Star Crossed or how a first date can go wrong!

[Daisy]

My GS1 is nearly 15, but quite 'young' in many ways.

Today he had a date with a girl he has met at climbing. They have been climbing buddies for a while, and today they were meeting for lunch and the cinema.

His mum took him there and then went shopping. Then she had a frantic call, GS1 was in the loo at the restaurant, feeling sick! "First date nerves" decreed mum.

But it wasn't! He really was poorly!

So she rushed back and took them both back home. GS1 had a temperature and was feeling very nauseous. His date was very sweet. She made a fuss of their dog, and had a nice chat with his mum about gel nails etc, and eventually her dad came to collect her.

Poor GS1 was gutted.

But the great thing is that he coped! He phoned his mum when he realised that he wasn't well enough to cover it up, and he was apologetic to the young lady, and concerned that they had wasted cinema tickets that had already been purchased. So, I feel really proud of him for coping so well in such a difficult and unexpected situation.

When his mum started to tell me the tale, my heart sank in case she hadn't turned up, but even though it wasn't what they'd planned, I feel so proud of him for coping.

Oh what a shame for them both Daisy!
But how well he coped, and he is to be praised for that. He sounds a very mature lad.
Let's hope Date Number 2 goes smoothly
..and I hope GS1 is better soon!

[Qwerty]

Bless that young man, yes he coped and she seems to have taken it in her stride, let’s hope they have a better time on date number 2 these things happen unfortunately hope he’s feeling better soon , it will be something to talk about when they next meet up anyway , which can be a problem not knowing what to say to each other , the ice will definitely have been broken

[Oma]

Oh Bless him he must have been gutted and embarrassed ,
At least he had the mind to ring his Mother and admit he wasn't well , the girl sounds a nice young lady ,I'm sure there will be other dates ,
Fingers crossed he recovers quickly xx

[Daisy]

I just hope they will be able to laugh about it! Hopefully there will be a next time, and it will go smoothly!

How embarrassing for your GS Daisy, good job mother was able to rescue him. The young lady sounds very nice, taking it in her stride.

[Nanto2girls]

They both acted like adults, all praise to them.

Hope he is feeling better Daisy.

[Daisy]

Thank you, Nanto. Yes he's fine today.

What a disappointment for them but such a sensible young man to phone his mum his young friend sounds quite delightful taking it all in her stride and chatting to your DD hopefully they can rearrange when DGS feels better and enjoy their film.

What a shame for them both Dasiy! But well done to GS1 for having the sense to call Mum and not have been taken ill in the cinema. And well done to the young lady for coping so admirably too. I do hope there's going to be another date with no mishaps!
