Well its been about 6 months since my ex and I broke up after 3 years. Its weird how breaking up gets harder when you're older, especially longer term relationships.
I don't know why im posting this, I guess nervous energy or something, but im going on my "first" date after becoming single......my first date in a little over 3.5 years.
My friends say, "well you had a g/f, you went on dates all the time...." but its not the same. I feel so out of touch with dating, other than just pay for everything and open the car door for her. lol
And I'm not so much worried about how to act, I always act like myself.....its those awkward moments during a date that I forgot how to handle. For instance, when you are dropping your date off at her house at the end of the night, in my case her co-op building, do I unbuckle? shut the car off? do I park in front and jump out to let her out/walk her to the door? or how about slowing down to like 10 mph and telling her to "tuck and roll".
And dont even get me started about trying to figure out whether shes looking to date or just be friends......i dont think i ever knew how to figure that stuff out.
I dunno......at least our first "date" is cool. She likes hockey (the islanders) and has never been to a game. I can get center ice tickets to any islander game I want.......its better than dinner and a movie, no? in the end, at least i get to drink beer and watch hockey with a pretty cool chick.
This is pretty comical.......what have i become?
Cliffs:
1)broke up with ex of 3 years 6 months ago
2)have first date in 3.5 years thursday
3)I'm a wuss
4)Lets Go IS-LAN-DERS!!!!!
UPDATE
Date went great. Probably one of the best times I've had out with a girl in a long time. Nothing happened so if you wanna stop reading now, go ahead.
But surprisingly my nervousness went away within 2 minutes of picking her up. Girls love having the car door opened for them, so any youngins reading, always do this. I scored major smile points when I did it.
Game was good, she drinks beer
Sam Adams too. But she pees too much LOL. She missed 3 of the 5 goals scored. granted two goals were scored within a minute or two in the second period. part of me thought she was calling someone each time she went, but she left her phone and her bag at her seat......guess beer just makes her go. lol
Regardless, the game wasnt that much of an issue. we talked through most of it, the seats really blew her away b.c it was her first game and we were really up close. shes definitely the perfect mix of a mans man and a girly girl. its pretty intense. nothing beats a hot chick yelling "punch him in the face" lol
So the game ends, islanders blew, and we're walking to my car. A little buzzed from the sams, but laughing about the story of how she walked into a pole, drunk, and chipped her front tooth. so im assuming we're going home b/c she gets up early, and she says "so are we going home?" and I tell her its your call. she then proceeds to take me to some coffee house I never been to and we sit down and get tea and dessert. she orders the Triple Z.....triple z meaning zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. chamomile tea. she wanted to relax b/c she was so hyped up shed never fall asleep when he got home.
well she got her wish. within 10 min of finishing it, she was yawning and just looking sleepy. so we leave, even though she didnt want to. we get in the car. so i'm driving her home and we're talking, but I can tell she's just wiped. so I lean over, recline the seat and give her my sweatshirt as a pillow and say goodnight. she dozes off for a little and then we get to her place.
I nudge her, she wakes up. apologizes for sleeping etc etc. thanks me, said she had a great time and hopes to go again sometime. nice kiss on the cheek and a hug and tells me to text her when im home safe.
and thats it.
so this is where im at. i'm pretty much at peace with it all. I showed her the best time I can, so the balls in her court. i'll see her at the bar (work) saturday night. so we'll see what happens.
