First RM date... awkward!!!

So, just a little disclaimer,

my definition of a date is when two people of opposite genders

are together doing some kind of activity, doesn't matter

what it is, if they're doing it together, it's a date.

If they're not already married, that is.

Anyway.

So, Tuesday, Peter came over! 

I don't know if I had said this, but he and I had kind of "ended" 

our friendship back in 2012 because he started dating

some awful girl who really did him wrong.

But, that's beside the point.  

While I was on my mission, he wrote me, and said

he wants to be friends again! Yay!

When, I got home, he asked me if we could hang out, 

so he came over yesterday while I was packing.

Oh yeah, my family is moving across the country, btw.

After I was done packing up all my stuff, he wanted

to take me out somewhere, even though I was the one with the car.

So, we went to Cafe' Rio.  

I felt so bad, I kept doing all sorts of missionary things...

For example:

1. I almost opened the door for myself and for him.
2. I was using my "mission manners" while we were there.
3. I kept checking my watch.
4. I started to get a little antsy when we had been there
for over an hour...

Yeah, it was a little embarrassing.

Luckily, he's a good friend and didn't give me 

too much of a hard time about it.

The weirdest thing though, was how when we first

got there, I literally started freaking out inside

that I was by myself with a guy... 

I didn't say anything about it, 

but I was kind of having a mini-panic attack inside.

But, I'm glad I had this one to kind of "practice" with,

because I'm going on a "date" with someone I actually

really like on Friday, and I really hope that one

doesn't turn out super awkward...
