So

I have a date on Saturday night. A blind one at that.

I already know where I'm taking her for dinner and what the post-meal plans are, so I'm not exactly fretting over that. But I am effing nervous.  I guess it's because the prospect of meeting someone face to face for the first time is always a rather unique situation for someone to be put in.

In High School and College we always usually knew/have seen the person that we were twitterpated with. They would catch our eye from the way they looked, talked, or their general presence. When you agree to go out with someone that you haven't interacted with on a face to face basis, it can be a little scary.

I've been talking to her via txt for the past week or so, she seems rather nice. I'm trying not to sabotage myself, as I've been known to do in the past with other ladies.  I think it deals with my own insecurities and other crap, but I'm genuinely trying to keep an open mind with her...even though she uses no punctuation in her texts...and she uses a lot of "!"s in her sentences...

stop. just stop.

See? That's the kind of weird shit that I seek out and notice in other people. And it drives me insane.  Would I base my whole opinion of a girl on how she texts? No, that's completely insane. But what it does do, is give me a weird preconception of her that I think is unfair. I'm rambling, and probably sounding a little weird right now, so I'll end it before I delve into other matters.

I shall give a full account on the blind date after it happens.

Wish me luck!
