Adventures in Dating
I've been pretty bored recently so I decided for whatever reason that dating might be a good way to make things interesting. I'm not really sure what I was thinking.Anyway, this weekend I went on date #2 with an engineer we'll call "B". Date #1 was fine and involved food. I like food so I figured I could handle another date. Last night I went to a charity banquet. But first, because B is apparently one of those rare males who listens when women talk, he took me to Home Depot to get the last few tiles I needed to finish my bathroom floor. He even paid for them - all $2.89 worth. After a stop at his house so he could change, we went to the banquet. There I was introduced to his entire family and most of the family's friends. Oh yes, there is nothing more fun than meeting the parents on a second date. But people kept supplying me with alcohol so I did just fine. Hooray for liquor! Then someone bought his sister a puppy and the dog spent a good hour trying to eat my purse. More distractions! Alcohol and puppies work well. I was also razzed mercilessly by one guy about where I live and where my parents live. Three people apologized for him. I found him highly entertaining. Also, I was quite drunk.
And really this story has no point except that this dating thing will work out as long as alcohol is involved and I remain just sober enough to not do anything stupid.
