Well, like most of you know (and especially those of you that have talked to me in the last week or so) I had my very first date yesterday.

So, after much worrying and freaking out, we finally managed to agree that we'd go eat. I suggested this sort of asian restaurant, and he said "well... ok" so I asked if there was some other place he'd rather go to, and he said... MickeyD's, if you can believe it. I thought it was kinda... not-date-ish, but if that's what he wants... *shrug* So we went to MickeyD's and sat there almost 4 hours talking, mostly about computers. I had fun, he seemed to have fun, but... it SO didn't feel like a date.

Don't really know what to do about it all, kinda seems like there was no spark so maybe I should just let it go. I did suggest we do it again, and promised to call him after I get my work schedule for the part of december I'll be working, but... Just wish I had some idea as to what he thinks. Maybe he isn't interested, since he was against the restaurant and insisted on paying for himself. Also, everytime we talked about the date he sounded kinda... either really, really shy or against the whole thing or something. Oh well, I'm seeing him on Thursday (a student club meeting), and see what things seem/feel like.

Have a good day everyone,
Setras Smile

maybe it's just nerves on his end? but he still went, so maybe that's something, too. i'll keep my fingers crossed for you, setras. Smile

It'll come to one of these days Setras.
Just feel it out as of the moment.
I think you're doing good.

Good luck on whatever it is you two are doing next!

Two fingers crossed! Smile



You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me

Sometimes things happen in relationships in ways that can surprise you.

When I would meet someone new and want to try and strike up a relationship I would always take things in small steps.

First... to be friends, and new friends at the first of it... with each visit we would come to know each other a little better...

As time went by we would begin to choose more romantic things to do... Now mind you I don't mean picking flowers in the park... We would go to the beach, or to a gallery, a concert or play... As I came to know my new "friend" better I was also able to suggest things to do that I had a relative certainty he would happily agree to...

Sometimes the friendship never grew past the "friends" stage. Other times things would flourish....

I guess what I am trying to say is that if you expect things to come in small stages you both will be a bit more comfortable with each other.

Don't read too much into it. Any date that doesn't end in disaster is a good date. Way too much is made of "spark." You went out, you had a good time and he most likely did as well. Talk on Thursday. See if he wants to go out again. If the idea of a "date" is scaring him, just go out and be friends. Leave the pressure of a "date" behind. If he develops into a boyfriend, great. If not, maybe you've made a new friend. That may not be the goal, but a new friend is never a bad deal.
