Someone like me should never go out on a date. All those evil little “issues” compound themselves drastically when you have self-esteem problems.
During:
“Am I dress up enough? Am I over dressed? Is my nervousness showing? Yes it is because I’m rambling on about myself too much and not letting him talk enough. What the hell am I doing here?!!? This fella is way too good looking to ever be interested in me. Shit. I had all these questions that I wanted to ask him that immediately went outta my brain as soon as we said hello. Damn, damn, damn. I hope I don’t sound like an opinionated jerk.”
After:
“Wow. I had a nice time with this guy. I hope I made a good impression. Now, how long to I wait until I call/e-mail to tell him what a nice time I had. Don’t want to seem desperate by doing it too soon! Oh, no. What if he didn’t have a good time?!?!?”
Yeah. You guessed it. I had a date last night.
