Once more unto the breach

I once again tried speed dating tonight. I haven’t been for a year, so I’m a little rusty. Or not as traumatized. There was a reason I hadn’t been for awhile?
The reason I decided to go was that it was located on Whyte avenue. Finally one I can walk to. And because I’m not driving, I can take some liquid courage beforehand. I know many people would disapprove of that, but I think it did help to take the edge off the evening. I did relax more. And it is a situation where I want to be more myself, and not tense.
However, I have never had any luck at any of these, and I don’t see why this will be any different this time.
Hope springs eternal.
