I hate double dates.
I've only been on one and that was enough. And well...it appears that my date with my fella from the online dating site is going to be a double date. Kinda.
First of all, let me just say that we're officially meeting on the 9th of February! I am so excited and nervous. Typical feelings for me regarding him at this point.
But anyway, I'm bringing my friend because I don't want to travel alone and I don't want to be alone with him. (At least not yet). And although I doubt he is going to lure me in a dark corner and kill me, it's better to be safe than sorry. So she's tagging along.
The other day when we were video chatting though (yeah we've been video chatting lately) he offered to bring one of his younger friends so my friend wouldn't feel like a third wheel. So I asked her, and she was like: I don't want to be set up but I don't want to be a third wheel either.
Needless to say, his friend is going to come. And it may be awful.
For all I know, I'm going to meet my fella and dislike him (although I highly doubt it but you never know). And NOW he's going to bring along his friend, who could end up being a jerk as well. And if he's not a jerk, then I'll be nervous because not only do I have to impress my fella, but now I'll have to impress his friend. Because if his friend hates me my fella is more likely to dislike me as well.
My friend keeps reassuring me that if everything turns out awfully, the two of us can just bail and hang out. It's a lovely thought that she is going to be there for me in that way, but at the same time, I will be heartbroken if my fella and I don't connect and the whole ordeal turns out horribly. I don't want the 9th of February to be horrible.
And...I've been talking to him for a few days over four weeks now...four weeks of getting to know each other all just to be lost once we meet face-to-face is so depressing.
But it will be what it will be I guess.
