Two Weeks, Two Dates
We went to see a movie...not my first choice, since it doesn't allow for much chatting, but I just wanted to see him and melt in his smile one more time. After the movie, he offered to walk me to my train...I was happy, since it gave us an opportunity to chat and find out some more about each other.
We got to the train and I didn't want our date to end. So I stood there...
"It's such a nice night..." I began. He agreed.
"Such a shame to be going home so early." (it was 10 o'clock) He agreed again, but made no move to prolong the date.
So we stood on the corner for 5 minutes talking randomly, then:
"Do you wanna get a cup of tea?" FINALLY. I was beginning to think I'd have to say something.
"I'd love to!" I responded a little to eagerly.
An hour later, I liked him more than I did at the beginning of the date. Sure, there were a couple of red flags...ok, yellow, but I didn't care. He walked me into my subway, waited with me until my train came, and made me promise to text him when I got home. I slept that night with a huge smile on my face and called him the next day to invite him out again.
Date #2
I was happy to take him to one of my secret haunts to see an underground show. He was late. That was a little annoying, but his smile made up for everything. Then he couldn't get money out of the ATM machine. He was really embarassed that he didn't have any cash with him and the place we were going to only accepted cash. I thought it was endearing. He offered to buy me dinner afterwards to make up for it.
It was another great date; he complimented me, there was some touching, more stories shared (I told him about my date with Starving Artist) and we discovered our mutual love of sushi. It was such a perfect date that I called out of work the next day just so no one would ruin it. LOL.
But I've decided that Date #3 should be his initiative, so I'm waiting for him to call and invite me out. But since I'm historically a two-date maximum kinda gal, my chances are looking pretty slim.
I'm rootin' for Smiley...

He sounds like a sweetheart. I bet there will be a Date #3 (crossing my fingers...)
Hey Now, How do we both get sorta lucky at the same time...I'll root for him too...
Good Luck!
Sounds like you had a great time. He sounds like such a keeper..
but why the 2 date max? Don't throw in the towel. If he calls and asks for a third date go and see.. you never know, and if he was feeling your vibe the way you were feeling his then this is definitely a match
positive thoughts +positive actions = positive reactions
shes a 2 date girl because after she takes him to one of her "secret underground haunts", she then drinks the last drop, instead of making the dude immortal like she promised on date 1. m-an-e-a-t-e-r
I really don't get this date counting thing that americans do. After date 3 then what? Just take it easy and put the calculator down.
lol
CP i thought of you too when i read this
lucky ppl
Alo Dear, please see my blog for a special award!
well at least you had fun which is almost too much to hope for on 2 consecutive dates
Shaddap, Owen! LOL. I should clarify; the 2-date max is the number of times I'll ask a dude out. After that he needs to take some initiative, or there's no hope of it going further.
I think it's only reasonable to expect him to do the asking after that point. I don't ever wanna be one of those chicks who are forcing a situation with a dude who's not interested. I spent too many years lying to women telling them my dad wasn't home to end up on the receiving end of that dilemma.
Who says being raised by your dad doesn't have its perks?
The date counting thing is crazy. Shy guys are the best. :-)
Oh I thought if you didn't have 2 perfect dates you would've written the guy off. You actually ask guys out? didn't really get that impression. wow, how ballsy of you. oh, it all makes sense now.
