PSHAW.

Oh freaking hell, I'm actually nervous about Saturday. I am a dorkataur. I have no idea what I'm nervous about. Every time I start feeling this way before a date everything turns out FINE. In fact, it seems to help and I usually have a better time.

But of course, I couldn't stop the thoughts going through my head. What if I can't think of things to talk about? What if I can't find anything to do and she gets bored? Etcetera, etcetera, et-frickin-cetera.

Once I thought about it, I took a deep breath and chilled out. Even if everything goes perfectly, there's still little hope of a relationship.

G mentioned that I shouldn't knock long-distance, and I'm not. As some of you know, First Love, whom I was with for a year and a half lived about 7 hours away for most of the time we were together. In fact, we never lived in the same city.

BUT, a 7 hour drive is different than a half-country flight, and both people have to be into it. I've done long distance, and there are aspects that are very rough, but there are also good aspects to it. I was in that relationship for the long haul, but she didn't like the distance. In my experience, most girls don't.

I guess I'm just not getting my hopes up for a long-shot. However, I'm not in the "if it's meant to be, it will be" camp. I think doors are opened for us and it's up to us to walk through them. I believe it is entirely possible to miss the person you should be with because you didn't take a chance... and that's why I'm going on this date, I mean, why pass it up? You do never know.

Okay, you're too stress about Saturday. Take it easy.
Look, it's already Friday, one more day and you will have a great time. Do not get ahead of things, just relax and be ready for tomorrow.

Good luck! :)

First dates are scarey but when it all works out, it's well...so perfect. And that's worth all the nerves. And if it sucks, then just think, you have a GREAT story to tell us girls!

I'm excited for you!

"dorkataur" *snort!*

You are too cute. Good luck on the date. I can't wait to hear all about it. And if it does turn into a long distance relationship, play it by ear, see where it leads, you know?

Love ya!
