Date 103 (Tinder date 93)

Name: Jihad
Ethnicity: Chilian
Date rating: 8.5/10
For a tinder date this was pretty good in my opinion. He invited me to drink with himself and his flatmates/friends. All were from Chile and spoke spanish. Everyone was friendly and accommodating of me. They share some of their Pisco (a little like Whiskey), a famous spirit from Chile, with me. They spoke a little spanish with me. After the pre-drinks we went out to dance in the city. This was also a good time. I ended up going home with this one. I felt there was a reasonably level of attraction between us and i'm trying to be more relaxed and try different things. Did not regret =) He invited me over the next day. I declined the offer mainly due to hangover and wanting to have a chill Sunday. If he would like to met again I am open to that.

Date 102 (Tinder date 92)

Walking towards the pub and I see my tinder match, he turns around and recognises me to. Off to an okay start. I estimate he is just shy of 6". He is well dressed - a dress shirt and business pants. He has dark hair and an attractive face. Seder is from Turkey and has been living in Sydney for 2 years. He is an engineer by trade and is currently working in construction and studying English.

We had previously decided on the Strawberry Hills Hotel for a drink. We head there and he shouts the drinks. He is drinking beer and myself wine. One thing I have noticed is that men from Australia are generally happy to go one for one on the drinks. He'll buy one, then i'll shout the next round. Guys from other countries (Turkey, South America, European countries) tend to want to pay for all of the drinks. I wonder if Aussie blokes pay for the drinks when they are on a date with a foreign lady? 

Seder's English is reasonably good and I'm impressed. As I am learning Spanish, I understand the difficulties of learning another language. We have some conversation over a drink and then he asks me if I would like another. The bar is quite loud, so I ask if he would like to head somewhere else. He had mentioned he likes Rock music. I suggest Frankie's Pizza - a rock bar on the other side of the city.

We walk to the bar and have some conversation on the way. I notice he walks slowly and he takes in the sights of the buildings. He tells me one building on clarence street is very impressive. He seems like a nice guy. We get to Frankies and he shouts more drinks. I offer to pay a round, he declines the offer so I let him pay. We watch live music for a couple hours, we dance, we kiss. I'm not hugely attracted to him but we do have a nice evening. He tells me he really liked the music and the pub. Frankies has a wicked vibe, I have to agree! He says he has mainly been going to Latin bars in Sydney and this is the first rock bar.

He walks me to the train at 1.30am and makes the effort to come right down to the platform and wait with me. Much the gentleman! =)
