Ah dating. You know I don't think I've ever been on a date before. Well I have now obviously. i meant before before. I mean I probably have, but nothing that we would call that. Hell, even the person that I went on this date didn't realise it was a date until I told them as we walked home.
But for me, it was A Date. The interesting part of this for me was the nervousness that went along with it. I've always heard about people being nervous before dates, but I never really understood why. I mean I guess in some cases there is an element of risk, but in most cases you already know that they like you! In my case, it was made somewhat worse by the fact that last time we saw each other things didn't exactly go well, though I'd had plenty of contact in the meantime to assure me things would be better.
So the plan involved me meeting my date after he finished work, at 11.30pm, and going to have a picnic on top of this secret magical hill near my house. And it was a good plan. I would like to say that i dramatically overcatered,
17catherines style, but that would be a lie. My food was fairly lame and spares, and extremely rushed and last minute, because white i am very good at planning things, I suck at getting things done. More about this in my appt about my psych in a few days.
All this rushing around of course meant that i didn"t even leave my house until my date got to the train station. Ooops, i suck. Fortunately, my date is very understand. So we met on the beach, and went for our walk and all was good. I dont' really want to go into the context of date, other than to say our magical hill has fantastic views, even at night, and there was moonlight and talking and it was all very good.
In terms of how it goes at curing bad moods, I found this particular date reassuring because things weren't as bad as I'd been fearing with this particular person, but I have enough experience with people I'm into to know that being around someone you adore, who feels the same way is one of the best things ever to cure a bad mood. Now shall I tell you about the 'date' I had on *friday* night? :P
