The Date Part 1

[Jdancer21]

Well this really wasn't so much a date as it was a " catching up with an old friend"

 

So basically the night started out by meeting him at his work, the shoe department. I spent 2 hours getting ready fixing my hair, finding something to wear and I thought I looked pretty decent. So he gets off work and we decided we go for a ride, in my brand new car. We talked about chorus and the high school that we both went to and how things sucked, talked about our families and I thought this was going really well. and it did actually. Then we decided it would be best if we just went to the college town (they have shops and resturaunts and [COLOR=red]*[/COLOR][COLOR=red]*[/COLOR][COLOR=red]*[/COLOR][COLOR=red]*[/COLOR] like that) and walk around. He asked me about my love life, which I hate when people ask because basically I end up saying, it's non-existent We talked about our past lovers, THEN he goes on about the girl he is currently seeing and about the situation they have and asked my personal advice, and as a friend I gave him my honest advice, We went to Ben and Jerry's and i paid for his ice cream, no strings attached. just because I felt like being nice. Then we went to an italian resturant, he already had dinner and i didn't eat, so i decided to eat (Yes, I ate in front of him, that took guts.) The whole time he was talking about how all these girls are wanting to talk to him and his current person and how she might be the one and i'm basically thinking to myself "I want to throw this lasagna at you, but it's soo good right now". He told me I was special, and that I'm going to find someone special, b/c apparently they attract each other. I talked about the weight issue suimply because he wanted to know. I drove him back to his place, said he had fun, I did too, gave him a hug, and the end.

 

<---was my reaction to the whole thing. I wasn't expecting anything, I went in there and treated this whole thing like it was a friendly get together, and that's what it was, he has other interest and i have to accept that. However, he did say "When I saw your picture, I was thinking to myself "Wow, that is one sexy woman"" I've been getting that alot with guys

lately

"I don't want to give you the wrong impression, I have a girlfriend already, but you look really good!" or "If I were single I would date you, so don't worry, you'll find someone"

 

I feel like one of those game show losers that get a 2 month supply of pine-sol so they won't feel AS bad for losing. As much as I preach to my friends that "I want to get my opera career started, then i'll find someone", I guess I feel pressured to find someone because everyone else I know is happily in a relationship or currently talking to one and here I am single and all i hear is 'It'll happen for you too, trust me" . The wierd thing is, after that whole shindig... i felt good about myself... i wanted to work harder in my career in my fitness goals, i wanted to become a better person. But hey, I've developed a new best friend, and it's gunna be kick ass when he comes to my school next year.

 

and by the way.. i'll be buying shoes from the Shoe Department from now on.They have GREAT sales:D

Apparently you didnt go into it as you said as just a friend thing, you went into it to make it into a relationship. If you did go into it as just that, then you wouldnt be upset at all with him being with someone.
