I can't flirt with more than one guy? Hmmm? Besides, Bear is engaged to idnic, don't forget.

And I'm not camera-body particular. Nikon is good. Canon is good. Even (she said begrudgingly) Pentax is good. It's all good.

Golf. Isn't that like playing frisbee with yourself?

I went on a blind date once -- it was a double date with my cousin and her boyfriend. My date was the boyfriend's best friend.

He was a really nice guy, but VERY shy. And I was (am?) VERY shy. I think we said like 2 words together the whole time.

oh well.

It actually makes a pretty good story. The blind date was set up by our mothers, who had recently moved into the same neighborhood some 600 miles away. They discovered they both had kids in the same city (richmond), and cajoled us into going out.

I called her if for no other reason to get my mom off my back. I had only planned on going to dinner, but we ended up having a really good time. We ended up driving about 120 miles that night to be able to watch the sun come up on Skyline Drive, which is a part of the blue ridge parkway in the Virginia mountains.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...

I was in high school, had a summer job in Ocean City, Md and friend asked me to go on a double with him and his girlfriend and her friend. My mouth said yes before my brain could stop it. I lived in dread until the night. My worst nightmare came true.. she was a knockout.. truly and I was Gomer Pyle. However, my tongue untied and it was a very enjoyable evening. I was marveling at my ability to handle the situation so well...... until

A friend walked up and said.. Hi Ron, introduce me to your date.

My brain reached for a name and .... nada, zip, blank, vacuous nothing.

I augered in.

Lesseeee, the last blind-date I went on lasted 48 hours ... just couldn't leave eachother and kept saying goodbye, then getting back in the car together to go do random things around the state 'cause we didn't want it to end.

And yhea, I married him. Still feels like that first 48 hours too. :)

Edit - spelling so that I am coherent. haha

I've been on a few, made some friends but no love...

they all went well, cup of coffee at some nice coffee house, movies and such..

still waiting for that "love at first sight"... guess it doesn't work if she sees me first ;)
