Oh, do the meet up! It will be fun. Maybe you can visit friends Sunday and drive back Monday?

Stone, that sounds lovely. I’m glad it went well!

It is 100% ok to say, and actually have other plans, H. Honestly, if I were just starting to date someone and that guy was constantly available, I would be a little worried that he didn’t have a life. So… while dating, don’t NOT make plans with other people, friends included, in hopes that the person you’re interested in is available to do something. Also, that only helps you because you’re not sitting around wondering if he or she is into you or why they haven’t called, etc.

As for a second date, you might get together this coming up weekend? A hike or bike ride might be cool if you’re into that sort of thing?

I planned my date with the guy tonight. I’m taking a play out of AP’s book and we’re taking a water taxi to Chinatown and dining there. He seemed to really like the idea. Thanks AP!

What’s a good Chicago date? Most of our dates center around drinks and food. Last night while texting, he mentioned staying in and cooking…. but I want to suggest a fun activity. AND GO….

I’m not sure why I was afraid of mentioning going out again. Monday. Next date. Yay.

IDK, I think too much about clothes. You’re right… venue matters more. I just think a Sunday date would be more casual. People don’t dress up as much on Sunday’s.
