chemistry like the guy from day before, but I'm staying open-minded. I immediately took on the weight of the conversation (maybe he's nervous) and fired bestie-like questions. *bestie basically works for the FBI with the level of info she can obtain in 5 minutes
One of a set of two twins. Father was a doctor who passed in recent years. Both sisters married with kids. Brother is 6'4", played basketball in college, has his JD, and is an NBA agent. eeeeeeeeer. STOP. RIGHT. THERE. 
Your twin brother is taller, sexier, and has a much cooler job?? I know I shouldn't have let that affect the date but c'mon, tell me more. He politely talked about his brother and his brother's players which turned out to be the most interesting thing he said all night. Where my jersey chasers at??
All the while, we were doing some good work on red wine and had a friend vibe going. I definitely had no interest in jumping his bones and kept looking at his formerly broken nose (it wasn't, just large- insert foot in mouth). Maybe if I drink another glass, I'll want to kiss him?
I didn't. Unfortunately for him, the booze didn't work.   It was a better date than frisbee guy, but didn't top the night before. He also didn't share the same level of easy humor which would have helped his whole nose situation. We ended the date sharing a cab home (2 stops before you get any ideas) and parted ways.

And cue the text on his way home. We texted back and forth over the weekend although I knew I didn't really see him that way. Maybe his brother's single? He is, I asked.

At this point, I still didn't hear from the chemistry guy so I needed to keep my options open.
