First date

So I had a first date with this girl yesterday, I'm fairly sure she like me, but I need some help. Anyway here's the story.

First off let me tell you about her. She is kind of like me. We both love anime, manga, comics, games, she's tech savy...basically a geek. Most of the talking we did was mostly about anime, but it ranged from anime, comics, what she was currently doing, work, college, etc. For personal reasons she temporarily dropped out of college and moved back in with her parents.

Well it started out kinda bad. I have never been to her neighborhood and even though I left about 10 minutes early I wound up getting lost and was about 30-35 minutes late. Instead of going to a, at least somewhat, nice place we just stopped by Panda Express (her choice). While eating we talk about Dragon Ball Z (her favorite anime) and have a nice chatting, barely stopping talking to each other to take a few bites.

She realizes it's almost time for the movie (again her idea, dinner and a movie). We went to see Megamind, in 3d of course. We spoke a little bit during the movie but mostly we're entranced by the movie. After the movie we talked for a few minutes about the movie.

On the way to drop her off we talked about a myriad of things, when we arrived outside her place we both went silent for 5-10 seconds, then she said "You can come in if you want." Which, of course, I took as a good sign. Her parents were in bed, she introduced us then we went to her room telling her parents we were gonna go kill some zombies (resident evil 4/5). Being a geek we talked about the anime she had, her sword collection, comics, a long discussion about Batman (she educated me into the entire Batman series).

The dinner took we were out about 5 hours. Left at 6:40, started the movie at 7:15, got back to her place 9:30ish, and by the time I left her place about 11:30. She did close her door while I was there, but at that time she had her computer on (showing me some funny shows she had on it) so it was most likely closed because of the noise. At dinner we were on opposite sides of the table, at the movie we were side by side, at her place we sat on the floor and with her facing her computer screen or grabbing some of her stuff to show it off it was hard to get close to her.

The reason why I'm posting this is because I couldn't really tell what she was thinking. The entire time I never really saw a good opportunity to try to kiss her, but then again she is quite unique. While leaving I forgot my coat, she pointed it out and I jokingly said something along the lines of it'd give me an excuse to come back. She laughed and said something like "ya, maybe next time we can actually kill some zombies like I planned" with a smile.

I plan on calling her tomorrow to try for a second date but I'm not sure what's going to happen. A good chance may have happened the first time and I just missed it on the first date for a kiss but I really don't want that happen again I like her.

I know you all weren't there and can only give limited thoughts which is why I put as much detail as I could but any ideas would sure come in handy.

dude, f'real?

She's OBVIOUSLY into you. Plan something, call her, kiss her. Good luck!

You need to be VERY careful of falling into the friend zone on this one. Make your BEST efforts to steer all these similarities into a romantic atmosphere..say stuff like "OMG we are sooo alike" "Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?".

Compliment her, make her GLOW..THEN kiss her.

A few miss-steps here and she's going to want you as her best friend rather than boyfriend. Being so similar can bite you in the ass.

You MUST kiss her next time...2 times.

Yeah I get along with my friends too if we talk about anime all day long.

So what else do you have in common? One hobby/ interest is good, but if you plan on dating her long term you're going to have to have to find other things of interest the two of you share.

So what else do you have in common?

Well theres anime, manga, comics, games, computers, our hate for Justin Beiber, music (didn't discuss it very much but our taste in music is quite close), sense of humor is quite similar (while at her place she showed off some hilarious pictures she had saved), our taste for movies/TV shows (Avatar, Burn Notice, Chuck, Supernatural, Smallville, Megamind, we talked about tons of different movies/shows). Being pretty much total geeks thats the majority of our interests.

I dunno if this is weird or not but I find it appealing that she knows how to fix a computer, hardware, wiping it clean, etc.

By the way, something I left out my previous post. We did run into an old friend of hers at the theater, she introduced me, the talked for 20-30 seconds before he asked what she was up to which she replied we were on a date. After 5-10 seconds she said bye and we left.

I agree with Confused -- the initial indications are EXCELLENT. She clearly wants to see you again.

Next date, I suggest you do something fun. Not a movie -- that's too passive. An activity -- karaoke, e.g.? Or something a bit competitive -- bowling? Shooting pool in a bar?

And, I agree -- you need to kiss her on the next date. When the two of you take a break to grab a drink, be sure to sit on perpendicular sides of the table (not opposite). Lean in, so that you're in her personal space a little bit. Betcha an opportunity will present itself.

Yup, you're right, I just got off the phone with her a few minutes ago and it's set. Not much to do here but we gonna hit the bowling alley this weekend. Both of us suck horrible so it'll be a good laugh.

duh

but honestly - KISS HER!
