Haha... well my mistake about this place tonight. I've only been there once. It's really a bar. It's Thirsty Thursday so this place gets pretty packed with no room to sit around. I'm bound to run into some friends, and possibly meeting with others. Keep you guys posted.
BTW, although she tells me she likes texting with me we really don't text all that much. Maybe once or twice especially once I figured her responses can take awhile or she doesn't respond. Last night at the table she actually checked the MMS I sent her. O_o

Shook hands with a random dude speaking gibberish. A few minutes later several bouncers kicked him out. I'm on my 3rd beer. Getting sleepy. Earlier she said she was sleepy so no guarantee. My friends with left to another bar or went to hookah bar.
No surprise. I'm out of the house chilling at least Haha.

Did you get to talk to her at least? ...like an actual conversation? Also, try not to text. I know it's the norm these days, but it's lazy and you make up all these crazy scenarios in your head when she doesn't text you back. Just call her (but not right after a date, lol). It's instant feedback.

She ended up staying home to sleep (works 7 days a week). So far it's just texts since her phone is messed up after getting the screen replaced. She has to get on speaker phone to chat. Coincidentally, I end up learning how to pace myself with texts.
To be honest, she's just like any typical girl I've met. The difference is hanging out versus having a date. I've hung out with several girls the past few months, and it was easy breezy without expectations. With this one, as part of my 2014 resolution, I decided to put in some effort. Funny thought. We talked about the day we first met when my dad introduced us at her work place. She was making coffee for us. When she rang us up I gave her a $20, but she punched in $10. We both had a brain fart when she tried to recalculate the change. The more she asked, the more I forgot how to do simple math (a disgrace to engineers). We chuckled. Anyhow, my nerves are finally getting calm after the 1st date. So from here on out I'll pace myself and keep a mental note of all your advices. Thanks again, and I'll keep you all posted. Wish we can all get together and I'd buy you all pitchers of beer.

Hey, I actually enjoyed watching frozen with my date...and she really liked it too lol.
Then again, I also fall into the classic thinking of 'no movies for first dates'. I think it's weird, if you're going out for the first time shouldn't you...you know, TALK a lot?

I'm not saying Frozen isn't a great movie, just that it might not be the best conversation fodder for two people who don't know each other yet.
Why does a first date have to be ALL talking? Why can't there be both talking and entertainment? First dates are about getting to know each other, but that can happen whether you're talking or not. Do you laugh at the same lines? Does she cry way too easily, or text during the movie? Does he leave his trash on the floor? Etc. It's not that you're studying the other person or critiquing them the whole time or anything, it's just that little things like that can tell you just as much about someone -- and your level of compatibility with them -- as their words. I'm clearly in the minority here, but I think a movie + dinner/coffee/drinks (movie first!) is a perfectly good first date. I also think that a show + dinner/coffee/drinks is a great first date, and you aren't talking during those, either. Last edited by Misnomer; 01-10-2014 at 12:33 PM. |

A) A date with a guy who picks you up at your place, reserved a nice restaurant for dinner, bought tickets to a play/musical/art exhibit/whatever followed by drinks or coffee. Ends it with a walk or quiet place where you both get to talk to one another. B) A date with a guy who says...... " I dunno, where do you wanna go for dinner?" " I dunno, where do you wanna go after?" " I dunno, where do you wanna go now?" Going to the movies, dinner and then having you decide where to go next isn't exactly a memorable romantic date for most women. I dunno, maybe I'm setting the standard too high, but I guess I'm a romantic at heart. If I really like someone, I'm gonna make an effort and that includes a good first impression. Quote:

Is there such a thing as an overplanned date? I typically waffle on setting things up, like I would have a dinner place set up but then figure out the rest spontaneously (although I have some options in mind). Hence yesterday we ate then just randomly watched a movie because it was right there and she wanted to watch something.
I only noticed there was a basketball game that looked interesting later this month so I'm basically planning a day out piece by piece...but is that overkill?

Seriously, though, I'm sorry if you were offended by being asked how old your girlfriends have been. It seemed germane to our discussion. If you'd rather just end this part of the conversation, that's cool with me. I'd say yes, but also that what you're talking about doesn't qualify. I'd say that "overplanned" would be a date that includes more than two elements: dinner and a movie, drinks and a ballgame, etc. Not that you need two or can't do more than two things, but if you've already planned two parts the rest of it (if there is a "rest of it") should be spontaneous. Keep in mind, too, that there's a difference between a first/early date and a date with someone you've been seeing for a while, who might not care if you plan out an entire day. |
