    walking through glass doesn't sound like a good date maybe plan something else

    unless you're both stunt people then you should do a high fall right after

    Awesome!
    And tbh if it's someone you work with, if I were her I might even prefer a text ask? Seems easier to reject without pressure? But I haven't really thought it through and it's no longer relevant anyway

    Thinking about it I agree too. I can only speak as a dude, but not being put on the spot potentially in front of co-workers seems good.

    It literally only occurred to me today that texting her might be an option. I'd had it in my head that since asking face-to-face is scarier, it must therefore be the best way to do it. Which, I can see now that I've typed it out, is not exactly the most airtight logic in the world.

    I have had some serious mood swings this week, which I think are my brain's way of preparing for anything.

    Don't overthink it!

    Remember, you're very intelligent and charming and handsome and funny. And she agreed to go on a date with you, so she likely thinks so too.

    I know my post was cheesy, but you're an absolute fucking pearl of a bloke, Niall.

    I know it's hard not to get right inside your own head on these things ESPECIALLY if you've got the damned anxieties, but you're gonna be okay, she's going to have a good time with you, and from what you've told us she already knows you fairly well and is interested in dating you, so you're WAY ahead of where many people are when they ask someone out.

    You've got this, mate.

    Thanks Chris ❤️

    At the cafe and waiting now. Going radio silent. Oh, just one complication though: this place seats about 25 but I am the only person in here.

    Turn the venue into a dance floor and teach her to waltz

    She just wants to be friends. Could not have been more clear about that. Second time I've had a "first date" go that way actually!

    If anyone needs me, I'll be in bed with the blankets over my head for the next few decades.

    my date was like whatever i guess
    she was rather attractive and tbh it was just nice to talk to someone new after... not having talked to someone new in person in forever
    i doubt we would get along well and i will prob never see her again (and perhaps I am too judgey) but

    the pizza and wine was really good
    and i ordered dessert even tho she said i'm not a dessert person but you do you so i did it and ate the tiramisu

    then later, i was walking by the pier myself and staring at the city and it was pretty
    and walked by the gelato place i wanted to try for a long time so i got second dessert by myself

    that was good


    also this girl tho, a lot more uh reckless about covid risks apparently, which i guess i didn't discuss with her beforehand but hopefully i didn't get it from her
    or from any of the number of people i'd seen outside or just walking around
    or give it to her or any of my friends! i feel kinda bad today! i got a test this morning but won't know till monday!

    Well 2 of them are obviously about fucking, but in cutesy posh English. The third one is referring to the newly-revived TV show from the 80s called Spitting Image. I don't know what the second one is about but I imagine it's a conservative twat complaining or being smug about something.

    Been feeling down in the dumps lately.

    About this time last year I had started seeing somebody that I ended up liking and was all "ah yeah this is nice I hope this continues." Of course it did not, obviously. And like, two or three weeks after it ended covid hit and boy howdy ain't nothing been good since.

    I think the weathers got me in a weird mood. Its finally starting to cool off a little here, and we're getting some signs of fall. Everybody is transitioning into cozy mode and getting ready to enjoy all the fall things with their partners and families and such. And maaaaan, I kinda wanna be cozy, too.

    Got in last night from my cross country jaunt.

    California -> Arizona -> New Mexico -> Texas -> Oklahoma -> Arkansas -> Tennessee -> Mississippi -> Alabama -> Georgia -> South Carolina -> North Carolina -> Virginia

    Then a week and a half at my friend's place hanging out with my new niece who is totally adorable. And then...

    Virginia -> West Virginia -> Kentucky -> Indiana -> Illinois -> Missouri -> Kansas -> Colorado -> Utah -> Nevada -> California

    Just shy of 6,000 miles and 40 hours worth of driving each way. My lower back is currently not speaking to me.

    Welp my almost year long relationship (that basically ended up being a covid relationship) ended. She wanted next steps and I wasn't there.

    Gonna take the rest of the year off romantically.

    Don't sell yourselves short.

    There was also a tremendous water tower that proclaimed "Oklahoma - Home of Garth Brooks."

    Which is honestly something I would brag about as well. That man is a treasure.

    Yeah, but there's a dark side as well. If you go through OKC north-south instead of east-west, you get Moore bragging about being the home of Toby Keith with a nearly identical water tower.

    Why is Oklahoma blurry?

    Because on a cross-country trip, it's an uncrowded stretch of interstate with not a lot of cops.

    Indeed it is.

    I don't think I stopped to gas up in Oklahoma so it was a single fairly straight and fairly flat highway that was mostly empty (with the exception of near OKC) and I had the cruise control set at 85mph.

    We should like, deconstruct Oklahoma and the Dakotas and free up America's inventory space. Maybe fold the mats into upgrade components for New Jersey or something.

    Oh just while driving. I thought you meant it was blurry generally. Like there's something wrong with how light works there.
