Taurus men and first dates - Are they nervous?

I have known this bull for a couple years, talk on the phone mostly, never went on a date. We have had this chemistry going on, but danced around relationship conversations until recently. He asked to take me on a date. I agreed. (We talk every day now) He lives a couple hours away.

Problem, he wanted a friend of his to drive with him to see me. Which means, his friend wanted to know if I had a friend that wouldn't mind hanging out.

We are in our 30's and to be honest, I haven't done the hook up thing since highschool. By this being our first date I got kind of annoyed that he would suggest bringing someone (I did understand that he worked late and was tired and wanted someone to drive). Although I expressed my felleings on the situation I agreed because I know he was tired. Anyway - something came up on both ends - we never had the date.

We rescheduled for next weekend, this time, I told him I would perfer to go on our first date alone and didn't mind doubling a time after that.

My friends suggested: He probably was nervous about the first date and wanted his friend to come along, what if the two of you didn't get along well on the date, then he would still have someone to hang out with before the long drive back to another city.

Hmmm, what is your take on this. We talked on and off and hung out a couple times in a group, never one-on-one, but there is a huge attraction between us an as of late we have been spending a lot of time talking on the phone, and have become closer talking about more private stuff. I like the man he is (intelligent, successful yet down to earth, personality, caring, thoughtful, and mature).

Help Bull Boys and Girls....

I hear bull boys like to take their time when getting to know someone. That is right up my alley as I am in no rush for a relationship. Don't mind taking my time. Thoughts comments?

Hmmm, anyone else?

Really Merc— No, to me, a date to get to know a person you are attracted to and might want to get to know on a more personal level, should initially be one on one, after the fact who cares...

I might want to share some things with him (since we have known eachother a couple years already) that I might not want to share with the other two. Not body parts either.

Sorry Merc. I misunderstood what you said about a date. Two people alone is correct. Exactly my thoughts.

LOL! LOL! @ Merc. You are insane man!!!
