First dates can be fright­en­ing. It’s worse when it’s a blind or online date. This week­end I went on my first date from eHar­mony. I was ner­vous for a cou­ple of rea­sons: 1. It was my first date since March from an online dat­ing site and 2. I was feel­ing a lit­tle down cause of how my ex totally dissed me. How­ever, I tried to brush these fears aside and be optimistic.

It was pour­ing that day. I usu­ally see rain as wash­ing away all your trou­bles and the past, so I was kind of happy that it was.  When I was in the car, I saw this tall, good-looking guy going into the cof­fee shop that we were meet­ing at.  I hoped that it was him.  When I went in, he smiled at me.

“Clemen­tine?”

I nod­ded.  He asked what I wanted.

“Medium Caramel High Rise.”

He smiled.

“That’s what I ordered.”

I thanked him for the cof­fee. Side Note: ALWAYS thank a guy for pay­ing, even if it’s a piece of choco­late. They do remem­ber this kind of stuff.

We sat down and talked.  While he talked, I had to con­tain my smile.  It dawned on me that I had but­ter­flies in my stom­ach.  This is a feel­ing I had not felt since G., so I was mesmerized.

Two hours flew by and we were still talk­ing.  He was hang­ing out with his friend, who had not gone out since his baby was born, so he had to leave. 

Another Side Note:  A guy who is sur­rounded by mar­ried friends is usu­ally more apt to want to set­tle down com­pared to guys who just hang out with other sin­gle guys. 

We made plans for our sec­ond date.  It has been a very long time, but I am excited for this one.  Let’s just hope that he calls.
