I'ma Little Nervous

So I know I've put on here a couple of times that I am doing the online dating thing. I had my first date in over 5 years! (Yeah, I feel slightly pathetic having that out there but here's to being completely honest.) Let's just say that one did not go over so well. Eh honestly, after he arrived 25 minutes late, I was a little over it; so I might not have been "on" as they say. Either way, that match is closed and I'm on to the next. Or the next two. I actually have two dates this weekend. And needless to say, I am incredibly nervous!

So the first date is tomorrow. We're going to eat dinner or "chat" at Longhorn and then go see Hugo in 3D. Yeah I picked the movie. But I really wanted to see it so I figured "What the hey." Back up a little bit. I was matched with a 30 year old English teacher. I talked to this guy online for about two weeks. We sent lengthy emails answering each others questions (favorite food? Least favorite movie? How do you spend your free time?) going back and forth. He seemed like a nice and interesting guy. So, after 2 weeks, I was okay with giving him my cell. I figured: We emailed for 2 weeks; we'll text for 2 weeks or so...Nope he went and called the next day. And I must say, it was really awkward. :-/ Not sure if it was just that I was in a hurry trying to get to my friend's house (we were going to trivia & I was running behind and caught in traffic); or if he just wasn't as interesting as I'd initially thought. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Then there's the 27 year old finance guy. We only sent like 3 messages and they were more straight to the point. When he asked if I wanted to meet up/exchange #s, I was a little more hesitant. But then he texted me and it wasn't near as awkward as I had thought it might be. He asked if I wanted to do a movie or dinner and drinks. In the end we decided to do Chicago Q (which my boss has been RAVING about for weeks now. I can't wait to try it) and then we are going to see Immortals. I have been DYING to see this movie since September/October. Whenever it was they first put out previews for it! lol Finance Guy isn't as--I don't want to say pushy, but you get the general idea--as Teacher Guy. 

Now here's the thing. I have soo much to do tomorrow: haircut/highlights, mani/pedi, mystic tan, get at least one new outfit....Shew. I wonder if I can get everything done! I am glad that there's so much to do, because maybe it will keep me from being nervous all day before I meet up with Teacher Guy. If I have too much time to myself, I might psych myself out on this one.

What are the "rules" of dating casually? Who picks up the check? What do you wear? Do you hug at the end or shake hands? Ugh...dating was so much simpler when I *WASN'T* dating! lol Wish me luck.
