BlueHarvest Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 So on Halloween I ended up hanging out with this girl I just met the day before. I knew her from high school and hadn't seen her in 6 years. She seemed really eager. She said for me to take my time after I got off work so I did, went home, relaxed, got a shower. She called while I was in the shower. And then proceeded to RE-give me the directions she had already given me a couple hours earlier. So I found her place (she's living with her parents, as am I). Ended up hanging out there with her, her sister, and her sister's friend. Night went really well, we talked bout all we had done since high school. Told funny college stories, etc etc. Around 11:20 I said I had to go cause I had to get up at 7 the next morning for work. (Plus I was starting to yawn which is rude so I thought I should leave anyways.) At the front door she said "we'll have to hang out again without the wierdos" (referring to her sister and her sister's friend). I thanked her for inviting me over and said I had a fun night and left. Last night around 7:00ish I was in the same area shopping center where she worked picking up a gift for my grandmother. Went into the place where she worked and was just browsing stuff. I was going to go see her and say hi but 1) I thought that might be a little wierd (despite the fact that I met her here). 2) She was busy with alot of customers it looked like (had a line of people). So I just kinda left. About an hour and a half later I called her up on her cell phone and got her voice mail. Left a message saying something along the lines of "Hey just wanted to thank you again for inviting me over, I had a really great time. Your sister was (hesistated for a slight second) nice. And <sister's friend> was.....well he was interesting...quite interesting <slight laughter>. Anyways I am probably going to be hanging out with some friends tommorow that I promised to see this weekend, but I should be free Wednesday or Thursday if you want to do something. Talk to you later, bye". Now I kind of half-expected her to call back when she got off work. But she didn't. And now I don't know if maybe she just got busy etc etc. Or I wonder if my message may have offended her. She is really cute and really nice. I did have a good time. Would be a shame to not really see this go anywhere past the first "date". Just hope my voicemail didn't seem wierd, creepy, or offensive. Thoughts?
BikerBeagle Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 None of that sounds weird, creepy, or offensive to me. You might want to just give her a little time to respond. If she doesn't ...*shrug* ...I'd probably just write it off.
Author BlueHarvest Posted November 2, 2008 Author Posted November 2, 2008 Thanks. I didn't think it sounded bad either...but ya never know.
Author BlueHarvest Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 Nevermind now! She called back. We chatted on the phone about stuff for about 20-30 minutes then I made a move and organized plans for tomorrow After I get off work I'm gonna pick her up and we are gonna go for a walk on the beach and grab a bite to eat . I'm a bit nervous about what we'll talk about while walking but I guess I should let things go with the flow... (But don't let that stop ya'll from giving me advice! )
Owl Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Doesn't sound to me like you need any advice here, friend. Take your time, and just focus on enjoying your time together for now.
PrincessPeach Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Ooooh. I want an update on how it went. It sounds like a romantic evening. I hope you kissed her!
Author BlueHarvest Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 I'll give an update after it happens. Hasn't happened yet. Do you think I should go in for a kiss though? I was thinking about postponing the beach walk cause the weather is rather nasty out right now. Shame yes, but it's not really romantic beach walking weather. Trying to figure out what to do instead.
Cub Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Kudos! Sounds like you have an interesting evening ahead of you. Remember to stay aloof, avoid the more personal issues (exes, death, embarrassing secrets), and, above all, have fun!
Author BlueHarvest Posted November 4, 2008 Author Posted November 4, 2008 Well...Update! The date went fine IMO. I picked her up (incidentally I also met her parents). She greeted me with a hug. We decided that maybe tonight wouldn't be the best night on the beach. It was kind of dark and rainy. So we went to dinner and a movie. Nothing fancy. Just went to this little burger joint then went to go see "The Duchess". We talked for an hour before the movie, chatting about various stuff. Saw the movie. Then when we got back to her house we went inside and I looked at some of her art and she copied my CD I was playing in the car (cause she liked it alot.) I excused myself for the evening and she walked out with me back to my car. I gave her a hug good-night. Instead of the kiss. I didn't feel the 2nd date was right in this case. Though next date I'm definitely going in for the kiss. I think...

Author BlueHarvest Posted November 4, 2008 Author Posted November 4, 2008 Nope didn't kiss her. Next date. I didn't feel the time was right. I wanted to gauge her reaction. The fact she followed me out to the car confirms that she wanted something. And she didn't shy away from the hug at all. So next date!
Author BlueHarvest Posted November 5, 2008 Author Posted November 5, 2008 Was thinking about her and stopped by her work. Brought her a cookie and a flower. We ended up kissing.... :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
