Dear Greg,

I went on this fabulous first date with a sports writer. This was on a Monday. I felt we really connected. We both like South Western cooking, the outdoors and especially camping. He actually said something like, “We should go camping sometime.” Which I thought was both promising and sweet. So I said, “… let me check my schedule.” We laughed about it. Two nights later her took me to a baseball game and the night after that we went dancing. Both times he brought up the camping thing, even saying maybe we could go that weekend. I told him I had a cousin who was having her baby shower but maybe the weekend after that. He said that he was going to be on the road and that this was the only chance he’d have for awhile. I told him I wasn’t going to break my plans but would block out some time when he got back. He agreed but I never heard from him again. Did I blow it? I really liked him.

Dear Camp Emily,

You did blow it. Not only should you have told your cousin to shove it, you should have also quit your job, bought a tent and camped out in front of his place. No, you didn’t blow it! You did exactly what you should have done, which is stick to your plans. You had already seen him three times that week. The fact that you never heard back makes me think that the sports writer just wanted to get you naked in a tent. Otherwise he would have gladly waited for the pleasure of your awesome company. Besides, how upset would you be had you disappointed your cousin, gone camping and then he never called again? Just keep doing what your doing, kiddo, because you’re batting a thousand.
