Not that I feel it is the fault of "the date" himself. But, it must be some inadvertent reaction to the pressures of dating. I think this may especially be the case with first dates and blind dates compound it even more. Am I saying this so that you will stop sending me your hungry, your poor, your single, your available male friends.....NO? Because I need all the practice I can get. Why am I saying this, you ask? Well, I had a date last weekend, not two. The other one ended up being this weekend. I went on the dates, enjoyed a nice dinner and good conversation. Afterwards I went home and felt fine, then I woke up the next morning on both occasions feeling congested and unable to breath, with the effects of a massive headache. I can only assume it was some allergic reaction. Needless to say, dating is difficult, on my immune system. But, it is a necessary evil to the next important thing. The actual Dating part--I mean the familiar, love hanging out with each other part, the part where you are comfortable with each other and you don't have to force conversation. The part where you understand and accept each other--good and bad. I can't wait for that part to come. In the mean time I will continue to go on the allergy releasing first dates and I will enjoy them and be grateful for them..as few and far between as they usually are. Because somewhere, sometime, somehow...it won't be so hard anymore. I welcome that day and that date.
