So, I met this boy when I was out and about--two weeks ago. I was very drunk (damn you makers mark!). I screamed at him--loudly--that we should be friends. We exchanged digits. I meant nothing more by this transaction, than to acquire a new friend.
Second Part Digression: As depicted in THE RAM, I am a rather aggressive gal. But not only in dating, in everything. So, when I meet a new person that I really want to be friends with I can come on a little strong. Two examples. When I wanted to be friends with one of Alejandro's friend (and first follower of this blog), I vaguelly recall drunkenly screaming (once again. pattern?) that we should be bffs. Gladly, this person is really awesome, and played along and now we're friends!
Another example: Accidental Lesbian Date. I went to a lesbian block party during Pride Week. I've been known to check out the ladies, and many of my friends are lesbians and I thought it would be fun. It was super fun. However, my lesbian friends and I met a chic. I was not in any way attracted to her, but thought she was awesome. Went out of town for awhile and, upon my return, I promptly contacted Potential New Friend (PNF) because she seemed cool. PNF wanted to hang out that Sat. I said sure, whatcha wanna do? She said a late night stroll around the neighborhood. I said, why don't we do something more exciting (ie. drink). She countered with...mini-golf. It was not until this moment that I realized I had walked into a date. In retrospect, I was pretty dense. Clearly, we met at LESBIAN BLOCK PARTY and I came on strong to be her friend (calling right when I got back from vacation) and, well, in short I blame myself. I called off the "date," and we have not spoken since.
So, in short, I am overly aggressive and often naive. But in this following situation, I feel like I didn't come on too strong, etc. Check it out:
So, met this guy. Exchanged digits. He was cool and I'd consider going on a date with him, but he's probably not gonna be the love of my life. So, last night I get a text from him that says, "Wanna go to yoga with me tomorrow?" Do I want to go to yoga with a potential new friend? Of course! I love yoga! I love PNFs! Early this morning (7am) I respond: "I teach then. Another time?" Him: There is another class with that teacher on thurs from 6:15 to 7:15 (pm). also...if not let me know your teaching schedule and we'll work our date in around that!" Half-asleep, I do not read this text closely and see yoga on Thursday and think yes. Respond with: "Perfect." I fall back asleep. Why we were texting at 7 am is beyond me...
I wake up a couple hours later and re-read the text. I notice the our date part. Does this mean he thinks it is a date? Or, am I overthinking this shit? I'm okay if it is a date, but it is weird because I didn't consent to a date. So, am I in another accidental date situation? Thoughts?
Mmm, girl, that sounds like an accidental date to me. I can't think of any guys that would use the phrase "our date" not referring to a romantic date, unless they were an 18th-century fop.
ReplyDeleteand he might be an 18th century fop, maybe even a Mr. Darcy. Then again I think you would hate Mr. Darcy.
ReplyDeleteDate! Date! Date!
Thanks for the comments,dudes.
ReplyDeleteBut really, yoga on a first date? Sweaty, bendy, sweaty yoga? The antithesis of romantic.
Also, "date" has been pushed back to next Thursday. I will keep you posted.
Wait...isn't "sweaty bendy sweaty" kind of the perfect date, wink wink.
