After multiple emails from different guys and passing out my # to a few, I have managed to set my first date this weekend with (I will call him Jake-for a little bit of anonymity.) Jake and I spoke on the phone for an hour or so last night to cover a few of the basics. He seemed like a nice enough guy. So far his positives consist of having lots of hobbies and keeping himself busy, we are interested in the same types of TV shows, he’s got a degree/ has good career plans and appears to be intelligent. My cons are that he doesn’t seem like he has a super close relationship with his fam (which I am lucky enough to have ;) They are all out of state. He wasn’t asking me to many questions during our convo (which could have bee a result of my excessive rambling in an effort to avoid a lull in the coversation) but his emails were the same way, and our phone call left me more with a friend type feeling more then anything else. But hey-I haven’t actually even met the guy so who knows! I’m pulling for bowling on our date. It’s a great combo of having an activity to keep ourselves distracted while having the time to get to know each other better. I pretty much suck at bowling so at the very least I will be able to bring the entertainment-everyone likes someone who can laugh at themselves right! Plus, there’s usually beer if it gets super uncomfortable. Most importantly, it’s a very public place-so while bowling balls could be considered a weapon, the chances of actually being murdered are slim to none.
Lesson learned: It takes a TON of wk (and patience) for a girl to get herself a first date, it’s a wonder these guys are single!
