Kind of a blind-date tonight. eek!
| Wed, 11-09-2005 - 1:27pm |
I spoke to this woman who works parttime at my building alst week and we got to talking about me being single. Well, she told me about a single co-worker of hers (that works with her at her full-time job) and well, today she came in and asked if I was up for going out for wings tonight at a local sports bar. Basically a casual setup- a chance for me to meet him (and vice-versa) but with other people around in a more relaxed group environment.
I'm so nervous now!
I don't have a whole lot in common with this woman, so the whole social setting will be a bunch of people I don't know. I did invite a couple friends/coworkers to come out too, just so that I don't show up alone and have a few of my peeps with me.
I'm also coming out right after my regular wednesday night step-class. So egad, i usually look like crap after working out. BUt I plan on bringing some makeup and a change of clothes so that I can do a quick change before I go out.
Any advice on this? I've never done anything like this before. I'm trying to approach it as a "chance to get to enhance my social circle"- so that I'm not coming in there terribly nervous. Besides, it's always nice to meet new people and maybe i'll make some friends too! But anyway, gah, i'm nervous.

If you find you have something in common with him, talk about that topic. You can also incorporate your friends in the convo as well. That way, you won't feel the need to fill in all the conversational gaps.
Is there a shower at the gym? I know you won't have time to do your hair and all, but you don't want to arrive smelling like a gym. If it is too precarious, I would skip the gym as the other poster said.
