An Uplifting Date

By: Chris Kennedy (View Profile)

Every date is its own hot air balloon ride. It begins with the sky as the limit. Though it can look scary, you still have to hop in. Your stomach usually starts feeling a bit unsettled. But if you can get past that initial fear, you can start to relax. Your effort is like the torch, the more you put in, the higher you climb and the longer it will last. The ending is always unknown, so take in the view and enjoy the ride.

To date is to dare and if you keep this in mind, you may not land right on Target, but you’ll end up pretty close.

I have the receipt to prove it.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! As I was reading this I could actually feel that heady feeling of how it is to have instant chemistry and total spontaneity on a marathon date. Not enough of that going around these days, so thank you for restoring faith. Hope springs eternal!

Still can't get over your date buying a bathing suit at Target on the spur of the moment - what a woman. It takes me months to find one. Thanks for the story, though now i'm wondering why I've never had a date like this. Hmmm.
