Dan's Place - March 27th, 8:30pm
I take a deep breath and another step closer to his door. I didn't think I would be this nervous, it's just Dan, but this is not just one of our nights out. This is our first real date. I had made a reservation at Donetello's, the super fancy Italian resturant downtown, so hopefully this night will go well. It has to go well. I want it to, no I need it to.
This is the start of Dan and I being more than just kisses and lowered pants, we would really be a couple. I smile at the thought and then the nervousness rears it's ugly head again and I take a step backwards. Opening myself to this means closing any door I still had waiting open for Elliot. It means that my heart is placed back on my crisply ironed sleeve and Dan could tear it off and stomp it into the ground at any moment . Knocking on that door means that I'm finally ready to move on and leave a broken relationship in the past. I march forward like the soldier I'm pretending to be and raise my fist at attention. Come on Keith, just move it in a knocking motion, you can do this. The door swings open before I can make my move and I'm left looking like an idiot or a sock puppet performer, minus the sock.
