The only problem is ...

Recently, one of my best friends went on her first date post v. traumatic break up with boyfriend of a year. I was a smidge nervous for her, as the first date after a break up can always be a little tumultuous. A few glasses of wine, and suddenly you're weeping into your bruschetta and telling the poor lad all about that wretched bastard, and he's signaling the waiter and ushering you quickly into his car to take you home, but not to his home, just to your home, because tears = man repellent.

Not that I'd know. I'm just assuming these things can happen.

The first date after a break up rarely goes well, but it's an important first step in the enlightening process of realizing your ex might not have been the greatest thing since sliced bread and canned beer and, yes Virginia, there are other guys out there.

I didn't hear from her at all last night, until 8:30 this morning when we all received this email from her.

wow...thats about all i have to say. i had the most fun i've had in a while, the date lasted 7 hours, we TOTALLY hit it off, so that made it even more fun. he is just so interesting and interested in me, and we're going out again next week. he's very attractive and basically hes still single b/c his job always made him travel the world (darn), but hes ready to settle down and get a normal schedule. oh yes, and his manners were impeccable.

the only problem is that i can tell hes loaded.

Yes, all girls just hate when they go out on dates with attractive, interesting, rich men.

Sigh. Too bad I don't think this one will be going anywhere. ;-)
