Generally single people never hear the stories of dates gone right. Instead you hear those horror stories of first dates gone bad or worse. Many of us have experienced a bad first date. There are the over-anxious types who can't seem to keep their hands to themselves. Then there is the other extreme, the really shy person who gives up very little to the conversation, if you can even call it conversation.

I have had some bad first dates. But I had never experienced a first date gone almost perfect. This has all changed, however, after a recent date.

The two of us met for the first time on a blind date for dinner at a local restaurant. I had a feeling that things were going to be different from other first dates I had been on, but I had no idea just how different things were going to be. Of course we were both experiencing the blind-date and first-date nerves, but it was crazy how smoothly everything began to go after the nerves started to wear off.

I found him incredibly easy to talk to, a huge plus, because I tend to be a very shy person until I get to know someone fairly well. The conversation over dinner did not seem to be forced at all, which let's face it, can happen when one person is more interested in the other person than vice versa.

In fact, the entire date was so comfortable that I felt I had known him for a major part of my life and that we were just out for dinner.

During dinner, we even began to plan our next date, which would be the stereotypical dinner and a movie. After the first date went so well, I have to admit I wasn't sure how the second date would go. The conversation and overall interaction between us was so easy, would that mean we were destined to be nothing more than friends?

No matter what was to happen on the second date, I knew that this was a first date that I would remember for a very long time.
