jeneet: If victory is certain then even a coward can fight, But the real brave is the one who still dares to fight when his defeat is certain.

Acacia Koa: Oned of my clients set me up with a neighbor last Saturday. I'd call him the day before to set up the meeting and he talked non-stop without taking a breath. I thought, "Okay, he's nervous. I'll give him a chance." We met the next day at a local restaurant. He saw me and judged me not up to his expectations in 1/2 second. We went in for tea and dessert. He never asked one question about me, but continued to talk non-stop about himself. It stung to be rejected so sumarily, but in the end
Acacia Koa: Hi. Was in the middle of your "Snow Blind" from "A Red Hot New Year" when I came to the second paragraph on page 220. "The line of fur (FIR) trees -- Aspen..." Somebody wasn't paying attention during editing. Fir are evergreen and Aspen are deciduous. Sorry to be so picky, but it stopped me in my cross-country ski tracks. Other than that, lovin' the story.

The more things change...

  • Mood: Very Good

There's got to be an easier way.

Okay, so I’m officially dating.  I have been on actual dates with actual men, and none of them said anything whatsoever about my nipples (please refer to earlier post).

What’s it like, dating after such a long hiatus?  In the immortal words of Yogi Berra, it’s déjà vu all over again.  What I mean is, despite my theoretical security and maturity and self-confidence and worldliness, I AM A COMPLETE WRECK ABOUT IT.

I never know what to wear.  Will I be too dressed up or too casual?  Does this shirt make me look fat?  Is that one too low-cut?  How dressed up will HE be...what if we don’t “match?”

Oh, no, he wants me to suggest a restaurant.  Now, do I pick someplace really casual, so he isn’t under pressure, or try something exotic to see if he’s adventurous, or someplace really elegant, to see if he will think it’s too expensive?  Why doesn’t HE just pick the place?

Should I assume that he will pay?  Should I offer?  Should I bring money with me just in case?

Am I talking too much?  I have a tendency to babble under pressure.

While guzzling an enormous martini might make me feel calmer, it might also make him think I’m a complete lush.  Or is he trying to get me drunk?

Okay, so the date went swimmingly.  I had fun, and I’m absolutely sure he did, too.  So, why hasn’t he called?   Is he waiting for me to call him?   Will he think I’m too needy if I do?

Oh!  The phone is ringing!  Is it...damn, it’s my sister.  No, really, I’m happy to talk to my sister.  I just thought it might be...

Oh, hell.  So much for maturity.
