New Best First Date Ever

It was this last January and we went to Godfrey's Indoor Shooting Range in Junction City, KS. I'd never been to a shooting range and hadn't shot that much. We shot an AK-47 semiautomatic rifle, a .38 special, and a glock. It was a fun activity I hadn't tried before. I did archery as a kid and am decent at hitting a target. I was most comfortable with the glock. We shot for a really long time then headed back to Manhattan for dinner and a couple of movies. After getting back from the range, I found a shell casing in my scarf. :)

When I think about why the date was the best ever, it was probably because it was well-thought out and not your typical first date. Also, I really liked the guy more than I've liked any of the other guys I'd gone out with.

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.
