Anyone care to give me a stroke?

You know, I really ought to be above this kind of thread, but I'm totally not. So I hope y'all will humor me.

I have a date today (second date) with a really great guy. The problem: through various circumstances I have over-analyzed things to death and have managed to completely doubt myself (again). So...anyone want to stroke my ego? :)

This whole dating thing is scary scary. It's been a long time (over two years) and I'm pretty freaked out by the whole thing. I'm hopeful, too, when I'm not all yucky cynical.

Anyway, wanna help a girl out? I've got a few hours to kill before I drive down to see him, and I could really use the boost.

:kiss:

:heart::heart::heart:

You'll have a wonderful time!

Hurry and tell us all the naughty details!
 
When I was a dum high school student I was seriously smitten with the girl who tutored me in math.

One day she brought a plate of blueberry muffins to our session. She offered me one.

I ate it, and it was worse than awful. Like eating straight salt & baking soda. She watched me eat it, and I acted like it was her pussy.

She offered me another. Then another. I ate the whole batch.

After I ate the last one she expressed her surprise that I liked them. I swore they were excellent.

Then she revealed that a girl in her home ec class made them and no one would eat them.

I said, "You didnt make them?" "No."
 
Thanks all. I'm on my way to get a pedicure and then I'll be on my way to my date. See y'all tomorrow. :)
 
I have the same problem Sophia Jane. I tend to think too much when it comes to this situation, so just be yourself! And try not to think at all! In the immortal words of Hitch (not a true quote cause I don't remember the exact verbiage) - you already got him to say yes!

Just have fun. :rose:
 
Thanks everyone. You've helped alot. Not that I necessarily feel differently about my day, but you've reminded me that I have alot to offer anyone and I needed that.
Plus, I know y'all aren't just blowing smoke up my ass. It helps that you all know me so well and have seen me through such shit.

But can you believe I just fucking burned all the dessert for tonight? Or rather...the oven did. I take no blame for a defective oven. *sigh* Should never have bragged about my kitchen skills.
Fastest, easiest desert - yummy and 'relaxing' too: just fold together equal parts of advocaat and thick cream. Chill it in the fridge while you eat the main course (or for longer).
 
The strokes I would want to give might make him jealous.

Desireable you....:kiss:
 
How was the date, SJ? Everything perfect, I hope! :rose:

I had no reason to worry. It was a great date. Better than, actually. And since I'm not the kind of girl who kisses and tells, all I'm going to say is that there's alot I'm not saying. ;)

Much love to everyone who encouraged me and believed in me. I really don't think I'd be on this journey if it weren't for you. And it's definitely thanks to MagicaPractica that I started the ad. I'm scared to death, but I'm so so glad to have you all "behind" me.
 
I don't know you very well, but I've been watching this thread.

Woohoo! Yippee and yay! So glad things are finally going well for you.

:kiss:

*hugs* I'm so happy for you, hon. :rose:

(Are you sure that isn't Tx "behind" you?)
 
Stay in control, but go with the flow.

There are nasty people out there - and relationships have no guarantees - but in my experience, far more folk are maybe misguided, but genuine, than are actively evil.

Take care for yourself, but if you and he get on, give him the benefit of the doubt. It's far more likely that he's potentially a lover than otherwise.

Whoopdeedo for you!
