My (Almost) Date with Dr. Neal

I’ve been talking to this guy named Dr. Neal for over a month now.  We were originally supposed to meet like 2 weeks ago for drinks but that didn’t work out too well.  It was actually ever girls worse nightmare!  I got stood up!  Well kind of, we agreed to meet in this upscale (totally over priced)  bar at 9.  I got there exactly on time and I sent him a text saying “I’m here… do you wanna meet by the front bar?”.  I sat in my car waiting for a response and got NOTHING back.  I was freaking out!  I waited a totally of 20 minutes in my car and then drove off.  I was holding back tears.  I couldn’t believe I got stood up.  Its the worst feeling in the world.  Every last detail was running through my head, did I say something stupid?  What if he saw me waiting in my car and thought I was ugly?  What if he was fake?  I went into my usual psycho analyzing mood and couldn’t come up with anything.

An hour and a half after I got home Dr. Neal finally sent me a text message say “I’m so sorry I was on my way there and my phone died.  I was at the bar looking around for you but after an hour I left.”  I was so angry I just wrote him “Its fine, I’m over it. Good bye.”  Long story short he just kept apologizing all night and into the next morning and I finally forgave him.

Even though I forgave him I wasn’t going to make it easy for him to see me.  I made sure I was EXTREMELY busy for the next week and half.  Finally, he pinned me down for a date and I saw him this weekend.  I’ll have to tell you all about it in another post.
