Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sounds great! Go you!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds excellent, Tom!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Of course, the only thing I'm dwelling on is how badly I may have screwed things up at the end.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It all went perfectly until the end of the date, when I tried to get a little more emotional, and then the whole fight-or-flight response kicked in.

To clarify: I'm betting you neither bopped her one or literally ran away, right? In that case, it sounds excellent.

There is almost no brief weirdness that a nice phone call/email/other type interaction can't smooth over.

Awesome Tom.

Fight or flight response is not that unusual at the end of a first date. Or at least, not for me.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Totally normal. Sounds like a good time, Scola.

I'm usually OK by the end of the date, but I've never had a first date where I didn't think I was too sick to my stomach to make it there.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Go Scola!

This? Also normal. I hope.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Exactly. And GO YOU!
