Raised Eyebrows

So tonight is date #4 with Hercules. Although we've kept minimal contact over the past two weeks, he still insisted that we go to see Cirque du Soleil in Long Beach. I was perfectly content to sell the tickets on eBay, but, I really do enjoy watching people in spandex outfits defy the laws of gravity on all sorts of props.

Should be an interesting evening. I've already changed my outfit twice and now I think I look like I'm ready to go salsa dancing - in Pradas, of course. Whatevs. Maybe I should have gone for more of a "Phoenix" look - ha ha. Although, not really sure what that would consist of - shorts and a tank top? Probably not appropriate for tonight's venue, but, hey, something to consider if there are additional dates.

Which brings up a valid concern. Is the "premature verbal ejaculation" that happened on our last date going to be the elephant in the room for the duration of the evening? As I am attempting "time release", I am not going to bring it up and I doubt after the last debacle that he will either. Will we approach it as a "mulligan" or will it cause an awkward silence buffered only by the people flying from side to side on leather trapeze? If that's the case maybe I can just catch a ride home with one of the performers. Or do they live in those tents?
