I had a date last night. It was truly lovely. My date picked me up at my house. He showed up on my doorstep wearing a snazzy suit and tie and holding a bouquet of roses along with a card which mentioned my unfading beauty.
I was then whisked off to dinner at a very trendy, very classy restaurant where I was told we were going to take a "leisurely stroll through the courses on the menu" accompanied by a bottle of Pinot Grigio.
Throughout the evening, I was handed additional little cards with various words and phrases on them...all adding up at the end to a wonderful message about the beauty of a godly woman.
After a fantastic evening filled with excellent conversation, my date drove me home, walked me to my door and kissed me. At which point I hit him on the head with my purse.
So okay, maybe this isn't the full story...but I'm not making any of it up. All of those things happened, including the ending. Sigh.

A small part of me always hoped that someone would kiss me before I was ready so that I could smack him... no lie :)
i love abby.
& my goodness, date?! these are among the few things i feel i should be privy to before they make the internet!
ha, you are adored.
Wait...he tried to kiss you so you smacked him? I'm confused. Unless he tried something else. As a guy the evening seemed incredibly sappy, shouldn't he get some sort of bonus points for that, at least enough for forgiveness.
As I mentioned in my original post, this is not the full story.
Jes, you didn't really miss any news of an actual date. I'll fill you in over email soon.
Mookee,
You're right. The guy didn't deserve to get smacked over the head for that one little kiss. It was an accident.
Abby,
That cracks me up!
I should also ask, was this a first date? Did you know him (meaning maybe a first date, but you work with him -- or something along those lines)?
Obviously (as you've stated), there's information I'm missing. Personally, the conversation should be good enough. If you can't have a good one on a first date, it's probably time to pack it up and just take a free dinner (yes, that's right, even in today's world of equality I always insist on paying -- at least for the first one -- even if I know it's not going to go anywhere.
Anyway, I'll leave it at that. I don't want to sound too much like a jerk my first time out (although this would be second). Surely I'll say something that will warrant a purse across the head, but I'd rather plan that out so I'm well prepared in advance.
