Last Sunday I met the cutest lady at Church and found out
that we both live in the Domain. If you know anything about me, you know I am
the worst friend maker in the world. I wonder if it is a major character flaw
to want to sit and watch television or if I am feeling extra spontaneous.… read
a book, instead of entertain. I wish it was socially acceptable to disclose
that your best talent involves a DVR.
However,
yesterday I thought I would step out of my comfort zone (GO ME) and go to Kona
Grill with my new friends. I was extremely nervous that this whole double date
would be a complete failure. Often times when meeting new couples my eccentric
husband will go off on 20 minute tangents about who knows what and all I can
think about is, “I hope they are interested, and we aren't scaring them off.”
My husband could get along with anyone and is super friendly, much unlike
myself.
Sometimes
I feel like meeting a new couple is like going on a blind date, all I can think
about is “Man, I hope they like me” and “I sure wish I don’t have anything in
my teeth.” Is it a bad sign when after our date the couple announces they will
not be in town for a couple weeks? Should I take a note from the movie He’s Not That Into You, and assume they
were letting us off lightly? Maybe I am being too hard on myself. We had a lot
in common, and although it is hard to admit I would have rather been eating
with that couple, then watching Criminal Minds.
I totally agree about being really nervous about double dates. Good "couple friends" as I call them aren't easy to find--all four of you have to get along! Once my husband and I went out with another couple. Both of us got along well with the wife (she was in my husband's ward growing up, so they were long time buddies) but neither of us liked her husband!
ReplyDeleteJust to make this comment super awkward, my husband and I would love to go on a double date with you guys =) Russel texted your husband one week, but you were out of town so we'll have to try to find another time!
Hey Jaime. Omgoodness, so glad you validated my concerns. We miss you and Russell. Let us know when you are available and we will hang out for sure. Matt is still bugging me about his fish tank haha.
