discussed it all in therapy, came home and called the guy, asked if we could drive together or else he could pick me up.. he offered to pick me up.. we talked for some time, it was nice enough. he's a decent guy, another human being, maybe not my summer fling fantasy,, darn, but it all feels better now.
I'm embarrassed to be so worked up over all this.. first date since my long voluntary single phase.. it brings back all the bad memories, all the fears it will be the same disappointment and pain, anger, confusion, obsession, all that stuff. the whole mating thing is so difficult,,
Therapist also suggested a pick-up line for my gorgeous young video store clerk.. since I'm confused about whether he's really flirting or just being friendly.. she suggested I could say 'I wish I were ten years younger, I'd ask you out' see what he comes back with. I'll ponder whether I have the courage for that one. Yikes. Scary stuff.
