Waiting for my dream girl

Under the circumstances, this post belongs here rather than the “Divas” thread.

Where to go in Indy with your special date?

There’s always the “Eagle’s Nest.” Showing its age but no other restaurant around here rotates or gives as good a view. And when it’s dark and there is a sunset… It’s been called “Indy’s Most Romantic” restaurant for good reason. Associated with the Hyatt, many cities have something similar. And of course “High Velocity” at the JW Marriott is a current favorite although less formal.

Closer to me on the Northside, near Zionsville, it’s “Eddie Merlot’s” (very expensive) and there’s always the “Capital Grille.” Even “Rick’s Boatyard” on the West side along the Eagle Creek Reservoir.

Leading my “go to” list however would be “St. Elmo Steak House.” Situated in historic downtown Indianapolis, it dates to 1902 and is very formal with a strict dress code. If she’s the one then you have GOT to take her there… Many expensive “five star” hotels nearby as well… Incredible food and drinks. Intimate atmosphere. Rumor has it their Shrimp Cocktail helped Indianapolis land the Super Bowl in 2012. Many famous people have eaten there. You will probably see somebody.

So Dove and I have been dating for at least several weeks now. Tonight is the “St. Elmo’s” date. Valet parking for the “ZR-1” too.

Much later that evening, looking across the table at me, her green eyes begin glowing as she says: “Andy, I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you better. You should know by now I’m fine with our age difference (of course, as you know I’m actually much younger than her dad, Hades… ) and I really don’t give a shit that you’re married either… (giggle).”
