Well, I should never post anything about going on a date. This is simply a follow up post to update last nights post where I proudly discussed my big date. I thought it had gone well but there were a few things that I later thought I could have done a little better but nothing drastic. I had sent a little thank you text afterwards, said I enjoyed the evening and suggested that perhaps we might do it again sometime. At some point this afternoon I got a reply to to that text and was told that there was no spark that would lead her to want to go on another date with me. She hopes we can still be friends when we see each other. Well, yeah, sure. Why would we not be friends. I did thank her for her honesty and said we absolutely can be friends. I really have no problem with what she said and am quite thankful that she didn't worry about sparing my feelings. That just makes things so much easier.
So, back to me. I knew I should have worn my bedazzled jeans. They create all kinds of spark. Oh, that's right, I don't have bedazzled jeans. Maybe I need a pair. I don't know, do guys actually wear bedazzled clothing? I don't. Apparently that could be problematic for me. Bruce Springsteen likes to sing a song about dancing in the dark and how you can't light a fire without a spark. Looks like I need to work on my fireworks a bit, even if we're just dancing in the dark...
As I think about it, I thought the date was good and quite enjoyed her company. Sure I would love to do that again. I don't date a lot and having a night out with a lovely lady is a nice break from being at home with the three kiddos. Not saying I don't enjoy and love my kiddos because I surely do love them, only trying to create a perspective. She doesn't have kids and spends a lot of time with other adults doing a variety of things. I walk away saying "that was great, I loved the conversation blah blah blah". She probably found it rather a boring - sparkless if you will - evening. I will learn from this... I hope.
