Lesbian Dating: The actual Date

Lesbian Dating: The actual date!

The last few days have been incredibly difficult on me. For someone who is as out going as I am I really shouldn't have this much anxiety regarding dating. Give me a room full of people any day of the week and I'm comfortable, put me up on a stage in front of hundreds and I'm at ease, put me in a room with a cute girl I am interested in and I turn into Elmer Fudd. I suppose it is the not knowing that is the crux of the matter, where uncertainty and desire converge to create the perfect mix of “fuddness” in me. A room full of people who cares what each one thinks or knows for that matter, a single beautiful lady there is a significant amount of caring. I suppose it shouldn't be a shock considering I turn into a screaming idiot when I see a spider. It's the little things that are the hurtles in life.

I've done the online dating before and had a an eclectic bunch of really bad dates. They ranged from how stoned can one person be and still function, to a date that instead of perfume, put her ankles behind her ears. There is someone out there for everyone and those girls weren't it for me. I questioned my sanity as I zipped up my boots and headed out the door on my date. I had never really thought of myself as normal and it takes all kinds to make the world go around. I was also under heavy threat from my Karate instructor that if I repeated the past mistakes I had made I'd be unable to train do to a body cast. I think he was joking, but considering he has the knowledge and my fondness of my limbs I decided I'd better listen to him.

We decided to meet in a tiny coffee shop in the centre of Oshawa. The establishment seemed clean, and served terrible coffee. I decided that I was not going to be nervous, or at least appear as nervous as I actually was. My family has been drilling the idea that I am awesome into my head for weeks now and sometimes I actually sit back and believe them. So with my families voices in my ear I bravely sat down at the table where my date was waiting.

The conversation was great and we left the coffee shop after several hours, so I could play tour guide of Oshawa. Don't laugh, I love Oshawa. I may not have been born here, but it is my home town. Much laughing ensued when I took her to a local dollar store and proved that Yup Dollarama sells prophylactics, pregnancy tests and ovulation kits. We decided to meet again later to go to the local LGBT establishment. There is much debate if that constitutes the second date or if it is still the first considering it occurred in the less than 24 hours. That date ended well as well.

So for all those people who were dying of curiosity ... It actually went very well and I didn't make a complete ass out of myself, which was why I was awesome on Monday. Hopefully our third date or second depending on which stance you take I am hoping to be as equally productive :D. Here's to doing things that scare you.
