That doesn’t seem to happen in NY. It’s a weird place here, relationship-wise.

And awful. But someties it is so wonderful that it leads to period of greater wonderfullness. And that’s what makes it worth it. Good luck :)

Potential for everything to turn out amazing and be the start of a long relationship. And still the potential for the exact opposite to happen.

It made me miss the excitement of first dates. Honestly they can be so much fun! Hope it all works out!

For some reason, no one dated in my high school – I don’t think I knew anyone who went on a date without being in a relationship already. Even though I had a boyfriend, I was forced to go on double dates anyway thanks to my super-protective parents. I go on dates with my husband but it’s not exactly the same. :p

Anyway, this post makes me almost wish I had experienced it – even though there is the potential for the dreaded lull in conversation, it also sounds like a lot of fun and excitement.

ps. my hubby and i do still date, after all these years. we met in september 1992 as college freshmen and we have a date for dinner tomorrow night! long live love and romance.

I do NOT want to get back into that game! (Although, as for our cute “first date story”- it was a blind date, and thankfully a group one, but man, I fell in love with his car (a Camaro!!!!!!!) and his cute butt first. Then I called him and left the world’s most awkward phone message).

Aside from all that, I wish that we lived closer. I would love to go and have coffee and chat books with you someday :)
