Are you my boyfriend?

So I went on a my first, online first date...I think that makes sense. Not a bad experience overall, but certainly not a real chance to continue either. The girl was very pretty, fun, and very intense. I felt before we had even met that she had decided we were going to be an item. Who I was or what I was about seemed of little concern... In spite of conversation that highlighted our different approaches to life, goals, fun, etc., she would not be deterred.

I should've seen this coming by the sheer volume of text messages that led up to the first date. And in reality, I did, but I was giving it a shot. Did the numerous mentions of future events we could do together deter me? Was it the near-constant stream of texts I received from the moment she had my phone number? Or maybe it was the phone call I received that same day after not texting back for an hour...all before we had ever met. Maybe... But more likely it was the emotional instability/immaturity that this conveyed.

I can't in my heart bring myself to 'name' this girl for the blog - she was so sweet and fun, but so clearly desperate. She has been hurt by many men in her life, which is unsurprising given her approach, and she's just the type of girl a d-bag (not you, Professor) would have his fun with. I hereby want to punch them all in the face. I wish her the best of luck.

Not a terrible first experience. She was at least fun, nice, and attractive - which really is a great start. Now let's add some emotional stability, a dash of confidence, and a little more intelligence and we'll be there.
