This week John asked me out for Saturday, again via text, to which I said yes [I realized afterward that I should have made him call. He’s not going to learn if I don’t teach him.]. We set a time for him to pick me up, with him calling later in the week to see if a different time would work better for me [Yes, he actually called.].
Saturday finally came and he picked me up from my apartment. Once again, I opened my own car door [Once again, totally fine.], and we headed to the sporting event we were going to watch which was a bit of a distance away. This left time for good conversation – always a good activity on a date. We parked a few blocks away from the arena and began our trek there.
On our walk we ran into a friend of John’s who had an extra ticket and offered to give it to him. He took it, but we still needed another one so we headed to the ticket office. We got to the window where he said, “You can get your ticket” [Why thanks. Guess it’s a good thing I brought my wallet??]. We headed inside for the game, where we sat on the opposing team’s side. Towards the end of the game it got kinda chilly, and I forgot my jacket in the car, so I had to just suffer through it and pretend to be fine.
On our way back to my apartment he asked if I was hungry, which I kinda was, so we stopped at a burger place where I got to pay for my own dinner. Don’t get me wrong, it was fabulous food, but I wasn’t expecting to pay then either.
He took me back to my apartment, where he walked me to the door and left with a hug. Ever since the date ended I’ve been in this weird haze just trying to contemplate what happened – was it a date or not?? Great. I have no idea.
Until next time, Robin

Date Tip: I completely understand the want to split the cost of a date – they can be expensive! And I totally approve of paying Dutch on a date, it would just be nice to let the girl know beforehand. I mean, the ticket and dinner were both kinda pricy – and not money that I had planned on spending. It just would have been nice to know that I would have been paying for myself before I said yes.
