She’s done it April 27, 2006

After tons of e-mails, creepy IMs, winks, flirts, icebreakers, profile scanning, forward questions, obnoxious phone conversations and other generally uncomfortable happenings, I have done it.
I am actually going on a date with on of the Online Dating Guys. The Academic.
I’d been annoyed that we hadn’t been able to get together sooner. Our schedules seem to be pretty opposite. He had suggested lunch last week, and I’d canned that idea as politely as possible, since on most days my lunch break consists of me trying not to get crumbs on the keyboard or Diet Coke on the reports.
So, we’re meeting for lunch at an Indian restaurant on Saturday.
I’m excited and cautiously optimistic. He suggested Indian because we did days of e-mailing back and forth while he was out of town and the topic of food came up. He’s a fan of Indian and I like what I’ve had, so it seemed like a fun idea.
I’m thinking a flippy blow out. I’m thinking casual flowy skirt. I’m thinking tightish T-shirt or tank. I’m thinking sexy little sandals.
Nerves.
There is this moment, before we meet, before the date, before the curry. When all I can do is give myself a wink and smile, take a deep breath and hope for the best.
Good luck
Can’t wait to hear all the details!
Like the redesign btw.
There’s nothing like a first date. Wish you a great one! Be sure to let us know how it goes
A wink and a smile and a stiff drink should get you ready. Good luck!
Go get him, girl.
And if he’s not cute, have a nice, “thanks, you’re great, but I didn’t feel the spark — good luck in the search,” email ready to send right off before you start having doubts. And move on to the next one…. it’s a numbers game.
Enjoy. Can’t wait to read about it.
good luck on your date. dont forget to give us details!
Have fun!
Good luck
Just know that we (men) feel the same way.
How exciting! Good luck!
It sure is nice to see you dating again! If you’re having Indian food, just remember to keep some mints or gum handy. The spices are pungent.
The outfit plan sounds good! have fun
Oooo. Cute outfit ideas.
And hey. Don’t be nervous. Have fun!!
Oh, the first online date…GOOD LUCK!
I can tell you from experience I had an equal amount of good and bad dates, but none of them were terrible.
Also, I met my current boyfriend through the internet (a non-dating website…he stumbled on to my blog, we emailed for three months and then finally met). So in other words, it can go VERY well =).
If not, don’t get discouraged. I hope you have fun!
You are going to wow him. I can’t wait to get the details, I know you are going to have fun.
I’m with Dating Dummy on this one. The spices in Indian food make me want to have mints or gum handy.
Sounds like you’re going to look perfect!
Ohhh new blog banner, love it. I’m with the thought to have mints due to the spices but I LOVE that he is adventurous enough to like ethnic foods. Have fun on the date and show off your pedicure in those sexy little sandals.
Love your new blog banner.
And the outfit you are thinking about sounds perfect! Hope its a fun time!
i’m thinking pepto-bismol.
i’m thinking bubble guts.
i’m thinking febreze.
ew. hate indian food. stinky stinky stinky.
that said, i love the new banner. but i still miss the old, old one. *sigh*
oh. right. advice. good luck. don’t be too disappointed if it sucks. you have to go on about 10 online dates (i’ve heard) before finding a keeper. hang in there! you will look great and be charming, of course. that’s all you have to do! woo-hoo!
