A Blind Date Story

I met another guy last night.

I haven't been into the blind dates so much recently--they can be stressful and disappointing and uncomfortable. But what the hell. You don't meet people when you're not meeting people... right?

This date happened because it was last minute and really the bottom line was: no matter how horrid I could imagine him being, at least we could always talk about that music festival we both went to. Even if he's boring or asshole-y or weird-looking or old-looking or girl-looking, at least we both really like Iron & Wine and that's something. Turns out he was a pretty nice, normal dude (with a wonky tooth).

I've learned:

 - Go without any expectations.
 - You'll get to meet someone new, who's coming just to get to know you too. That's not a bad thing.
 - You can always leave early if he's a creep. You can leave whenever you want actually.
 - He might be cooler than you think. You might enjoy yourself.
 - Even if it's not fun, at least you get a story to tell.
