Confessions of a Semi-Sociopath...

I did something very out of character yesterday evening.

I was social.

I went on a date.

He decided that we were going to start out with dinner and let the evening progress from there.
We went to a local Mexican restaurant. His choice, but oddly enough I would have suggested the same place if I had to have picked our dining location.

I was concerned that he would find me boring. Why? I’m not really sure.

I am pretty sure the worst thing someone could ever do to another person is bore them.

I had this nagging thought in the back of my mind that he would think I was unintelligent.

Luckily, our date indicated quite the opposite. We discovered we have a lot in common. After dinner we went to a coffee shop so we could talk longer, the entire time we talked I was doing that thing where I mentally multitask. I was fully engaged in the conversation but in my mind I had about 3 other major focuses.

1. I really wish I could read minds. That would be fabulous right about now.

2. I am starving even though I just ate.

3. I hope this guy doesn’t hate me, think I’m stupid, or find me awkward.

If I possessed the ability of what I listed by number 1, point 3 would not be an issue.

We plan to go out again soon. Another odd thing for me, being social possibly twice in one week? Unheard of.

Sincerely,
Maybe I can socialize with people and be sort of normal, too.

P.S. – I will definitely blog about the second date and other future social moments.
