Don’t Let Opportunities Fly Away

by RollingStone9862 under Relationships

Last Thursday evening I was walking to Gate 22 in concourse B at Chicago’s Midway Airport when I noticed an open outlet within range of my gate. Since my iPhone® was low on juice I hurried over to claim the coveted charging slot before someone else beat me to it. After hearing my phone’s chirp that indicates it’s charging I plopped down on the cold floor and leaned my back up against the electrical closet. I pulled out my laptop and opened up a new word document to begin working on a blog I had been wanting to write when my process was interrupted by an attractive blonde who I hadn’t noticed I was sharing my outlet with.

We chatted for a brief moment before she asked me to watch her luggage while she walked down the concourse to buy a bottle of water. When she returned we acknowledged each other but for some reason I didn’t try to start a conversation with her. She then began reading from her Kindle, and I went back to writing for the next few minutes before she once again asked me to watch her belongings while she went to the bathroom. When she returned we exchanged a smile but once again I couldn’t find the nerve to use even the most obvious opening line and simply ask her about where she was flying.

A few more minutes passed, and I finished writing my blog, before I realized that there was no reason why I couldn’t try to talk to this woman. Unfortunately we exchanged about 30 seconds worth of conversation before one of my players came running up to me in a semi-panic because he had misplaced his boarding pass. Since I was technically on the job I couldn’t simply put off dealing with his situation, and it wouldn’t have been appropriate for me to pass it off to another coach. I was forced to excuse myself from the conversation I was trying to begin in order to help my player.

Since this situation in the airport occurred I have played it over in my head many times, and I think what frustrates me the most is that I didn’t have the confidence to talk to a woman that I knew absolutely nothing about heading into the conversation. By being active with online dating for a while now I have gotten accustomed to having a certain amount of information about the women I am interested in heading to a conversation, including that they are single and looking to meet someone; however, when I found myself in a real-world situation I wilted.

Ultimately, as a result of this situation, I am not going to quit online dating since I have met some really great and interesting people, but at the same time I’ve realized that online dating is only one way for me to meet women. In the end I know that I need to remember there are a plethora of different places to meet people and begin relationships and that I shouldn’t be afraid of them just because I’ve gotten comfortable meeting people online.

First Dates at a Park Can be Creepy

by JeremySpoke under 100hookup

Many people cite ‘going out to a park for a first date’ as a nice alternative to conventional ways to spend a first date.  First, if you’re at a park, you’re very likely to be among children; many children.  Many park benches face the playground so that parents and guardians can watch their kids play.  Sixty percent of park benches directly face a place where there is a high concentration of children.  If none of the children playing in front of you are yours, you need to get out of there.

Children are also capable and ready to ruin your date in other ways.  I’m not just talking about kids because I’m listening to a song called Kids via Pandora® radio.  Kids, especially very young kids, have an exceptionally annoying tendency to stare at you from close distances.  This is true in any environment, but it’s especially true at a park.  If you’re having a picnic on a blanket, for example, a kid will walk up to you, sit down, and stare.  Giving them food won’t make them go away.  Hitting them is not advisable, and may get you arrested.  It’s something you just have to keep in mind if you are planning on having a first, or any, date at a park.

Finally, birds.  Birds are the worst.  There are a lot of birds, of the pigeon variety, at parks.  Birds are like flying rats, especially if they are flying rats.  Again, if you’re planning on having a picnic, kids won’t be the only distraction between you and your food.  As that one child stares at you from a foot away, birds will hover in flocks right above your head.  If you give them food, they will multiply in size.  If you don’t give them food, they will grow more agitated and might go to the bathroom on you, your date, or your food.  Please be aware of all of these things when planning a date at a park.
