Well, I have another first date coming up this weekend. This one is a little different because it is with a guy I have never met. Although, we have been emailing back and forth for about 5 months now. Yes, I met him online, which I still feel a little strange about, just the whole concept of it, but I am going to have to get over that because it really is a good way of meeting new people. Totally non-threatening and you can really get to know someone before you decide if you want to meet. I guess I'm just old fashioned and still wish I would meet my future spouse by some chance encounter, but that really isn't all that realistic. So, I was just browsing around on a christian singles website back in february and I came across his ad and he was just too good to pass up. He's one of those "good on paper" guys. He has everything I'm looking for: He's a Christian, he likes hockey (even if he is a Red Wings fan, I could learn to live with that, at least it's not the habs, that would be a deal-breaker), he's tall, cute, likes working out, likes running, he seems like one of those really nice, sweet guys, and he lives about a half hour away, so that's a good bonus too. He's one of those guys that you wonder why on earth they are still single, but then again, why on earth am I still single?!? I am a good catch, I just haven't met the right guy yet. So, you never know.
So, once again, I am nervous. I am trying not to think about it too much. Since he is coming to my neck of the woods, I have to decide what to do. I made a few suggestions, like mini-golf, bowling, movie with a snack/beverage afterwards on a patio, and he was cool with all those "or a combination thereof" (maybe that means he's excited about seeing me and doesn't want the night to end too quickly). But, on the other hand, I don't want to do the whole marathon date thing, I want him to leave wanting more. So, given the impending heat, I'm thinking that either a movie with an outing afterwards or bowling sounds good. Bowling is so short though, I'd have to have another activity afterwards. Man, so much to think about!
I am getting so sick of dating. I want to be in a relationship already! But I'm not willing to settle for someone who I know is not right for me. I hate all the unknowns and insecurity of the dating world. But, it is exciting at the same time. You never know, the next first date may be the beginning of something special. Or not, only time will tell.

I couldn't do the online thing because I don't trust that they're being honest. I'm sure there are some good people out there, but it's too much "sifting" for my liking. I guess I'm cynical.
That said, good on you for being more trusting than I am. Have fun on your date and we want to hear all about it! :o)
Hey... that Habs comment was a low blow!!! ;)
I went on an internet date once... I was very nervous too! I hope you have a lot of fun, as he is definately a 'good on paper' guy... perhaps he'll be 'good on dates' too! :D
Well, it doesn't seem like I'm going on a date with a complete stranger since we have been emailing back and forth for 5 months. I am nervous though! I hope he doesn't like show up, take one look at me, and run the other direction!
No way C-dub! He'll be regretting that he waited 5 months!!!
