Isn’t it funny to think of how dating has changed? I remember writing little notes with check boxes, asking the boy to mark yes or no in regards to liking me. Gradually, the method in which we communicate our feelings have matured and become more effective. We use Myspace and other technological means to say, “Hey! I like you. Do you like me too?” And even when exchanging telephone numbers, I feel more mature…
Today I realized how old I was.
I walked into Panera expecting to get my soup and go but as I approached the line, I saw this dude. He was pretty damn attractive so I proceeded to make eye contact with him and held it, which is a first considering I normally look away and laugh. As I was getting my water, we exchanged glances and awkward smiles at the beverage station. That’s when I said to myself, “Just ask him for his number.” So I did.
I gave him my phone number and he gave me his business card.
This is the second business card I’ve gotten from a dude that I’ve gone on a date with.
The business card: if you doubted your age at one time or another, this piece of cardboard will make it glaringly obvious.
Not that it’s a bad thing; I just realized that I’m growing up. And I’m quite proud of how I’m turning out. : )
