Going on a date on Friday! Feeling very positive - it's a huge step in terms of recovery that I'm ready to contemplate this!

That look on the cashier’s face when all you put on the counter is two tubs of sour cream and a bottle of KY and then you feel compelled to say, “They aren’t related.”

Mixing up which of those is which feels like it could be an awful mistake.

I mean one CAN always BECOME a bearded blacksmith...he just needs a little coaching.

He's probably safe for the first date.

Second date can be "By the way, I know you like teaching, but I really think you need a change in career....."

To give some context this is someone I've known for absolutely years. I'm not sure I could have made the leap with a stranger to be honest. There's always been "something there" for want of a better phrase, but timing and one thing and another have gotten in the way previously. Feels good

Hmmm we'll let it happen then but if he keeps pigeons I fear it is doomed.

Also we expect live updates so we can all provide advice during the date!!

Half way through - "Still showing no signs of interest in smithing. I fear it is doomed."

[Tsundoku]

This is where we need to check other people's twitter feed:

"Poor girl at next table having awful first date. Dude looks NOTHING like a blacksmith ..."

Smithing and Falconry....isn't this part of the premise to the film LADYHAWKE?

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

My friend refers to me as Ladyhawke all the time. Oh lord, I really am going to have to give him careers advice. "You're messing with my carefully cultivated one-woman-Renaissance-Fair image, man....."

[Tiste Simeon]

Alternatively, Smith and Falcon sounds like a gritty detective story set in New York or something.

[Abyss]

Obviously you need to give us the time and place details so we can have a surveillance live-reporting support team on hand to shamelessly post details and colour commentary assist you.

[worry]

Showed up for the date and he was standing there with nothing but sour cream and KY. Needless to say...

Spoiler

WE'RE ENGAGED!!!

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

You guys are the best

[Abyss]

You say that now. Wait til the nanites biodegrade drugs wear off hangover kicks in bank calls deportation proceedings blacklight tattoos are revealed what were we talking about?

[Stormcat]

That I have not been on this forum in a year and this thread is still going.

So why are you not dating us? Like we could work out some kind of schedule...

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

But by your own logic, none of you are blacksmiths.... are you?

[Tiste Simeon]

I'm a Smith but I'm very white...
