When I decided to begin dating again, I flirted with a few potential dates. Being a successful veterinarian that is accustomed to being aggressive in my day job, I found it difficult to sit back and wait for the date offers to come to me. I emailed and even called several guys that I was interested in dating. Finally an offer came in! I got asked to go ice skating!!!!
Well, sort of.........it was more of text message "I am going ice skating today and if you go, I'll meet you there". I took this to mean a date. A date, finally a date! And I ran to shave my legs and paint my nails....
I met the prospective gentleman at the ice rink and we had a great time. It was fun to have an active date where one can talk for a little while and then "do something", rather than just staring at each other across a dinner table for 3 hours.
After the skating session was over, the guy was nice enough to walk me to my vehicle. Being a dating newbie, I was not sure of what should happen now. I did want to see him again and hoped to get asked out for another date. However, all I got was a quick comment: "Thanks for coming! See ya!" and then he turned away and walked to his car.
Seriously??? No mention of a further date, no awkward quick first kiss. Nope, "meeting up" is not a date!
