Well, well, well, it looks like my lessons with Don “Magic” Juan are starting to pay off!

Believe it or not, I was actually able to muster up enough courage to ask a girl on a date last night!  There’s this girl named Tina that lives down the street from me, and I’ve been DYING to ask her out but was too scared to do so.

I paced around for almost two hours before I finally decided to call her.  And by “call,” I mean I saw her coming out of her front door and yelled out:

“HEY TINA!!!  IF YOU’RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TONIGHT WE SHOULD GO OUT ON A DATE!!”

What? How else was I supposed to “call” her – I didn’t have her phone number!

She gave me strange look, then said the words I thought I’d never here a woman say to me before:

“Eh, sure.  I’ve got nothing better to do, and could use a free meal.”  Woo-hoo!

We set the date for 7 PM.  I spent the rest of the day grooming myself to look my best.  I shampooed my hair; used tweezers to pull out any unsightly nose hairs; spayed some banaca into my mouth (though I accidentally missed and ended up spraying my eyes instead – I nearly went blind!); and took my hamster for a walk.  Okay, that last part had nothing to do with preparing for the date – I just knew he needed to be walked before I left my house!

Finally, it was time to pick Tina up for our date.  I walked over to the house, knocked on the door…

…and another girl answered the door.

“Hi,” she said, “I’m Amber.  Tina is still getting ready – come on in!”

Whew! I was just happy I had the right house.  At first I thought Amber was Tina’s sister.  If she was, I thought it was kind of weird that Tina, being Black, would have an Asian sibling that looked nothing like her.  Unless, of course, her Dad was Asian AND Black, and was somehow able to have multi-racial babies, which would be AWESOME!

But no – Amber told me that Tina had told her about my date invitation, and was “so excited” that she wanted to bring someone else along to share in the good time!

And boy, did we have a good time!  Tina drove us out to dinner, and I got to sit in the back while enjoying Tina and Amber’s conversation to each other in the front of the car!  Then, at dinner, I got to sit on one side of the table by myself while Tina and Amber told secrets to each other back and forth!  (They must have really liked the way I looked in my skinny jeans and baggy brown shirt – they kept whispering to each other and pointing at me the whole night!)

And then, when it was time for us to go to the movies, they let ME walk ahead of them (like I was the leader of the group, oh yeah) so I could lead them to the ticket counter and buy us all tickets!

The best part: while in the movies, I got sit between both of them!  And by “sit between,” I mean they sat next to each other while I sat in the seat directly behind them, which just so happened to line up behind both of their seats.  It was so awesome!

At the end of the date, Tina drove me back to my apartment.  The last thing she said to me was something about Amber and her going to have some “freaky” girl time together, and that I might get hurt were I to come along.  I don’t know what’s so “freaky” about girls spending time together, but oh well.  I was just happy that I was able to go out with TWO women at the same time!

Heh heh heh, looks like I’m finally starting to get this whole dating thing.  Maybe next time I go on a date, I might actually get the girl to talk to me AND her friend the whole night!
