date fail...
Let's review!
Skating: Met me with a guy from her class that she was supposedly studying with. Personally, I think he was just trying to hit on her. She said her hands were cold so I lent her my newly acquired gloves. Skated all of two rotations on the oval before her ankles hurt.
Bought her french fries because she said she was hungry (this should have been my yellow flag). I said she could buy us ice cream after. She agreed. She then didn't feel like ice cream anymore so we got coffee instead (at ice cream place). She spent the next 20 minutes texting and avoiding conversation (red flag). She was going to walk out (forgetting she was going to buy at least the less expensive than ice cream, coffee), so I bought our coffees.
Walked her to the bus, where she promptly ran on while not giving my gloves back.
Laser tag: Very fun first date. Led to a few others. We held hands, and a couple kisses were exchanged. Then, she decided she wasn't interested. I respect that, but... if you weren't that interested, why hold hands, kiss, and do cutesy date things?
Beer: Much less invested this time around. Nice enough girl, but all about kink. I can understand it in the bedroom, but over drinks on a first meeting? It was a little much. Not to mention the fact that there wasn't really any physical chemistry.
Coffee: Went well enough, though some self-esteem issues obviously present. While it seems she likes me, absolutely dislikes kissing. I don't know about any of you, but... if I want to pursue a relationship with someone, I don't think it's unreasonable to want to kiss them.
At least I don't get stood up constantly anymore! Hopefully I haven't just jinxed myself. :P
