Tomorrow night I am going on a date with this gal that spoke about last week - yep the one that invited me to sit down and share my story with her and her friend. The same one that called the next day and told me I should ask her out. She has caught me off guard twice and both times I have had Amy staring at me and then giving me grief about it. Alas she is not alone, Dave also dishes it out. If that isn't enough I even had Shelly giving me a hard time and she isn't even a sibling. Here's the thing, I don't have any interest and really don't want to go out on this date but I was feeling so much pressure about not being a jerk that I decided I could take her to a basketball game. In the meantime I just get to suffer from the anxiety this entire thing has created. What's worse is that this feeling of being obligated to do something has lead me to schedule a courtesy date. I have been on the receiving end of a courtesy date and it just isn't fun in the long run. So now I feel like I'm in a no win situation - I am a jerk if I don't ask her out and I'm a jerk because I am going on a courtesy date. Great.
I am sure I am just stressing out about nothing. Can you tell that I don't enjoy this kind of thing? I will do my very best to make it a good experience. I will be kind, I will be a gentleman and I will try to keep things as simple as possible. Thank heavens we have tickets to the T-Birds Basketball games. It makes dates easy to plan and manage. Takes a little stress off.
