Back in the game

When I met and married Chad I was relieved to have the whole dating game done and over with. Little did I know that the game had just begun. We had to make new married friends, so the whole dating process started again. Now that we have moved, we need to make new friends and thus we must date new people. We go to church, scan the room looking for a couple that seem similar to us, someone we could "ask out". We debate who is going to go over and talk to them, and eventually who is going to ask them out. Last night I spent an hour on citysearch trying to find a place for our date tonight. After the date Chad and I will analyize the other couple (what did you think about her? what about him?), and analyze how we did (did I talk to much? why didn't you tell me I had food in my teeth the whole time?). So here is to getting back in the game again, and don't even act like you don't know what I am talking about...

Pick someone with kids so they know why you're tired at 10 PM.

Does this mean we should wait up for you to see how your date went? You can never be picky enough (okay we just want you to have lots of dates so we get Michael more - maybe you can do long Saturday dates so we can have him all day).
Love having you guys so close!!!

Couples dating can be awkward particularly when you decide you want to break up. That one is fun. How do you let a couple know when you are through, over, as in don't call or invite out anymore, it just didn't work out, it's not you, it's me, etc.

Patrick said...

that is funny. dating isn't going so well for us...
maybe we need you guys to evaluate us and tell us what our problem is. :)

We have done the dating thing and have moved on to some steady relationships. It nice to be at this level once again. I hate all the formalities of "dating."

Jenn Knight said...

I always laugh out loud when I read your posts. So funny... and so true.

Hmm... maybe speed dating for couples as the next ward activity? Why waste an entire dinner and several hours when you can tell in 5 minutes if they are who you want? :)
