Sherly Crow-If It Makes you Happy
For those of us not in a commited relationship with someone other than ourselves I think its important to know how to properly date yourself.
First-Ask yourself out. Say yes. Dont be shy.
Second-Dress up a bit. Your worth it. Look good.
Third-Pick where you want to go. Anything. Anywhere.
Fourth-Pick yourself up on time. Being late is rude.
Fifth-Open your mind to all the possibilities of scenarios and people you could meet or interact with. The world is full of them. Other People.
Six-Open the door and walk through it.
I recenty got asked out by myself and I accepted. I also decided to go to the Olive Garden for my date. Nothing like a good salad and pasta. I looked cute and had a bounce in my step and a little smile on my face as I entered the restaurant.
"Table for 1 please" I said confidently. As I walked past all the other families and dates to my solo table, I started to feel a bit weird. All by myself. Then I remembered I was on a date and not really alone.
I cozied up and perused the menu and quicly decided on my dinner. The harried waitress seemed relieved I knew what I wanted and rushed away. I scanned the big room of all the people and landed on a family of 3 small children and the 2 parents. Fun to watch.
My meal came and I enjoyed every morsel. I watched the family eating and talking and at one point the Dad got up to take his toddler son to the bathroom. The boy couldn't have been over 10 or 12 months and was very determined about placing one foot in front of the wobbly other while his Dad held his hand to walk.

They walked at the toddlers pace and were walking toward me. My mind wandered off to my now teenaged sons first steps. When toddler boy reached my table he stopped and looked directly at me smiling at him and said a loud "HI!" Now anyone with kids or a heart will understand that there is nothing more premium than a smile from a genuine person. A child. The kind of smile that goes from ear to ear and their eyes smile back at you as well. Children don;t know prejudice or color or hate or anything ugly at this age. They just ARE sincere and genuine. Beautiful works of art. I started laughing and the Dad chuckled to at his son's sudden cute outburst too. It was like the boy was saying "Hi, Im new here, on this earth. And I'm feeling groovy and just had to let you know". So HI!
I'm glad I got out of the house. It was one of the best dates I ever had.
