So The Waitress and I had a fabulous first date, until I took her to a party with me after the lovely dinner, walk in the park combination.
She came along with me to a friend's party. Everyone was extremely intoxicated, and my own drunkenness hit me pretty quickly. I panicked and worried because first impressions count. Surprisingly enough, despite my sloppiness she asked me out again for yesterday evening.
I was a little shocked, because I would have written someone off if they were that drunk in front of me on a first date. Granted, I would be considered a huge hypocrite, but still.
The question is: How forgiving should one be of another's behavior on the first date?
Another instance, same night: I drunk texted a gal, The Musician, I have a date with on Wednesday to say happy birthday- four times. Each time I said "Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday" or "Did I say happy birthday yet?" "Happy Birthday!" I apologized in the morning, and she laughed and said it was ok. I was slightly taken aback by The Musician's forgiveness. Have we really come so far that we give people second chances before ever meeting them?
Until the drama continues...
