So Close

I went out on a date with a really cute guy and after dinner we ended up going back to catch the end of the basketball game. Once the game ended we began watching another TV show and progressively got closer. By the start of the next episode I notice he had turned toward me; yes this was the moment. I took a deep breath and turned, going 10. He like-wise leaned in,(my heart began to race) as he went 80 and STOPPED...yes we are inches maybe centimeters away and he stops. Not sure what to do and afraid that if I move I'll do something wrong, I held strong. ************************************* Well the episode ended and either of us have moved. At that point (after almost a half an hour) I turned back to the TV and said "Oh I guess it ended. I better get going."

My words were so true that night. It did end and I moved on, however I often wonder what happened there? Did he expect me to come more? Put lip stick on? Maybe pop a breath mint? So many questions that will never be answered!

Me?

I know some people may think that I want to just bash on my dates...not at all! Do I think they are funny? YES and I think everyone should have a good laugh. I love dating and to show you that my date is not the only one to blame here are some of the things I HAVE DONE on a date:

* I once threw up all over my date...I mean all over!
* I attacked (kicked and screamed)at my date in a haunted house
* Oh I did it again, I should stay away from haunted houses on a date
--and the guys were good looking, they didn't want to go out again. That was my bad!
* I have hit more dates then kissed them
* I have talked myself out of dating someone...for reasons I still don't know

Yes, we all do stupid things when it comes to dating, this is a time and place to laugh about it!

I'm better with food...

Most of my conversations are based around one topic and one topic only...so I've had a lot of time to think about this; dating is much like eating. I would like to share what I think and get your input on the subject.

1. You notice/hear about a restaurant that you would like to try. --Meeting
2. You go inside and sit down. --First and even second date. You are doing a quick assessment of the place and feel that you are not in any immediate danger...so you proceed to ordering appetizers.
3. Moving on to soup or salad. --Third date, this is normally where you get more substance and realize that main course could be amazing.
4. Main dish. --This could be several dates..."this is DATING" getting to the meat of the person.
5. Dessert. --The sweet part; this is when you better understand the person and love them.
6. Return again and again...BINGO you have a favorite restaurant!

I know that may seem silly or very me but that is the best way I knew how to describe it...dating is something to be enjoyed and as they say in Europe experienced. I feel that we have become so worried and concerned about dating that we have stressed ourselves out...okay so maybe you all are just stressing me out. If you ask someone out you are not making an eternal commitment. (*deep breath) So let's all relax and take it one step at a time.
