Your waiter really won't kill you for changing your mind.

Ah yes, it sounds so logical in a vacuum... but in skylark-first-date-mode I think I'd be paranoid that I'd be viewed (by my date, not the waitor) as an unoriginal copycat who doesn't know what she wants. :-)

My goodness, am I glad I'm not still dating. As you can see from above, dating was not exactly a relaxing experience for me a lot of the time. Coincidentally, I shared the following revelation only a week ago with my husband: I knew he was the one because he was the only man I ever dated that I felt comfortable being 100% myself (as opposed to 90% me, 10% what I thought he'd prefer).
