Comments on: On Going Out On A Date… And Getting Stabbed http://confessandbehanged.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/on-going-out-on-a-date-and-getting-stabbed/ Write for yourself to everyone else Wed, 07 Jan 2009 08:48:13 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: jenbri http://confessandbehanged.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/on-going-out-on-a-date-and-getting-stabbed/#comment-80 jenbri Sun, 20 Apr 2008 16:59:11 +0000 http://confessandbehanged.wordpress.com/?p=37#comment-80 I met a random guy when I was buying vodka at a service station on my way to a party on new year's eve and when he asked me out I thought, 'he's cute, why not?' But there was a part of me that was a bit anxious when it came to meeting up and so I wussed and opted for an afternoon coffee/cinema date as opposed to bar/club! It was cool in the end tho. I like the excitement of first dates (And, I know this sounds shallow, but it's always such a nice feeling when you first see them and think 'phew!', 'specially if you're prone to wine-goggles!) But I totally agree that it's so important to feel safe nowadays. I know too many people who've had near date-rape situations not to go out with a strong dose of cynicism, as Anita said. You're totally right about uni life making students complacent about safety and stuff... it ain't just the campus bubble, it's the intensity of work - enough to drive anyone into taking risks! xx I met a random guy when I was buying vodka at a service station on my way to a party on new year’s eve and when he asked me out I thought, ‘he’s cute, why not?’ But there was a part of me that was a bit anxious when it came to meeting up and so I wussed and opted for an afternoon coffee/cinema date as opposed to bar/club!

When I used to watch sex and the city, I took note of the fact that most of the men the four women date were either completely off their nuts weird, or extremely unpleasant (with a few exceptions.) I always thought the scriptwriters over wrote the characters of the 'dates' for comic effect, but actually, now I look at it, its probabaly an accurate depiction. There are alot of very STRANGE people out there. Who, like us normal people, are looking for someone. I suppose you have to kiss alot of frogs before you get Prince Charming though right?

I'm dating too at the moment, and also guilty of first date *ahem* stuff...but I felt I could trust this person, and luckily, I wasn't wrong. It was a perfect date. You're right though, and I know I deserve a slapped wrist for being so frivolous with my actions... The world is far too scary a place not to be cynical. Hope your next date goes better, my love! Fuck, this was honest!

It's funny how coincidences can seem to gang up to make you conscious of a particular fears. As for me, my mum gets worried when I'm out and about in Windsor, so she's already deeply ingrained in me a fear of going out anywhere at night!
