I just realized that the final season of Downton Abbey starts tonight at 9!  The problem is that I set up a dinner date with a gentleman at 7 AND I don’t have DVR.  I feel like it may not be quite appropriate to ask a guy to move a date so I can watch a [spectacular] period soap opera.  The struggle is real.

HALP!

UPDATE:  I’ve decided to do nothing.  He changed the venue from a restaurant I think is ok to a good Irish pub…. He’s also 6’7″….

Thanks for the advice friends!

UPDATE UPDATE!  I mentioned being excited about the Downton premiere so he offered to move dinner earlier and he’s coming over to watch it with me.  In the words of the wise Lady Grantham: “All life is a series of problems which we must try and solve.”  Is Downton and chill a thing?
