once smitten, twice shy

My goal for yesterday was so step outside of my comfort zone. You'll be happy to know that I accomplished my goal and did so with great success if I do say so myself. Not only did I leave Buckhead (gasp!) but I left Buckhead to meet someone new for dinner and drinks.

This person and I had made tentative plans on Saturday night but due to my lovely hangover I didn't venture out of the house. I guess you could say that this goal was twofold: The first part of my goal to step outside my comfort zone was to ask him if he would like to have a drink with me after work. The second was meeting him at his apartment for dinner and wine when he accepted my offer (*cue stomach dropping out of butt feeling now*).

I hadn't been on a real first date in a while so I was very nervous that I was going to be this awkward mess of a person and totally blow it. You know, really self confident things. Fortunately, the initial butterflies were the only awkward feeling I had the entire night. The conversation flowed, I was able to feel comfortable enough around him to be myself and ended up having a great time. Best first date hands down.

Mission accomplished.
