Date Night

Let me begin by saying, I HATE DATING! I hate the awkward uncomfortableness of the whole process while you try to get to know someone and decide if they are relationship material. That being said, I had a really good first date last night. I met this guy while I was out for my friends birthday. It was an interesting crowd there, and I didn't know a lot of the people who were there for my friend so it was a little awkward for me. But then I noticed a guy sitting at the bar in a Dunder Mifflin t-shirt. I thought that was pretty entertaining so I decided to go over and talk to him. We hit it off pretty well, exchanged numbers, texted for a couple weeks (because I'd been busy), and finally went out yesterday.

I went into it with the attitude of "whatever happens happens". I had no expectations and wasn't really excited leading up to the actual day of. I was relaxed and open-minded. We met at the frying pan (an outdoor bar on a ship in the city). I'd never been so it was a good choice on his part, and yesterday was a gorgeous day, so it was nice to be outside drinking beers getting to know one another. We stayed there for a while, then moved on to another low key bar. We had good conversation, and I had a really good time. I will admit that I kissed him at the end of the night, and we made plans to see eachother again soon.

I'm happy that I have adopted a low-key attitude about the whole thing. I am happy to see where this can go, but if it doesn't end up going anywhere that's fine too. I have a renewed attitude about dating, and after more than 3 years of being single, though I am definitely ready for a relationship, its no longer my main concern. I'm focusing on me and creating healthy priorities for my life. As for a boyfriend, it will happen when its meant to happen, and I'll welcome it when the time comes! As for now, I will enjoy going out on dates, meeting new people, and enjoy the ups and downs of dating.
