Bad first date?
| Mon, 12-26-2005 - 10:33pm |
This is the same guy who's never asked me for a picture - no, I haven't met him yet, but mono tends to make you want to stay home and on the couch. :-)
Anyway, I've started to feel better, so he and I are making tentative plans to meet. He wants to take me flying (he's a pilot). Now, I've gone flying with people I know less than him, but the OLD factor is making me think twice. Am I being paranoid? Is this a bad idea?


Oh, lordy, there is NO WAY I would go up in a plane with someone on a first meet.
No way.

Yes, I'd say that it's very different...for one thing, you (presumably) know something about how those planes are maintained.

I'm definitely not worried about his plane, it's just the OLD paranoia kicking in. I'm really just looking for someone to knock some sense into me, because the pilot in me is saying, "I do this all the time," and the girl who dates is saying, "I wouldn't get in a CAR with this guy and let him take me somewhere....".
I mean, are there any situations in OLD where you CAN feel perfectly safe meeting someone?
I'm not sure what you mean...how would meeting in a public place like a Starbucks not be safe?
But in any event, I'm with the girl who dates ;-). Meet him first, at least...you can always go flying on your 2nd date!

Never thought of it that way. I hate trying to have a serious conversation in a small (which means LOUD) airplane.
Now I just have to decide if he's worth breaking my "no dating pilots" rule.
