Day 160: A Dinner "Date"



So.  Today I had dinner with someone I dated back in September.  It's possible that this person will read this entry, but I don't care, it's my blog lol.  Things did not end well back when we dated, so I didn't talk to this guy for months until recently.  He asked if I would go out to dinner with him, so I said fine.

I was worried:  What if he wants to get back together with me?  What if he tries to hold my hand or even kiss me?  But I bit the bullet and went so that, if I needed to, I could let him know that I was not interested in dating him, neither now nor ever in the future.

Result:  The dinner went okay.  It didn't go good, and it didn't go bad, it went okay.  And that was just fine with me.

  1. Let the record show that Gina deleted my comment defending myself against the above mis-characterization of what happened and unrightfully negative portrayal of my character. Instead of dealing with her own insecurities, Gina would rather censor any comments that don't make her feel good about herself.

    Gina: For the last time, you reached out to me, not the other way around. Why? What is it that you wanted?? And how could I have been any nicer when you did?? Tell the truth in your blog posts!!

  2. Dude...get over it. No one cares about her portrayal of you. She was being nice by saying it was okay. Leave it alone and find another blog to stalk! Snipes...out!

  3. I don't think that she was being mean in what she posted, she was just being honest in how she felt the night went and her feelings going into it. Also, I don't think she can mis-characterize someone if she doesn't post their name, you only embarrassed yourself by publicly announcing that it was you she went out with. I think that anyone who knows Gina understands that her blog is for her and has no reason to come on and write lies.

  4. I thought this might happen.

    None of you know the facts, only her version of what happened, and you will be inclined to side with her since you are her friends.

    Kimberly, this has never been about hiding my identity. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I just couldn't help but correct her very misleading account of what happened (again, you wouldn't know).

    Nicole, you say no one cares about her portrayal of me? I do! I also wrote her a private message but I wanted to set straight what was written here as well. And I am not "stalking" her blog, whatever that means.

    Kimberly, I didn't say she was being mean in what she posted. I generally avoid mean people. I am saying she is being misleading, dishonest really. While her post may reflect her honest feelings about the evening (the fears etc.), it is misleading about the facts in ways that are relevant.

    In brief, this post makes it sound like after the long break I called her up and asked her to dinner, and that she was reluctant to go. False, and false!

    Saying that she "bit the bullet" and only went to dinner with me so that if she needed to, she could tell me she was not interested in dating me, either now nor ever in the future is ridiculous. For one thing, she suggested the dinner, and in her messages to me she sounded eager to see me again so that we could catch up - that's certainly all I had in mind.

    Kimberly, you suggest Gina has no reason to write lies - well she has written several misleading statements, either intentionally or out of confusion on her part. If intentional, I assume her motivation is to generate the most sympathy for her from her blog readers. I don't really know.

    She has invited comments here, and so I didn't see anything wrong with adding mine, as long as it isn't offensive.
