The perfect antidote to a bad date is one of the following:
1. Retail therapy (i.e., new clothes)
2. A night with your girlfriends
3. A good date with someone else.
Woohoo, three out of three all in one weekend!
I have been waiting to meet D, a computer engineer (Indian) for a few weeks now. We've hit it off over chat and phone and email, but you just never know until you meet up with someone. Finally our schedules coordinated and we had our first date.
What a gentleman!!! He picked me up and held the door open for me. He took me to a really nice (not cheap) restaurant. He paid. He took me out for drinks and complimented me on my outfit and held my hand. We talked and laughed. Then he paid.
We then took a walk along the Charles River and he held my hand some more and told me what a great time he had. He asked if he could kiss me (normally I would rather the guy just press me up against the doorway and go for it, but there was something sweet about his hesitation. Besides we were by a river and there was no door to be pinned against) His kiss was as sweet as he was, and I mean, how romantic to have a first kiss as you are taking a stroll along the riverside! I swooned a little.
He drove me home and he walked me to my door. He kissed me again and said we should make plans again soon. He would talk to me tomorrow.
Now, see this Nigergia guy? This is how it's DONE!
In other news I bought some new clothes so I was feeling pretty darn cute tonight. And tomorrow I get a good old fashioned Sex and the City watching gab fest with some girlfriends. Dating Diva is having a good weekend!
For the first time in awhile I've got the first-date jitters. It's that deliciously uncomfortable feeling in the pit of your stomach before you go to meet somebody for the first time. For on-line daters such as myself, this has the added nervousness of never having met someone face to face, yet agreeing to spend an evening in his company.
The feeling is filled with hope and fear, nervousness and excitement, all at once. I love it for the burst of adrenelaine it gives me, but I hate it for the anxiousness it can cause. So many questions are running through my mind: will we like each other as well in person as we do over the phone or online? What will we talk about? Will we kiss? Should we kiss? Did he shave?
At the end of the day, I'm thankful to have this feeling again. It means I've broken past the drought phase and I'm back in the swing of things - even if my swing is a bit more like a nervous jerk right now.
