Pre-Dating Worries

Please be as cute as you were in that photo.

Please be as sweet as you were in your text.

Please be as patient as you were when we messaged.

Please be as honest as you were online.

Please be as intriguing as you were on the phone.

Please don't be a secret douche bag!!!

Please be respectful to my friends!

Please be as open as you were when you asked me out.

Please be as close to the person that I connected with behind the screen....In fact, please be better!

And after we meet, and connect, and meet again and again... please hug me, and hold me and make me smile.

Grow with me!  Don't tell me you are amazing....Show me you are amazing!

You don't have to be perfect by any means, just be you.  The real you!

And if you are fake and just trying to get laid, we will just add one more to the douche jar and call it a day.  :)

Dr. Miranda Bailey may not be able to help me with this one!  I am about to head to class where I will obtain my first exposure to sex therapy in couples therapy. 

I don’t get to use the word va-jay-jay.  I have to be a grown up and use grown up words. 

Aside from Shawn drawing penises on the shower door so that after a hot steamy bath I see…well penises on the door.  And other than me retaliating by playing our version of the penis/vagina game by crossing out his drawings and writing “VAGINA” in all caps on the mirror…

Well, I just don’t think I have said the words penis or vagina…out loud…to another human being…seriously.

Tonight I have to be a grown up.   In order to learn how to be an effective counselor and help people in the real world, I have to say two simple words-and I can’t giggle.

Penis.

Vagina.
