Our Story: The First Date

After about two weeks of going out to lunch I finally decided to ask Colleen out on a real date. I was much smoother with my date request than I was with my initial lunch proposal. Our first date was on February 23, although Colleen thought it was on the 22nd for the last year or so. The day greeted us with a winter snow storm and I remember waking up and thinking, "I am pretty sure I could work from home today, but I should go in and see Colleen."

In addition to the wintry weather, I awoke feeling under the weather and dreading driving to work. I left for work at the usual time and didn't realize that we had a delayed opening until I saw that the parking lot was completely untouched.

After work Colleen came over to my house and then we left for a night on the town!!

We ate dinner at a restaurant in SONO called Bulldog. I never heard of it before and we soon found out why. It was the weirdest restaurant I've ever been to. Picture Friday's + Bob Marley + College Dorm Room = Bulldog.

I ordered chicken parm and they thought it was a good idea to serve that on top of a heaping pile of mashed potatoes! My Italian ancestors were rolling over in their graves.

I ordered a Mexican burger and I only ate a quarter of it. It wasn't that good.

So Bulldog was a bust, but we did have a good time chatting. On a side note - Bulldog went out of business 6 months later. After dinner we did the status quo for dates and saw a movie. I was excited to see this new film that had just come out: JUMPER!

That was probably the dumbest movie I've ever seen. Horrible acting and even worse story line. It was good thing Josh is cute or this may have been our first and only date.

I agreed - not with the me being cute stuff (although I do (-:), but the movie was really bad. I think the saving grace we got from the movie was that a few months later we learned that the two stars of the film got engaged.

He drove us back to his house and then we talked a little bit and then I went home. It was still snowing, so I didn't want to risk staying out too late. The date's activities were a bust, but the company was awesome!
