Kick it free style, and keep us posted.
If anything funny happens, please don't keep it to yourself.

I'm so excited for you. Congratulations on stretching your boundaries. My sister suffers from severe agoraphobia, I know how debilitating it can be.
Go you!

When I was in college, there was a group of us that had coffee and lunch together in the student union. The girls would always entertain us with stories of the weekend dates. One claimed that a fellow -- one we all KNEW -- picked her up at her apartment to go see a movie and laid out the "Date Ground Rules" before he started. Key among these were that they weren't going to be talking a lot because that's just not his deal. Silence through miles of driving, a movie, and dinner. I think the poor guy was totally intimidated by her as he always communicated fine when we were all around. |

I think the poor guy was totally intimidated by her as he always communicated fine when we were all around. Wow! Good story you got there too!! Thank goodness for the movie to make it not totally 100% weird just 70%. Sort of sounds like my baseball game first and only date that went into silent mode and unfortunately the game went into extra innings. I had a second date this past Monday night with a man that talked a big game and did not deliver, said the F word every 5 words, was negative, divulged all of his health problems from his back problems due to a plane crash he survived (the plane literally ripped in half and plummeted to the ground) down to the nose bleeds, he was not overweight but he was in bad shape from living a sedentary lifestyle, zero body strength, he didn't like any vegetables or salad, the list goes on and on. Needless to say no third date. Text the next day: Me: I don't think I'm right for you. Him: just like that? Me: Yes Sorry Creel there I went again! That one slipped out! My bad! |

That one's great! I've always been shocked at how little trouble folks put into making sure the person you're with has a good time. Usually, if anyone is having fun, everyone is! And this applies to non-dates with friends or even passing acquaintances. Obviously that last guy had nothing on the ball and was probably depressed or something. But sometimes you meet folks that are probably OK in most ways, but they simply cannot enjoy themselves. Sad really. I'm thinking one of these guys is going to be a shocking blast for you. And if you're enjoying it, you can bet he is!!! |

However, if you want a funny date story (though not sure it's funny, just weird) I have a blast from the past if you are interested. |

PS: I know they're not dates -- these social events you're speaking of -- but I'm sure you'll have some fun stories if I can just get you to share. Car, I KNOW you. And I know what someone like you does to some folks. And that affect can sometimes be funny. Just like the gag rule on the date. |

And if you're enjoying it, you can bet he is!!! Seriously that just skims the surface on how bad it was. I did feel bad for him and I felt bad that I had to send him that text but I actually did learn from my bad marriage and the good folks here at ILIASM so I could tell that it would never be a compatible relationship. I was actually proud that I had the courage to be straight forward and honest and to put myself first. Yes one day I'll meet the right one and I'll totally rock his world! |

Congrats on a) recognizing it, and b) killing it swiftly and unceremoniously. Now, assess whether you should have even given him a second date. Be relentless! ;-) |

Be relentless! ;-) Yes second date was needed because first was so quick just a drink but he talked a big game and did not walk the walk. Maybe for future dates I have learned some key questions to ask like: 1)Do you like salad? 2) How many nose bleeds a year do you experience? 3) Have you ever been in a plane that split apart and crashed? Just a few new questions to add to the list! Seriously I'm journaling all of this! At the end of the year I may have a very good stand up comedy routine. Being a teacher for so many years I have zero fear of public speaking. When I visit your city I'll have front row seats for you. |
