Lemme add a bit more context (I posted the OP from my phone which is no fun to type something longer than a few sentences). I've been single for three years. In those three years I've been on maybe 3 or 4 really really BAD first dates. The kind where you call back just to be nice and say something like "hey, it was cool meeting you." and then get told they're moving and don't want to pursue anything....then find out a few months later they didn't move. Or the kind where you're out with a lovely person and they talk about how much they want kids and want to get married, talk about "when are you going to get surgery, what kind of STP do you use?" and making you escort them to the women's bathroom when there is a gender neutral one...and they're not a trans guy. Yea, it's...bad.
SO! I'm really friggen hoping to break that awful streak and have maybe an okay date (low standards). Currently, I own one T-shirt, and one pair of jeans that fit. Today I'm going to check out Goodwill to see if there's anything there, but being short and kinda chubby it's hard to find clothes that fit. I'm self conscious of how I look, and really really really don't want to have to correct people on pronouns while on a date (she's also straight). The stress that exists is very much there.
