And no I am not too old to remember either. Got that old time feeling again


First Date by M.A.Meddings

I am feeling like a school boy on his first date 
All dressed up hoping shes not late 
Taking good care I had a comb for my hair 
And  just wondering where 
I arranged to meet her 
Was it right here or just across the street away down ?
By the Scala I am sure it was 
Oh! My head  
Or was it the Odean
Cant remember  what we said 
Because I confess 
When she said just where 
I never even heard her I was floating on air 
And did I clean my shoes and straighten my tie 
Let me look in that shop window  
Oh! My Oh! My 
I look a mess 
Will she even guess 
If I rub my shoes on my trouser leg 
And I really dont recall what my sister said about girls
And  body splash 
Just a dash she said 
Dont go over your head 
A subdued ambience
If you have a chance you will know it 
She will stand real close 
And then just show it 
The way she thinks you are wonderful 
After all it is only your first date 
So please god dont you be late

Hi, Mike, just like it happens on the first date, then later you laugh at yourself for being such a bundle of nerves... But at that moment your life is hanging on it- it is a matter of life and death for you...
(((Hugs for the Nostalgia piece))))
Love, Zoya

Well done, hero! We never outgrow it, do we? ;-,?

this gives me a chuckle and a smile. The tenderness, the longing to please, the honest expression of nervousness are very endearing. You know girls get that same way too. Maybe we don't wipe shoes on our trousers legs, but we most certainly will check the store window for imperfections.
Oh yes, where did we plan to meet? lol
