New Beginnings

A daytime coffee date does not require an “I’m home safe” text.

I was going to say... lol. Unless she lives in Pakistan or one of the lawless free for all “autonomous communities” in Seattle or Oregon or someplace, or it’s a huge snow storm or thunderstorms or something, it’s not like a high risk commute. I’ve always thought, what’s the point. It’s really just more an excuse to make contact and as LH says, a way to potentially gauge interest. Who checks on us all of the other times we travel from point A to point B? If out with your buddies do you text each other to say “I made it home safely”. Lol.

So it appears both of you are at least interested enough in a second date. A picnic, hmmmmmmm, as a real first date. Hmmmmmm, might be a bit intimate and pressure. Activities are sometimes easier to navigate as you have things to do, things to comment on or react to. A picnic is much more intimate and relies totally on the two of you to carry it and do the heavy lifting. Just my take on it. Although if it goes well it may point to greater potential than an activity where you basically just need to show up rather than show up AND bring your A game.

Just remember it’s only a second date. Far too soon to be even considering putting all your eggs into his basket.

Hi DonH, thanks for your comment.

Do to Covid, I thought a picnic would be a safe thing to do, and the weather is perfect for it. Depending on where the location is, we might be able to do an activity too. (ie Bocci Ball, toss a frisbee, scrabble). Honestly, I like to do things outdoor that are creative and inexpensive. I'm not to sure what's open to the public anyway. Being a Saturday, and we live in a tourist destination, an intimate picnic away from visitors would be welcome. But, not too secluded.

It's just a date. I'm just excited to have a new adult to talk to!
