coffee date data

i have a coffee date on thursday. indeed i do ...
and not with an internet introduced stranger either!
a genuine gay friend of a straight friend. i have even
met her once before, i liked her, she was educated,
intelligent and accent less. accent less is quite important
for first meetings! saves all that ... "i'm sorry, excuse me,
would you mind saying that again" stuff.

of course i am as nervous as a race horse at the starting gate.
bumping into someone at a friends place is rather less
stressful than a "coffee date". just the two of us, eyeing
each other across coffee and cake. no beloved pal to banter
on about everything and nothing, filling any awkward silences.



hah! nothing ventured, nothing gained - roll on thursday!

now ... should i have a cream scone or chocolate cake ...
