Blood and Dating

I had this idea once to drink beer and play darts on a getting to know you sort of date. I was getting ready to throw the dart, hen it slipped from between my fingers. I tried to catch it, but instead just batted it up in the air. I failed to catch it and re-batted it twice more until plunged point down into my open palm. 'I caught it,' I said meekly. My date gave me a bar napkin to stop the bleeding. I did not feel smooth.

    She may be a keeper, AE. Some girls would've just laughed.

    >She may be a keeper, AE.
    - I'm with Dan on this. Did she call the next day (or sometime later) to check on your palm? Did *you*? To borrow something from Linkin Park - what the hell are (were?) you waiting for?

    And when did I become a "dating expert"? Ah, the things we discover about ourselves on blogs. ;-)

    >Some girls would've just laughed.
    - Yes, sadly, sometimes, some of my gender can be insensitive, to say the least.

    >I started writing for Engineer Blogs!
    - Congratulations!

    >Check out my first article about times I've actually used my college degree.
    - I did! Want to know how much sense it made to this non-engineer person? How many digits do you have on one hand? Take away 4 now. But how much did that deter me from commenting? Take away one from the previous answer.

    Hmm. More than one interpretation possible here. But I'll go with the initial, (cautiously) romantic, (desperately) hoping-my-instinct-is-right version that popped in my head and be all :-) for you. You go, g…uy!
