I mean, he turned out to be normal, and that's always a plus. <BR/><BR/>The cupcakes look great.

(I probably should sign up for a Blogger account.} Anyway, my husband and I lived about 1.5 hours apart when we met. His sons where teenagers at the time, and they stayed with him every weekend. He drove to see me during the week, and I often would drive to see him on the weekends. He once drove through a blizzard to come see me! And then proceeded to shovel out my driveway. :-) Anyway, I echo the comments from others. I'd give him one more chance. People are always nervous on first dates. He sounds like a really nice guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-90920214138287549752009-03-25T10:06:00.000-05:002009-03-25T10:06:00.000-05:00Notyourplainjane: I just feel really indifferent.....Notyourplainjane: I just feel really indifferent....and the cupcakes were yummy, especially after skating made me hungry.<BR/><BR/>Ys: I guess some part of me always thinks there's a chance....<BR/><BR/>Bone: Torture?! Surely not. I used to have a two date rule for that very reason.<BR/><BR/>Thomas: Ha. Thanks for sharing your story. I think I'll write the guy back, and if he is interested enough to come here again then we'll have a second date.<BR/><BR/>WTG: Excellent point. I do tend to overthink things.<BR/><BR/>Ella: Thanks! Now you need to spend the 3-4 hours in a plane to come see me.....Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-64675963968594439622009-03-25T09:06:00.000-05:002009-03-25T09:06:00.000-05:00Love the cup cakes!

Just because of the nervousness and awkwardness of a first meeting.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the bit of distance adds another aspect to it here. But it's really not that far. Don't feel guilty.<BR/><BR/>If you still really don't see it going anywhere after the second date, just be up front about it.<BR/><BR/>In other news, you really believe in cupcake torture don't you? :)Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-31929051126807344802009-03-24T16:50:00.000-05:002009-03-24T16:50:00.000-05:00I would say give him another chance. About three ...I would say give him another chance. About three years ago, I went on a date with someone. I was nervous. My conversation was uninteresting. But I liked the girl. I knew I was blowing it, which made me more nervous. She emailed me and said she had a nice time but that was it. Trying to salvage a bad situation, I said, "Let's just hang out as friends." She said sure. <BR/><BR/>The second time we hung out, there was no pressure on me. I was back to my normal self. I realized that this girl was even more interesting than I thought and she realized that I was okay myself.<BR/><BR/>We have been dating for 2 years now. Give the guy a chance.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13892964135889989419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-87147420868471318492009-03-24T12:28:00.000-05:002009-03-24T12:28:00.000-05:00I say roll with the flow.
