This is the story of a girl, a guy and a dog. A very happy and energetic dog. The type that casually wanders off to sniff people’s crotches when you’re in a deep conversation about the hardships of dating as a Millennial. Okay, I made up the private parts sniffing but this dog was really enthusiastic about jumping people and other dogs (especially dogs of the same sex, no bitches for him. Not kidding here). Having the dog with us created a different dynamic. It’s not about better or worse, just different. It’s like your date would have brought her mute sister. She’s not saying anything, she doesn’t bother you but she’s still there. It would have been just a different date when she would have stayed in her sign language boarding school.
For me this was my first blind date and a blind date in its purest form. Literally the only piece of information I had about her was that she would bring a dog. That was all and that was okay. Keep those expectations low, see how it goes and go with the flow. She did the same. She told me she did not do a lot of pre-reading to keep the blindness in the blind date. Great minds think alike. What I appreciate about blind dates is not per se the thrill of the unknown. I like the fact that you start with a clean slate without any assumptions, judgments or impressions. You just let your curiosity do its work. A discovery of the other person.
This was also my first arranged date. There was a middle person involved. Those referrals, keep’em coming. The best compliment you can give me is to share this blog with others, and/or arrange me a date with someone who would like the concept and be a potential good fit with yours truly. Maybe you have a talent for being a love broker!
I know you’re all dying to read a silly pun about eating dogs. Well, I’m sorry the disappoint you, I had no intentions to consume the doggo, I only wanted to wok the dog.
