Moving on to the bright side Part 11

Ok, so I'm going to ask a question that is going to come across as my being a HUGE smart a$$ and I SWEAR to you that is not how I mean it, but I'm curious because my best friend and I have this discussion ALL the time. You say you asked her out, but then you say you just said basically, let's have a drink sometime...nothing set in stone. In my opinion (and we all know everyone has an opinion and mine may very well differ from most everyone else's), that is not asking someone out or having a date, even though she did respond that she was in (paraphrasing, of course). My best friend tells me all the time he "has a date" then when I ask when and where they are going, I get some vague response about how he just asked some chick to go try out a restaurant "sometime". Maybe I'm old fashioned or just plain old, but if you don't directly offer up at least a specific time, is it really a date? It might help to know that I'm NOT a fly by the seat of your pants kind of person. I like a schedule and I'm sure that is at least part of why I don't understand this train of thought. LOL

Don't get me wrong, I promise I'm not trying to be a smart aleck....just trying to understand the thinking. It would help me better converse with my best friend if someone I don't have an emotional attachment to could explain it to me because obviously it is not as unusual as I thought.

I'm glad for you, by the way and hope that the "normal" feeling continues. Good luck!
