The things that happen when my sister and her friend take me out for dinner and a movie:

1. I have learned that hard cider can be tasty. And when I'm only drinking the 2 ounce sample glass, I can drink that over dinner and with a cup of iced coffee and not get giggly or fall asleep.

2. Or at least, no more giggly than can be accounted for with my sister and her best female friend sitting there trying their level best to make me blush and fall over laughing.

3. It is never a good idea to tell said women that you have never even kissed a guy. They start talking about locking you in a closet with random friends of theirs, and don't accept "but I want to, you know, actually be interested in a guy before I kiss them" as a valid rebuttal.

4. They also started plotting about who they need to introduce me to as part of their plot to get me dating. Which is rather embarrassing, at least the way they went about it. Funny, but kind of embarrassing.

5. Mama Mia is an incredibly fun movie. It's utterly campy, and it refuses to take itself seriously, so it's perfect for a girl's night out when you want to laugh.

6. It is especially fun in a theater where the other people around you are singing along and dancing to the music.

7. Cold Stone Creamery ice cream is just way too sweet for me. I like ice cream just fine, normally, but theirs is just too sweet for me to eat. I'm rather glad I abstained and let the others grab their deserts then, because it was far too much for me.

Yeah, isn't it fun when your friends decide for you that you need to date? Though I'm sure your sister, at least, understands that you'll date when you meet the right guy, not just date for the sake of dating. It could be good for you though, to have them introduce you to some guys, because they probably know you well enough to know what kind of guy you'd potentially hit it off with. If it comes to that, I might advise you not to shy away from accepting a date just because you're not sure you're completely interested. I had more than one occasion where I wasn't too into a guy when I first met him, and ended up really liking him at the end of a date. I also learned a lot about what I want in guy I want to date by dating a few different guys, even though some of them I only went out with once or twice. (Mind you, this wasn't like a different guy every weekend--not quite that kind of girl--this was going on a date or two once in a while over a couple of years.)

I think Cold Stone Creamery is way overrated. The one time I was there, the ice cream just didn't have a lot of flavor, other than being sweet. For the price, gimme Ben and Jerry's.

Oh, I have no objection to going on a few dates with a guy to see if I might like him. Or to them setting me up, as I do trust Elizabeth to listen to my tastes and interests. I just kind of found their teasing and immediate jump to find guys for me a bit over the top.

Especially since I've been spending this last year pretty much being grateful I wasn't dealing with potential boyfriends, from observing what was going on in my friends' lives when they dated.

And yeah, if I'm going out to have ice cream, Ben and Jerry's all the way.
