First Date

[3rdtimesacharm]

I met my husband when I was 16, and 6 months later he joined the military, I moved across the country when I was almost 19 and the rest is history. We are closer to family now and I see them once every couple months or so, but life is great. A well-paying, secure job, and the values and military lifestyle is very empowering for military wives managing on their own weeks at a time.
It could be worse, he could have NO life aspirations and/or be a scum bag! I think it sounds like she is a very smart girl and he sounds like a catch!
Glad to hear it went well!!

LOL not sure if this helps ebhappydc's anxiety lol talking about moving across the country as a military wife when her daughter is just going on her first date haha I can just imagine the "OMG" going on in her head now.

That being said you are definitely right 3rdtimesacharm (I'm not trying to be rude making this comment, simply imagining the train of thought ebhappydc might be having thinking about what happened with you). Could be a hell of a lot worse like you said...and I really wouldn't worry about the direction he is taking in life at the first date stage.

Ha-ha you're right Bright about my anxiety; I'm okay. 3rdTime sounds pretty happy so that helped me actually. I tell myself if she finds someone that is good to her and she's happy, then I'm good too. We'll see where it goes which could also be nowhere. At least my pretty little bookworm has a date under her belt!
