The Blind Date Mystery

I have a facebook account. And as a way of embracing my turning over a new leaf (well, sort of). I wore my heart out on the status/shout out portion of my facebook account.

Earlier today, I basically announced how my life would be like the next month. I said there, "Counting the days... Meeting my new boss. Then a blind date. Then Book Geek. Then birthday. Then last day. Then first day."

I don't know if it's because I have previously announced my move to another company that people basically commented on the blind date portion.

I never received as many comments as this particular shout out. I am amused by it.

But yes, I am moving on. Not just professionally but in my personal life, as well. I have hidden in my little space for a while. Did some wound-licking, some damage control, building again from the ruins of the bad decisions I have made in the past.

Think of it as moving forward in the road of life. The green light has gone on. It's time to move.

As for that blind date. I don't know yet if I will spill all the details here. It can swing both ways, good or bad. So I guess we'll see. Anyway, it'll be this weekend. Stay tuned. If i don't say anything about it in the next couple of posts, then I guess I decided not to say anything at all.

Nervous? Actually, nope. I don't look at it as a chance for romance but just a night out with friends, it being a double date, anyway. I don't see the wisdom in vexing over the whole will he like me, will I like him, will he turn out to be a serial killer, will he think I'm a psycopath business.

till the next post then.

Oh, but I am still hoping that you WILL post some details, whether good or bad. I went the blind date route only once because my first experience wasn't all that good. I just wanted to tell myself that at least I tried it once (I never was a blind dater, I just had a really persistent friend who insisted we'll hit it off. NOT.).

Hope yours will be an enjoyable night.

Let's see. I have no expectations so I cannot even frame it in my head what to write.

If a seed of a post gets planted, you will definitely read about it.

Thank you for wishing me an enjoyable evening. Can you believe that someone actually said she'll pray for me and another told me not to sell myself short?

I had to explain that, by definition, a blind date is going out with someone you haven't met before. That's all it is.

I do appreciate their concern but it's really amusing the way some friends gave it more weight than it actually has.
