First Dates

Perhaps it is because I have been on the dating scene for far too long. Maybe it is because I have unreasonably high expectations. (This is my sister's theory!) My theory is that it is because I am a magnet for unavailable and unstable men...but the conclusion I have reached is that I HATE first dates.

Let me recap some of my first date experiences:

*Taken through the drive through at Taco Bell.

*Date hungover from the night before and could not eat at dinner.

***Footnote: These are both men I ended up dating***

And the topper...a man who asked if I had endometriosis and was hoping I said yes!

So I feel like I have the right to be cynical before first dates. Last night, I had a first date and I was literally dreading it. I kept replaying in my mind all of the things that could go wrong.

To my surprise... it was great! Went to dinner. Had a few drinks while the Royals were playing. Good conversation. Lots of laughter. No talk of my uterus. Overall, it was a great time. So now maybe I can look forward to my second date.

(which by the way is already planned...things are looking up!)
