HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Dating after cancer: What is 2nd base?

Thought I would lighten up the board with a little comic relief: my dating life

I feel like a Tween. I have invited the guy I have gone out with 3 times over for dinner. And you know what that means...some bases are going to passed. Gulp. I have done as much prepping as I think I need to, rabbit and all...and I am ready for whatever this guy throws at me. So ladies, wish me luck tonight...someone other than a tech or doctor is going to be looking at my tatas.
