Antsy (again)

Over the past while, some things have been developing for yours truly.  I held off this long because I thought saying anything too early might jinx it.
I finally have a potential date set up in about a week.  Yes, you read that right.  I have a date.  With a girl.  This has not happened in a long time.*  Needless to say, I'm very excited about this, and also very nervous at the same time.  I've been more or less out of the game for a very long time, and there are a whole lot of things that I'm trying to remember about date etiquette, and I'm also worrying about my own awkwardness.  As well as being a first date, this will also be my first time meeting someone from the internet, so this increases the whole nervous/excited feeling.
In addition to all of that, she has already mentioned that there is another guy she's interested in.  I was a little stunned to find this out at first, but I appreciated her honesty about the situation.  As I told her, I find it better to know about these things beforehand than to find out and feel hurt about it afterwards.  I think that this extra element of competition has improved my focus on things though.  Even though I'm nervous, I'm more determined than ever to make this date perfect and memorable.  I don't really have a plan for this, but I'm hoping it will show in my personality and how I present myself.  I don't know a thing about this other guy, but I want to make her forget all about him.
I realize that I haven't said much about this girl, but again, this is more from fear of jinxing things.  Rest assured, if all goes according to plan, you will be getting all sorts of info in future posts.  For now, all I will say is that she's one of the cutest ladies I've ever seen, and just looking at her picture can turn a bad day around completely.  And she likes Doctor Who, so I'm pretty sure she's a keeper.
I've got a good feeling about this one.  


*For those of you who read regularly, you might remember I had a kind-of date (or two, even) with Number Three not too long ago, but I'm not counting that, for reasons that should probably be understandable.  Let us speak no more of the subject.
