Blind Date

I finally decided to give up on fate.

Agreeing with my sister to go on a blind date.

Just finishing my makeup and I'm ready to go.

Off to meet him to have dinner and a show.

I'm fidgety, nervous and I think I might be sick.

She said he's handsome and his name is Rick.

But these butterflies in my stomach, they won't go away.

What happens if I'm with him and have nothing to say?

Trying to take a deep breaths to calm myself down

Now I'm wondering if his eyes are blue, green or brown.

Driving in the car and my hands start to sweat

Thinking what if he doesn't like me so I'm starting to fret.

Oh help me just get through this stressful night.

I am at the restaurant and he is now in my sight.

He's so handsome and gorgeous as far I as I can see.

The butterflies are fluttering and I think they want free.

But it is now that he's smiling that I am completely in awe.

His whole face lights up and I see not one single flaw.

The butterflies can be let go and now are released.

I really like this new man and my worries are ceased.

You are welcome.
It appears a true story.
What is the latest status?

[SuzieQ]

I have never been on a blind date but I could just imagine that is how it would be.

I am glad to know that the date was imaginary.
What extremes may be encountered in a blind date by an inexperienced girl?
I often feel bad by the news of 'date rape'. You may consider 'date rape' as an example of extreme case.Could you give any suggestions for the inexperienced
girls on safe dating?
I appreciate your lovely piece and look forward to hearing more.

I've never really dated. I my husband when I was 15. We did break up for a while when I was 22 but the first guy I met was a stalker and I panicked. I decided I didn't like the dating world and went back to my husband. I guess it would be better to meet in public places and do background checks. It is a scary world.

You have an exceptional experience regarding dating.
You are also very intelligent to differentiate between a stalker and a nice person.
In fact you were saved from harassment of fake people through your intelligence.
You can counsel the young girls and their parents on safe dating.
Meeting in public places and do background checks are rally two important tools of safe dating.
I completely agree with you that dating is a scary world.
