OMG I have to go on a ddddate

     I have a date tonight, I don’t think I know anything that could be possibly scarier to me at this point. It’s been quite awhile since my last “real date”. During this time not being in the dating I have been in a complicated friendship with strings attached from months. This relationship took up all my time up all my time and effort for almost a year therefore keeping me out of the dating pool.

     This last date that I went on was with a fireman that I met on the “plenty of fish” dating site. This guy who I am sorry to say name does escape me talked over email, then text message then he one day sent me this message that said “I know how I can make your day better.” My immediate thought was what dirty thing he was going to say back to me when I asked him “what is that?”. But he told me that he wanted to take me on a date that night and let me pick a place. I used to frequent a bar/restaurant called Liberty at the time and knew many of the waitresses so I thought that would be the perfect place to meet up. When I got there early I found us a nice place on the patio and patiently waited for his arrival. He arrives and we begin small talk, we discuss my new car (that I was so excited about) and he makes fun of it. There are mallards all around the patio and he ends up talking to them half the time. At one point we see one that had a wrapped mint in his mouth, I make the joke “maybe he’s trying to pick up chicks” and he doesn’t even pay attention. Next thing you know I look over and there is a couple of the big wigs from the aquarium and another co-worker.

     It just was too much! And tonight I get to go though the meeting someone one new type of date with a fix up from a girl that I work with! Wish me luck….
