And she'd given up, kind of, once Riley left town. Buffy's tried- made an effort, really. In the beginning. But eventually she gave up because, really. Normalcy was kind of out of her reach.
"Um, thanks. You do too." true. Sam had...fixed his hair? Buffy suppressed a laugh at that.
Door-holding and everything. She takes a deep, deep breath and walks in, casual as anything like she's done this a million time. The waitress seats them at a booth with a window, which is nice.
"So um, here we are." Wow. Awkward. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Time to blow this thing right open.
"Okay, I guess I'm pretty rusty when it comes to this dating thing. So if I commit some sort of horrible transgression or something, feel free to tell me and cart me off to daters jail." there. Her old glib was back- maybe this would loosen up the atmosphere a little.

It's definitely crossed her mind how weird it is that her first normal date is in the City, of all things.
Look up the phrase 'worst track record ever' in a dictionary and you'll probably find her used as an example. Where does one even start? Well first there was Angel, who later ended up losing his soul and reverting back to his sociopathic ways. Then Parker, who just...never called her back. Then Riley, who left town- there really isn't any point in going on.
Buffy pushes back a sigh, shaking herself out of her thoughts before leaning forward a bit, a little more comfortable now. Hanging out. That was a good term for it. That way it didn't seem half as awkward.
"Thelma and Louise, by the way. And it's been...good, I guess." there was a pause for a moment- it's been a while since she actually had to think about what she was going to say. "I guess I overreacted a little bit, huh." she says, more than a little bit sheepishly. It's kind of embarrassing now, in retrospect.
Oh. Menus. Because they came here for food, right? Right.
"Do they have pie here?" she smiles a bit- it's probably going to become a running joke or something of the sort. Already has, actually. "Preferably half-burnt, because those are always the best."

He's nervous and talking too fast- and it's cute. It really is. Sam's so unlike any of the guys she's known, and it's kind of refreshing in a weird way.
"Um. That would be cherry. No matter what Dawn says about me having gross tastes because she's a taste-hog-slash-bigot." she leans forward, cupping her cheek in one hand, staring down at the menu.
"It's kind of funny how they can have modern food but no cars here. Guess they don't want us getting off so easily." She's still hanging on to the hope that things will get less awkward the more they talked. After all, it came so easily to them on the network and around Dean and Dawn, right? So they definitely had it in them.
"So um, about the whole 'crying' thing. Are you doing it?"
