I asked you a couple of weeks ago about how I would fare in (at the time) an up-coming dating event. I though I'd give you an update since you probably want to feedback. (Overall, I think you did pretty good.)
I did indeed meet someone. I met her for a second time last weekend. We had a good time talking for a couple of hours (or maybe three) but we decided to go our own separate ways. The fact that she was still partial to the v*ccine narrative and had taken her shots spiked (pun intended) any possibility of a relationship with her. (My health suffered when I dated someone previously who had taken at least a couple of the shots. One of the nurses that saw me at the time thought I had taken the shots myself since my symptoms seemed to match up with some of the common side-effects.) The fact the she is also obese did not help either, though, if I am being honest.
As for community, I had indicated on my speed dating sheet that I wanted to meet again ALL THE WOMEN I met that day. When I received the email from the organizers the next day, I was told that NO ONE I liked (so, everyone I met that day) wanted to meet with me again.... but that I should consider one of the women I had met that day because she liked me?! (The implication being that I had indicated on my speed dating sheet that I did not like her... which is not true.) It seemed like it was not very well organized, or that the organizers don't like me, or... something... I don't know, but I do not think that I got my moneys worth.
Anyway...
As a high school teacher, I am a bit concerned about this week. (It's that time of the year when teenagers can be at their crankiest.) Anything I should keep an eye out for? Anything I should do or not do?
