And wanting to share; for whatever reason I can't explain(and my buddies tell me not to think about it too hard) Erin actually agreed to give me another chance at a date, so we'll be going out this Sunday. Just wanted to share that with someone besides my best friend, lol; it's been a tough, pretty screwed-up road getting here, but she's a nice girl and I'm glad I get to take her out after all.

Being excited is  but the nervous part of it is a lil dangerous  cos you might fumble and do sth crazy you'll regret for the rest of your life.
I think you should just try to be your full self but do not pretend to be someone/something whom/which you're not. If she likes ya, fine but if she doesn't, life goes on.
Hope things work out well between you two but I think this Erin person digs ya
Good luck

WTG Drew! Hope it works out for you both.  But, please, please, do yourself, Erin, and all of us a favor....do NOT post all the details of your date here. Let it be suffice to say you did or didn't have a good time, if you even want to share any info at all. We don't need to know anymore than that....I would hate to see anymore bashing against her, or you, like you got for your previous postings. Good luck and hope this is the beginning of something wonderful for you both

I just hope that if she should change her mind, she does not feel a posting obligates her to go. A woman can decline a date at any time she feels a red flag, a twinge of doubt, or to stay home and eat peanut butter cookies and cheetos if she feels like it(my personal fav). She does not need to do anything to stay on the good side of a message board, should she change her mind. She can do as she pleases and NEVER owes a man a date.
But have fun if it works out!

Define gentlemanly behavior. Where I'm from that's a very broad term encompassing everything from holding doors to changing tires to occasionally kicking a guy's ass for bothering her or hooting at her.
And yeah, I'd hope she's going out with me because she wants to, not because she feels obligated due to a post on a message board we both frequent.

"Kicking a guy's ass for hooting at someone" is hardly gentlemanly behavior but I guess that's just my opinion. As another person said on this thread, if it works out with the date, that's great. We all wish you both the best. But to keep bringing up the bad points of a potential relationship or lack therof and bashing that person on the forums is in bad taste, so let us know if the date goes well but if it doesn't, maybe keep that one to yourself this time

That explains it, note to self quit kicking other guys' asses, somehow I don't think I'll remember.

Hey, Big Guy,,,, another bit of advice... don't take her to "Hooters" on the first date... save that place for the second one... But, most of all.. have a good time- whatever you do...

Your buddies are right. Don't think about it too much. Just meet her in person like meeting a new friend and see how it goes.
And you have asolutely no obligation to tell us anything afterwards.
All that said, hope all's well that ends well and you both have a great time!

Define gentlemanly behavior.
"It is the duty of a gentleman to know how to ride, to shoot, to fence, to box, to swim, to row and to dance. He should be graceful. If attacked by ruffians, a man should be able to defend himself, and also to defend women from their insults"

God--I'm good!!!
I KNEW you two would be giving this crazy relationship you have been failing at so miserably another try.  I am, very likely, one of the few who was hoping you would make one more attempt. You have some pretty telling experience already behind you. Use it to enable you to make this work. You have been given some good advice on what NOT to do.
I'm with the others on this one. DO NOT do a, "Dear Diary" here. Some things need to remain sacred. No more f***ing cussing! Ya hear me, damn it?  I'm being silly, but I do mean it. 
Drew, you are on probation, as far as I'm concerned. I have faith in you, and am giving you the benefit of the doubt, but I'm watching too. She's a nice girl. Treat her with the utmost respect--always.
Have a wonderful day, tomorrow.
