David managed to keep the events of date number two with Amy out of his head for a couple of days. But as his head cleared and he got back into his normal routine it started to creep into his mind without invite. Work was not enough to fend off his worries of the date, nor was running, piano, violin, dishes, reading or any other of his daily activities.
He didn't want to jump to a hasty conclusion about the date so he thought it through carefully. He attempted to go over each aspect of what he decided to term as the "club" date. First we had the "dinner" date then we had the "club" date, he thought. In fact as he thought through that night he made one of his wonderful pros and cons lists, again. Unfortunately, this time the cons were tipping the scales quite a bit. There was no denying that there was an animal attraction there. The physical attraction and result was super, but was there more than that; David wondered?
Several times, while making his pros/cons list, he became frustrated with himself and put it down. He felt he might just be leaning toward the negative side because he felt regret for jumping into bed so soon. He put the list down and went for a walk, then played violin, then resigned himself that he must complete his thoughts on the subject before it drives him batty.
After more than a few agonizing hours David formed a "temporary" opinion of the situation. He simply couldn't bring himself to draw a line on the club date with Amy yet. He was torn in too many directions. He had taken a big step toward the cons though, by acknowledging that Amy was quite egotistical and downright rude at times. This was especially difficult for David to do. He can be positive to a fault, and this can cause him to look past obvious problems and work diligently to find the good in people; even when it's not really there. Even though he knew about this quirk in his psyche he was struggling with it.
Once he completed forming his painful "temporary" opinion of his last date with Amy, David decided to get back to daily life; chores to be done.
