What not to do on a DATE!

Okay ladies, so I have been dating, and I like this guy, let's call him E (not his real name nor initial). So E and I have a mutual friend. After pondering and looking around, I began to realize I liked E more than a friend and I told our mutual friend X, and X set us up on a date. So after the 3rd date I finally told E that I like him more than a friend. We are still exploring where all this will lead, and it's all very early, but after the recent date...I am not so sure LOL. So, here's what I did WRONG and caused annoyances...NOTE: THIS is supposed to be poking fun at me and not E nor X...

Annoyance #1-We went at a little town (Claremont) and there was no "public" parking, so we had to park elsewhere. I wish we found the public parking that I had in mind.

Annoyance #2-He booted a flashdrive with linux system for me, and it did not run on my mac, despite him haven tried to compromise for my mac. Additionally, he stayed up late making that flashdrive for me.

Annoyance #3-He's borderline type 2 diabetic, and the yogurt place we went to did not have sugar-free stuff (on the website, it said it did!GRRR)

Annoyance #4-Since it was a small place and a lot of traffic, it made him uncomfortable and brought about his PTSD (he's a former marine)

Annoyance #5- I was mentally checked out, so when driving to another area, he was trying to make an exit and wanted my help to see if the road was clear. Thus, he said "help me" but I did not know what he meant nor did it register through my brain. 0-o

Annoyance #6-I almost fell after dinner...so the klutz factor came out....
so those were the main things I did wrong, however I know I did not have control over most of them. Not to mention, I had no idea that the town would bring out his PTSD...I WAS so embarrassed and felt so bad that I evoked those bad memories. Fortunately, E felt comfortable with me to voice these things as they happened. Therefore, he's good at communicating his feelings, emotions and in general. Yay! I did redeem myself by talking nerdy stuff (we are both into Star Trek: TNG, love computers, Star Wars, and other stuff)
