Date done

The first date is done (obviously in that it's twelve hours later) and went really well. I didn't embarrass Boy 1. His grandfather did a little bit, but seriously, it could have been much worse. She seems very nice, quiet, still a bit nervous.

They sat and watched TV while I made dinner and it was Very Quiet. I think because she was nervous and he was nervous and OMGwe'resittingonacouchtogether! At dinner she talked a little bit while I tried to balance the line between grilling the girl who has caught my baby's attention and just having conversation. I'm not good at grilling so I think it stayed well on the side of conversation. Must work on that. I'm sure grilling will come in handy at some point.

I only had call Boy 1 out to the kitchen once, to remind him that perhaps they were sitting a little toocloseonthecouch and it would be more respectful for them to be sure to keep their hands to themselves. I also told him next time I wouldn't call him into the kitchen, I'd say it to the both of them which would be mortifying and so luckily I didn't have to speak to him again. They stayed thisclose but kept their hands in line.

Boy 1 was all relaxed until we drove her home and he made some joke about haha, he hadn't had to meet her parents and I burst his bubble by saying he'd probably meet them when he walked her to her door. Which he did. Fairs fair after all.
