Like yesterday, I didn't do much until I had to get moving. But I did get to TCL's place on time for a change. And this was for the best, as the restaurant we went to was empty when we got there, but packed when we left.
TCL lives in a nice little town in New Jersey, her house being less than 1,000 feet away from the local railroad station. If the railroad wasn't there, we could have walked to the restaurant. Instead, we had to drive 1/2 mile to reach the place. (This is not a problem for us.) On the way there, she mentioned the purchase of an undergarment to be worn in case she might get "lucky". (This is something you'd say to a good friend, and she made sure I knew that it was for a "someone else" if he came along.) I already knew that she had no intentions towards me, and I let her know that, so she could feel more comfortable after saying that.
A minute later, I parked the car at the restaurant. As expected, the place was empty, and we were seated at a nice table, where we proceeded to have a nice Italian meal with some red wine. (The place is BYOB, so TCL has taken care of the wine when we go to this restaurant.) By the time we left, the place was packed with at least a dozen people waiting by the door. And then, it was the short drive home.
We chatted in the car for about 45 minutes, and then she had to go in and I had to go home. I was amazed that she didn't make a comment on my newly pierced ears. But then, she was focused on something else - how to tell someone something without making that person feel awkward. I gave her some ideas on how to approach discussing the topic with her friend, and hope she refines them into something she finds she can use for herself.
