A date

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 6:16 pm

Tommorow night, 7pm.

My God, its been so long since I've been on one of these. I'm literally cacking myself.

You'll be fine.

Just remember - no cuddling after, and don't expect me to call you in the morning.

So where did you find the lucky lass at?

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 7:54 pm

Met on Saturday. Drank, danced, laughed, and a bit more.

But this is more make or break I feel. Only got an hour and a half, no more, to make a lasting impression.

Why? Does she turn back into a pumpkin after that?

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 8:06 pm

We both have prior engagements.

Plus I turn back into Darkman.

Ah, so she's not important enough for you to cancel whatever you're doing to be able to spend more time with her, should she decide she wants to do so herself?

... sorry... just extrapolating all the ways it can go boom. It's a reflex.

It might just be the other way round.

She's helping a mate move house.

I don't know if boom is a euphemism for things going bad or intercourse, or both, but I think you've got a point. Emergency schedule flexibility is definitely a good thing.

On the other hand, leaving her wanting more ain't so bad either.

Thats the plan!

Though one must be careful not to take the notion to extremes.

Leaving as soon as you've said hello doesn't really qualify as having the desired effect...

Doesn't it? Damn it!!!

Good luck SFM!

What are you going to do? Dinner?

She's probably as nervous as you are.

Have fun!

Whatever you do, don't rub your beard against her face.
Apparently women don't like that.

Good luck!

Good luck, spidey!

Dude, if KingMob starts telling you that potatos are awesome to use on women, don't listen to him!

I'm hoping at some point she'll rub hers against mine....

I've crossed a line now haven't I?

Don't forget the flowers.

Women like the silly, overly-traditional types, they think it's sweet.

Post by **Best First** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 11:53 am

flowers on a first date?

no way - total overkill.

Anyway - good luck buddy.

i know what you mean about it being so long - i have ahd a fewnow but i am still abit sixes and sevens in terms of what the heck is appropriate and when.

Eline · Post by **Eline** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:07 pm

No flowers. Unless you meet at her house where she is going to cook you a dinner.

(It's a bit awkward to have a bunch of flowers when you are sitting in a restaurant or movie theatre)

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:13 pm

At the end of the date you should totally grab a random flower from somewhere and give it to her.
Hell, it worked on me

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:18 pm

I'm going dressed as Batman.

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:23 pm

"Hello. I'm spiderfrommars"

You should have said. You could have borrowed my costume.

Shanti418 · Post by **Shanti418** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:45 pm

What I do when I REALLY want a date to go well is go beforehand to some park, find a VERY good hiding place, and put some flowers there.

Then, I stage an "impromptu" walk in the park, where I just happen to find flowers to give to her. Works every time.

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:47 pm

Dude, what if every girl you ever dated comes here and reads it? They'll be crushed!

Post by **Best First** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 1:05 pm

unless they already have been.
