Blind Date

[PacificBlue]

So I've been asked out on a blind date. My dating history has been pretty bad. I'm trying not to let the past affect/effect (which one is right?) my future but it's hard. To reap rewards means to risk. I'm standing at the end of my proverbial diving platform and I just can't see to jump off. I've talked to him for about 4 hours total on the phone now and he seems like a genuinely nice guy. I laugh at his jokes, he laughs at mine. We haven't run out of things to talk about yet and the subjects have been all over the spectrum. I haven't felt any red warning flags go up.

Somebody push me off the diving platform...

Jump.

If you don't like the water, get out - but you won't know until you're in there.

Give it a fair shot of being wonderful.

 

[PacificBlue]

Your right ...time to test the waters.

Yes! Give it a shot!

He's auditioned for 4 hours, and passed - he's earned the chance to enjoy the beauty that is you in person, don't you think? And if he fails the in person try-out, hop outta the pool. Go for it, Girlie!

There's no problem...just nervous is all. Normal.

 

[Mr. Bootie]

So when are you going out?

When's the big date? To be nervous is o.k., just don't talk yourself out of it. Relax and have a good time. Any more news to share?

Enjoy!

Have a great time, Pacific!

A word of advice: Go somewhere close to home. If you don't like him or are uncomfortable, you don't want a long, silent drive home! That's the worst!


Otherwise, dress in what you feel good in. Don't forget to wear that bright, beautiful smile that I imagine you to have. And,
