If it was a disaster, I don’t want to force him to talk about it. If it was great, I assume he would have called me early to go over the details, but then I remember we’re in new territory. He’s never been on a date before so I really don’t know what he would do. I don’t know if he’ll become one of those people who gets into a relationship and drops all his friends. It scares me a little, especially when I go the whole day without hearing from him. Finally, before bed, I send him a text: So? How was it? I get ready for the worst and think about the speech I’ve planned: “Even if it was a disaster, it’s still good that you tried. You were brave, which is the most important part.” Then he answers: Great. We spent most of today together, too. He needed new dress pants for a band concert coming up. He’s a terrible shopper so I went to the mall with him. Richard hates shopping. He always says he’d do it more if it didn’t involve looking in mirrors or trying on clothes.
