Operation Movie and Vino - Success!Category: relationships
Yes, I am tired as hell but I would like to report that everything went over smoothly. The movie (Superman Returns) was okay, if not a bit too long, and we got along just fine. Other than offering some really corny commentary on occasion, I was perfectly well behaved.
The thing is, when I kissed her she went feint and had to sit down. I shit you not! She said nothing like that had ever happened to her before. For a moment I thought the Pinot Noir was a bit heavy on my breath, but then I realized that yes I am that sweet.
Her friends seemed to be worried for her, as they called her at least three times during the movie, which annoyed the fucking shit out of me. They seemed suspicious, and when I heard that I took it very personally, because I'm not a shady guy. She just ignores them. This morning it occurred to me that it had nothing to do with me personally, that no matter who the guy was her friends would act the same way. It gave me some insight into how tight they really are.
She said she had a great time, and that we're definitely cooking together soon. Cool! So far, so good.

Thanks For The HelpCategory: potpourri
Yes, indeed I was a victim of uncontrolled thinking (ZING) and worried needlessly. It's tough sometimes when someone is difficult to read, and opens up slowly, carefully, with a certain degree of caution. I suppose it's the smart thing to do though.
I proposed that for our first "date" we find a recipe and make dinner together at my place. I get the food, she gets the vino, and we both get plenty of laughs over some food innuendo and awful cooking by yours truly, if any of you remember my terrible cooking ability. Good thing she's Italian and knows how to cook!
But OHHHH a wrinkle in the plot formed when she learned she had to work late both today and tomorrow, so my brilliant idea got pushed to the side for now. She definitely wants to do the cooking together thing sometime, but she said she wants to see me again before the weekend so tonight we're just gonna chill and watch a movie together.
I don't care if it's just a movie and two people on the sofa! I think it's going to be great, and I may even be rewarded for my gentlemanly behavior if I'm lucky!

Movie on the couch sounds like a fun time. I just hope you both like the same kinds of movies.

Dude I'm so with you on all fronts. Too easy to overthink/overanalyze/freak out, esp in the beginning. I do my best to resist the urge, but often fail. And I love the cooking date idea. And a movie on the couch is one of my faves too. I mean the point is to spend time together, so who needs all sorts of fancy/expensive stuff? Go J.

FrustratedCategory: potpourri
She's one of those people you just can't read. I don't even know for sure if she really digs me - it's just her friends that told me. After seeing her last night I just have no idea and I'm a little frustrated. Give me something, ANYTHING to let me know what's up.
Maybe I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

you should ask her what she's thinking, if she gives you a positive response, you're in the clear. If she hasn't thought about it in your terms she'll probably be flattered that you have. good luck.

You know what this really is? I've thought about it, and it's my insecurity for sure because I haven't dated in so long and I'm out of sorts.

Lets look at it another way: why does it matter if she digs you or not?
Just go out and have fun with her. If you are a fun guy and an enjoyable company, she will automatically pull out the shovel. If she doesn't start diggin' you then, heck, at least you had fun! :-D
Too much worryin', too little lovin' ...

Maybe SHE has no idea what she wants....best not to put too much into the idea emotionally if you think it might not go anywhere. Just chill back, leave the door open and see what happens. Hard feelings can ruin an unsure thing before it's even started. No reason for frustration.....
remember, we're all just people trying to figure out what the fuck is going on around us and how we fit in, cut her a little slack.

I have dated women like that. I actually just am pretty blunt. I usually say something like, hey I am just curious. You are pretty hard to read and just making sure you dig me and are having fun. I have had good luck with this. The worst thing you can do is waste your time with someone who isn't really into you so being up front is a good idea.

I wonder if maybe she had an off night? I think usually if someone has no interest in another person, they won't hangout with them- they'll think of some excuse to get out of it. So maybe the fact that she still spent time with you is still a good sign.

Aww youre going to have a snuggle partner this winter. yea!
awwww... dating is fun again!
Well done, sir, well done
That's awesome dude. Don't take the thing with her friends calling you personally. That is what women do. It was your first date and women are protective of each other, it is actually pretty understandable. I would only start to get bothered by it if it continues during your next dates. Good luck.....
