Let's analyze my date

I wouldn't say you should "aim for" something by a certain date and if it doesn't happen, consider the whole thing a failure.
I assume you're responding to my post, but that's not what I said.


It is true, however, that I have in some cases moved too slowly, and failed to recognize and seize opportunities.
 
Well, it looks like we both found time to go out tomorrow night. She got back in town today, and I don't leave until Friday, so it looks like we're having a second date.
 
Yay!!!

Just relax. It's only a date. If things go well, you'll go out again. If things don't go well, you won't.

But let us know where you go and how it went.
 
I'm not too nervous. I picked the place we went to on the first date, so I'm letting her pick the venue this time around.
 
Just don't tell her you asked a Star Trek internet board to analyze your first date.

Meh, my username on the dating site was *********, so it's not like she didn't get any warning. :p

And now, Google will make it simple for her to find this thread if she is inclined to look.
I put a slightly altered version of my username for just that reason. ;)

My real username was just as nerdy, though.
 
Have fun on your date! It sounds like it's going just fine. Meeting anyone for the first time is awkward, dating isn't any different. As for how you know if you want to be a "couple" with someone...well, it happens gradually over time. When you start planning your weekends just assuming that the two of you will be together, or declining your friends' invitations to see a new movie because "oh I think she and I wanted to go see it together," or inviting her over to your apartment with no plans in particular but just because you want to be around her, chances are you're a couple. But don't get ahead of yourself yet, just enjoy her company, whether she becomes a friend, significant other, or someone you never see again. :)
 
Okay, so tonight's date got cancelled (mostly my fault). I have to go out of town tomorrow for a wedding, and I had/have a lot of stuff to do tonight before I leave. I didn't really think about how little time I actually had.

She was very understanding, and she actually said she was surprised I wanted to go out at all tonight because she knew I was leaving in the morning. That said, we are planning to do something next week when both of our schedules are a lot easier to work around. Our text conversations involved a lot of smiley faces and exclamation marks, so I think that's a good thing. :lol:
 
The whole experience was...meh.

You need to figure out whether it was meh because there was a lack of chemistry or because you were nervous and out of practice.

If there is no chemistry, there shouldn't be a future relationship.

If there is chemistry and you were just nervous, out of practice, etc, there is potential.

Either way, you need more dates to find out. Along the way, be sure to have fun and keep this question in mind!

Good luck!

Mr Awe
