Not that I've actually seen Must Love Dogs, but the premise of the movie is meeting someone on the internet for purposes of friendship/dating. While dog-lover wasn't on my list, God-lover certainly was. I briefly described my match earlier, and after a week of getting to know one another in text, we actually met for coffee this afternoon. A very nice guy with whom I share many similarities. Not having an activity, like bowling or mini-golf, our conversation occassionally came to a pause but was able to resume without too much difficulty. Future meetings were not arranged, but the possibility thereof was left open.
So there you have it. This girl has gone on her very first date in her entire life (and a quasi-blind first date at that). All in all things went smoothly, the coffee and conversation were enjoyable, and this whole first-date thing isn't so hard after all. Not a bad way to start off the week.

Mark - not really sure that there is "a rest of the story" just yet. We met on the internet site, exchanged tidbits all week, and met for coffee on Monday. Haven't heard from him since, but it's only been 3 days ... I'm not sure if there is a protocol for how long to wait these days. Nonetheless, I hold out hope. I do want to retain some semblance of privacy. Since he's the only one in his profession by his first name in the city, I want to avoid invasion of his privacy as well. But not to worry, future details will be made available. ;)

Please fill in the rest of this story there are those of us who are really curious.
And it is true that once you are hooked up that you become really interested in the volleys and follies of others love lives.
Congrats on the 1st date status.
