Date Update

Rocketman.

Let me begin by saying Rocketman was very nice. I can honestly say I had a very nice time and I am pleased that I put my foot in the door in the online dating world.

Next, let me say that I will likely not have a second date with Rocketman. While he was very nice and pleasant, I can't say I was all that enthralled with what he had to say. Sadly, I was a little bored. Therefore, I must move on...

I thought we were on the same page because a second date was not requested. However, when I got home he texted me and said he had had a nice time and wanted to know if it was okay if he called me this week. A very nice and gentlemanly thing to say. Too bad I hope he doesn't call. Which leads me to the part I hate the most about dating...rejection. How do I do it in a way that is nice and respectful? I'm still learning that process. I don't think I will ever master it, quite frankly.

I realize that in this adventure called online dating, it will inevitably go both ways and I will feel the sting of rejection; but for now I regret being the one to be doing the rejecting.
