Best Date Ever

I've been thinking a lot about my best date ever. It was six months ago, a first date, and actually a blind date at that. I actually had to take an anxiety pill before going and I had friends approve my outfit. Our meal was a disaster, but our conversation flowed; we talked for four hours. He was smart and well-traveled. On paper, he pretty much check all the boxes. We had a unreal initial connection. We spent two months trying to make it work, but distance and time among other things were our demise. Though we didn't work out, I'm still hopeful that a better first date is still to come and I've learned more about what's important to me in a relationship.
