Thanks all.

I went to lady friend's house on Wednesday after work. She told me that she had a special drink to help celebrate some things that have happened at work. Turns out, it was my favorite beer. I think I may have mentioned the brand once or twice. She definitely pays attention!

Well tomorrow is the big night out with the lady friend.

I actually cancelled on her two days ago because, wouldn't you know it, I've had some car overheating issues. I just can't afford to have it looked at right now. So, she offered to drive.

But....

She called me last night and told me that she broke down and had to be towed. Her car is currently in the shop and they promised her that if they can't get it fixed by noon tomorrow, they will give her a loaner car. So as of right now....

It is still on.

I told her that I would put gas in the car since she is driving.

I could have almost predicted this. As soon as I DO find someone to spend time with, I have car issues....not the way I wanted it to go. I'm just glad that she was understanding.

So, right now the plan is for me to drive to her place at 4:00 tomorrow. From there, she will drive to the light festival and then we will head to dinner afterwards. We picked a nice Chinese restaurant that I went to every once in a while in the distant past. She has never been there.

It seems like we have had to jump through some serious hoops just for this one "date/non date."

Wish us luck please.....

I will post an update.

Don't know what I'm going to do about my car....

Hey Tad

You will be absolutely fine, you have got this, just try to relax and enjoy yourself, she is not going to bite ....well, not on the first date I hope he he he ....

You are already friends, you enjoy her company and she enjoys yours, so this is just an extension of that. Be a gentleman ( and I know you are) and you won't go wrong.

Have fun. Looking forward to hearing the update

xoxo

Scared/nervous/anxious

Tad, the aim is to relax and enjoy yourself!!

How about quietly confident, relaxed and optimistic...

Remember, this is just an outing with a friend - there's no need to put any pressure on yourself. Just see it as a few hours of nice company and good food and that's it...

It's always possible that we spend a little more time with people and they may or may not want to take that further, spend more time with us - or not and so on...

But, know that you will be just fine either way and be grounded within yourself.

Hope you have a nice time xx

Tad,

You and your lady friend are going to have a fun and great time this evening. You and your lady friend have a lot in common and I don't see you having any problems conversing. Just be yourself and have some fun.

You are going to be just fine. Take a deep breath and just enjoy yourself.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
