My First Date With My "Soon To Be Bride" The First Installment.

Many, many, many years ago either my friend or my future wife's friend, I can't remember which, arranged a blind date for me with my " Soon To Be Bride". incidentally for purposes of protecting the innocent ( Me) I shall refer to her as the STBB (Soon To Be Bride) from now on in this blog, and maybe in my current life as well. Anyhow after this blind date was arranged someone, my STBB always says it was me, decided we should double date, and go shoot pool and then go out to eat. First you should know that in the middle 1960's, the time many, many, many years ago of which I write, had decreed that shooting pool was now "cool". Prior to our blind date many new sanitized pool halls had opened with their express market targets being girls, women, and others of the female sex who up until the invention of magenta colored pool tables would never even think of looking into, much less walking into a Pool Hall. Anyway once society had made it permissible for dates to go into pool halls, off we went the double date, me and my STBB. From, what I can remember the time in the pool hall went well, no blood or other bodily fluids was shed, and everyone on the double date and the other people already in the selected Pool Hall all remember to act like it was socially acceptable to be in the pool hall instead of how they would have acted before magenta pool table covers. To the best of my knowledge no written record exists recording the scores of the pool games we played, but I am reasonably certain that as a practitioner of the art of dating I would have allowed my STBB to win. With such subtlety, that she and her girlfriend would never have known they were being allowed to win. On the other hand they might have just beaten my friend and I outright, but my male ego does does not allow me to recognize that possibility.
