Date #20

So a million years ago when I was still in High School my best friend "Mike" was dating a girl named "Jane". Mike kinda freezes up like a deer when dealing with women. Because of this his relationship with Jane isn't going very well. So, he asks me to come along on a double date, show him some pointers. For the date, he is going to fix me up with "Heather". Heather is the girl who originally introduced Mike and Jane. Heather also happens to be interested in Mike, though he doesn't know it. I can't fathom the teenage girl mind on why she would set him up with someone else. Staying on point, neither Mike or I know that Heather is interested in him. So we are off to see a movie. Mike is the kind of guy who lets the movie absorb him and tune the rest of the world out. He is totally ignoring Jane. So like any best friend, I am trying to get his attention. I do the "classic" arm stretch to try and get my hand where I can flag Mike and let him know he needs to pay some attention to his date. Did I mention he gets engrossed in his movies? My head is turned to get Mike's attention and I'm looking behind the girls' heads. Heather looks up at me and decides that I am trying to kiss her. She swings her head away and I end up with a mouthful of her hair that tastes like what ever nasty stuff she put into it to keep it "springy". I got a creep label and Mike and Jane broke up a few weeks later. Ah, the teenage years. I am happy to report that 20yrs later Mike and I are happily married to different women and can laugh at those days gone by. (Two Rivers, WI)
