So last night I went on a coffee date with a guy I've been chatting with on plentyoffish.com. He was very funny and we got along great! We laughed and talked so long, I was late meeting my sister, who I had made plans to see. In fact, she had called me three times on my cel, checking to make sure I wasn't stuffed in the trunk of this guys car or something. (I didn't want to answer my phone cuz it's rude, but I did pick up the third time, getting the hint that someone was trying to get a hold of me) I felt so bad, I was only 15 minutes late or something, but she was ready to hop into her car and drive to Starbucks to make sure I was okay. She ended up getting a hold of me, and then the battery in my phone died. Anyway, after borrowing this guy's phone to call her back, I said goodbye to my new friend and hooked up with my sis, who lectured me on the safety precautions one should take when Internet dating. I did tell her who I was with and where we were going to be, I took my own car, and met in a public place, but I should have made sure my phone was charged, and I should have kept my eye on the time so it would have clicked that she was trying to contact me. Sigh. This dating thing is hard!
Okay, so I said this guy was really great and funny and had some very thoughtful and intelligent things to say. We'll see how it goes...
