Ditch the Bad Dates for the Perfect Date

There was not a dating app, site or service foreign to her. The forty-three year old driven, business-woman was not only an amazing catch, one of her most redeeming, and in this case cursed, qualities was her seemingly never-ending patience. Horrible first date, after atrocious third date, followed by another horrendous second date, week after week, had finally taken its toll on Nadine. Quite the methodical thinker, Nadine had made the decision last year to approach her love life as she would her business, which was more successful than she could have ever hoped for, which she assumed would be a foolproof plan, in which she would pragmatically cut out the chance of fate, or lack thereof in her mind, and use technology to weed out the less-than-desirables, to find out her Mr. Right, or even a Mr. Right Now. However, she never would have expected her road to finding sweet and exciting male companionship would be paved with one bad date after another! While the thought of sitting through another dinner across the table from some chauvinistic man, bragging about his accomplishments and how rich he was, or an insecure bloke who was obviously threatened by her outrageous success in the corporate world, Nadine decided to ditch the bad dates for the perfect date!
Male companion agencies were not an area of her expertise, but one of her more admirable characteristics, was Nadine’s ability and willingness to ask for help when she knew she needed it, and this time it was from her neighbor, of all people. Rhiannon had lived in the same luxury high-rise on Manhattan’s Upper East Side even longer than Nadine had, and the two became fast friends as they quickly realized they had both chosen to focus on other areas of their lives besides marrying and having children, in addition, Rhiannon’s free-spirited, funky and creative way of life was the perfect complement to Nadine’s more structured and rigid approach. A few weeks ago, Nadine bumped into her friend in the lobby, as Rhiannon and a stunningly handsome man entered the building from what looked to be an exciting night on the town, and it was not until a few days later that Nadine worked up the gusto to inquire about her friend’s gorgeous male suitor. Lo and behold, Rhiannon dished all about the most elite male companion agency in the country, which offered a surplus of strapping gentlemen for exquisite companionship right in New York City. Thus, the idea which would take her dating history to the next level was born, she was about to ditch all of the bad dates for the perfect date!

Putting the finishing touches on a perfectly arranged tray of assorted cheeses, crostinis and fresh fruit, accompanied with red wine, Rhiannon knocked at the door, to which Nadine greeted her “Hi Ri, how are you? Thanks so much for coming over, I’m kind of nervous but I’m super excited!” Rhiannon hugged her long-time friend and sauntered into the immaculately clean apartment, and took notice of the spread “Honey, this is nice and all, but I had something else in mind for tonight…” as she pulled out a bottle of Tequila, two shot glasses and a taco delivery menu, “Girl, this is a party! We are breaking you out of your shell tonight!” The two laughed as Rhiannon poured their first drinks of the night, and as they knocked them back, Nadine instantly felt herself beginning a new path, one of freedom, indulgence and treating herself to what she deserved!

After several hours of drinking, tacos, searching through the Cowboys4Angels website and hearing multiple stories of the different experiences Rhiannon has had with a multitude of premiere male companions in New York City, and around the country, even travelling with them to different parts of the world, Nadine was completely convinced that a perfect date with a male companion was the exact solution to ditching her slew of bad dates, and ditching them fast! Nadine and Rhiannon had narrowed down the choice, which was a difficult task, but Dustin was everything Nadine envisioned for her perfect date, and she could not wait until tomorrow night for it all to begin! Nadine had finalized all of the plans, and arranged for Dustin to meet her at The Auction House, a trendy and classy bar near her house, tomorrow at 7pm for cocktails. As the moments passed, Nadine found herself thinking more and more about her upcoming perfect date, and less and less about the string of bad dates she could not wait to completely ditch from her mind!

The perfect date was going off without a hitch, almost as if it was too good to be true, with Nadine repeatedly thinking to herself “am I dreaming?” Dustin was just as Nadine had imagined and hoped he would be. Handsome, tall, comforting, respectful, kind, flirtatious, dapper, funny and genuinely interested in everything she wished to talk about and share with him. During their before dinner drinks, the two got to know each other, broke the ice, and without question or doubt progressed to the next activity of the evening, an elegant dinner at Vaucluse, one of Nadine’s favorite French Brasseries on the Upper East Side, where the pair shared expensive wine, delectable food and storied about their lives. After dinner, Nadine invited Dustin to her apartment for a nightcap and to relax by the fireplace, and while they took a leisurely stroll back to her building, in the moonlit, crisp fall air, Nadine felt completely at ease and truly cherished by Dustin, as he walked close, with his arm around her shoulders. At the end of the night, while she was not happy about parting ways from her new male companion, Nadine was able to go to sleep with a smile plastered on her face, feeling completely serene and without a worry in the world, because she had finally ditched all of the bad dates, and experienced the absolute perfect date!
