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 ...

Chocolate cake! And, best of luck on the coffee date :) One piece of unsolicited advice: If the conversation becomes stilted, reveal every humiliating thing about yourself. It worked for me! And best of all, she can't use anything against me because I had full disclosure straight off the bat! Turns out, I'm not nearly as horrible as I thought I was.
Oh I know just how scary this can be! It can be fun too :) Let us know how it goes
thanks for the good wishes jennifer :-)
hi aneke
perhaps scary in a sorta good kinda way?
