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.
