A special announcement from meatwad.

[meatwad]

Burger boy got a date tommorrow. Oh yeah, go meatwad, it's your birfday, get down, wit ya bad self. That is all. We now return you to your regular scheduled BS.

[RayJ1977]

Do her.

Extra characters.

[Winter Storm]

Oh thank you so much for that mental break.

:rolleyes:

[RayJ1977]

No prob.

Stupid extra characters.

[J-girl]

yayy good luck. Where are you taking her? What are you doing?

[tina1979]

yay meatwad!!!

[spokes]

dude, which name can we cross off your list...........

[Brillo25]

Well done! I hope her hourly rate isn't too high. :D

Just kidding. Good luck.

[WeirdBrake]

Hey, meatwad! Keep it real, bro. Good luck on the date. :)

[meatwad]

yayy good luck. Where are you taking her? What are you doing?

There's a bar near work that has an outdoor deck and live music.

Do her.

That was my first thought, but this one ain't some waitress shoving her hand down my pants. We've been chatting back and forth and actually seem to be getting along. I might wait till the second date to drug her and toss her in the trunk.

[wordsmith]

Is this via your profile?

[shimmer728]

Congrats! :)

[meatwad]

Is this via your profile?

Yup. I tweaked it. :D

[Kitty]

Yay! Have fun. Let us know how it goes.

Burger boy got a date tommorrow.

Love the post! Here's a tip: don't refer to yourself as burger boy. and wait a couple dates to ask if she wants to see your "meatwad". :evil:

[RayJ1977]

Yes, yes. Do not offer to feed her a meatwad on date #1.

[Bugsey34]

Have fun Meatwad! Good luck!

[meatwad]

Too late. We were on Yahoo! Messenger last night. Apparantly I had her and her roommate rolling on the floor crying. Don't know how I could have managed to do that. ;)

She joked something about her roommate coming along on the date, and I said I'd let them both squeeze my meatwad. (http://i24.ebayimg.com/01/i/03/b8/6c/63_1_b.JPG)

[GetMeOuttaDC]

squeeze my meatwad. (http://i24.ebayimg.com/01/i/03/b8/6c/63_1_b.JPG)

Awww! He's so cute!

[meatwad]

Awww! He's so cute!

I've got all three. ;)

[meatwad]

Alas! I return!

Good time. First date in a loooooooooong time. Met at a bar and 'meat's principals of the first date' all remained in effect except for one.

1. Offer her the choice of venue - Ensures her an environment she's comfortable with.

2. Tell her you will meet her there - This way she has both an escape route from a poor showing from yours truly AND she doesn't have to worry about me...ahem...running out of gas on the ride home.

3. Kiss on the cheek goodnight if the date went well - (This is the one I chickened out on. :huge: )

Met at the bar around 8:30. I got there early so I started with a soda. She ordered a glass of wine (which was all she drank alcohol wise and I had a Cap n' Coke which was all I had alcohol wise) We got to know each other for a few hours and there were NO awkward silences after the first five minutes which was kick ass.

Then we got kicked out (Wednesday dates kind of suck when you have to work the next day), and I walked her to her car which was parked three spaces away from mine. Hugged her goodnight, (Puuuuuuuuuuussy! :madder: ) And told her I'd definitely call her again soon, which she seemed to think was a good idea (phone numbers rock).

Ladies and gentlemen, the dating slump is over. Life's about to get dangerous. :evil:

[RayJ1977]

Okay, that's great meat. But you have to up your game for date #2 and throw out "meat's date principles."

1. Have a plan. We're going here. Girls like to know you are decisive and fun that way.

2. Pick her up at home. Chivalry is a MUST now...you can't go NO CHIVALRY after date 1.

3. Kiss her damn it. Full on, go in, and kiss her. If she doesn't want to...you'll know it. But she'll think no less of you. Just don't force it...let it happen, and then go for it.

Ladies, do you agree????

[blueyes]

Isn't there some 90-10 type of rule for kissing? WTF movie was that in...

BTW, meat...congrats, I'm glad it went so well.

Yes. Esp #2. And you should plan to pay for date #2 and #3 as well. And bring flowers. Not a dozen roses or something, but a single rose or a small boquet is nice. And kiss her at the END of the date.

Awesome meatwad! :green:

[shimmer728]

Way to go, dude.

[meatwad]

For the record, I did pay. It hasn't been THAT long. :p

Second, those rules apply to the FIRST date. They go out the window for any subsequent dates (except three :D)

I was gonna bring flowers this time but I was thinking we'd just kind of get to know each other first. Flowers really seem like a second date thing to me. One of those, 'I've met you, now I'm going to show you what I think.'

I was thinking of calling her tommorow. I've got a wedding Saturday (not mine, although that would be funny in a sick horrible sort of way), so I thought of inviting her Sunday to minigolf and the new fancy pizzaria if it's nice or the local Resataraunt/Movie Theater (http://www.smittyscinema.com/) if it's raining. What do you think?

[J-girl]

ew ew ew ew no flowers.

[shannon08]

I really like the idea of meeting your date at the "venue"! I have never had a guy suggest that. Interesting! I agree with pick her up for the second date though. Good Luck and congrats :green:

[Tayl405]

Yeah, I agree on the no flowers. I tend to think they're too generic and show little thought (unless you know of her favorite flower). I don't think you need to bring her anything, but if she mentioned something specific that she liked that would be nice (favorite candy?).

[maxwell78]

Yeah, I don't think flowers are that great of an idea either. A little too hokey. Makes it look like you're tryin too hard.

And I may be a big p*ssy, but I never kiss a girl on a first date. Not even on the cheek. It's just too soon and feels too awkward to me. I just met this girl and I'm supposed to kiss her? Eh.

[Tayl405]

I think the kiss should just happen naturally. If both people are comfortable with it, it'll happen on its own. That could be on the first date or the fifth. I wouldn't think a guy was coming on too strong if he kissed me on the first date (if I liked him and it was obvious we clicked and had chemistry).

[maxwell78]

it was obvious we clicked and had chemistry
Yeah, but that is SUCH a moving bullseye. 9 times out of 10, I have NO idea whether she is "feeling it" or not on a first date. Or a fifth date for that matter. :lol:

[meatwad]

Thanks for agreeing to give me tons of conflicting advice. :D

Gonna skip bringing a 'present'. If she wants a present that bad she can unwrap me. :evil:

:huge: Isn't that the general theme of these boards? You gotta love it.

[meatwad]

It was weird. I thought I was going to be really nervouse about the whole think like I usually am, but I wasn't. And she said she wasn't either. The whole night just felt really comfortable. And not in a bad, 'nothing in common this person doesn't excite me' sort of way. There was definitely attraction and some excitement on my end. I just didn't feel like I was going to make an ass of myself. It was weird.

I just started and ended a paragraph with 'It was weird.' That was weird.

[Bugsey34]

Sounds like a good one, Meatwad. It's good that you felt comfortable, it means you guys click in the personality department. I think a flower is OK, I would think it was cute, but hey, don't want to give you any conflicting advice!

[meatwad]

My mind is like a laser.

[Tayl405]

It's completely a matter of opinion. You're the only one who knows the girl. Do you think she'd like a flower? I guess you can't go wrong either way - she'll think it's a nice gesture if you do it, and if you don't, she won't think anything.

[wordsmith]

Yeah, I sincerely doubt anybody would DISlike you over giving them a flower.

I'm running completely on instinct here, which in all honesty is a little rusty. My intuition is telling me not to do the whole gift/flower thing yet. Flowers seem like something you buy your girlfriend. As well as it went and as much as I like her so far, it's been one friggin date. We ain't dere yet.

[meatwad]

Jesus, I feel like I'm 16 again.

[Tayl405]

Jesus, I feel like I'm 16 again.

Haha...I get that way when I like someone. I have to get every one of my friends' opinions first. Cool, I know. :huge:

I kind of like it. :D

[meatwad]

Hey, I got a question. I went out with that girl on Wednesday. I sent her a quick e-mail about something we'd talked about on Thursday. I'd like to see her again on Sunday. How long should I wait to call her? Sunday morning seems a little late. I have a wedding Saturday at 4:00 and it's already 8:45 here today. What do you think ladies and gents?

[cheshrcarol]

Call her tomorrow early in the day. Calling the day of is definitely too late.

[meatwad]

Thanks Carol.

[Deadend]

Exactly. It's like you're preping according to a guide, like they go with the suit or something.

Flowers are a good idea much later in the relationship. Like the sort of thing you bring with you when your girlfriend thinks you're comming over just to do laundry or something. That's when flowers score you the big points; when they say "thoughtful" not "trying".

[meatwad]

We'll, it's been almost 24 hours since I called her and I haven't heard back from her. No voicemail, no e-mail, nothing. She gave me her cell number, so she must have got the message. Maybe it's nothing, but I'm kind of used to the girl at least calling me back within a few hours to tell me if she's not interested. :googly:

[shimmer728]

Hey, it hasn't even been a whole day. I wouldn't start freaking out yet. ;)

[meatwad]

Hey, it hasn't even been a whole day. I wouldn't start freaking out yet. ;)

But that's what I do! It's my thing! :D

[J-girl]

AWWWW meatwad- Fingers crossed for you. I hope she calls back :)

[wordsmith]

If it means anything, I am crappy about returning calls in a timely manner. It's nothing personal, I just have a very hectic life.

[meatwad]

Hopefully it's just because school is starting back up tommorow and she's a teacher. I'm just usually pretty good at reading people and I REALLY thought we hit it off well. I mean there were LITERALLY no points in the date where neither one of us had something to say. We knew what each other looked like before hand, and I had NO problems with her appearance AT ALL. :)

Should I call or e-mail her again if I don't hear from her in a few days or should I just assume she just isn't woman enough to let me know she isn't interested? This is literally the longest I haven't heard from a woman after a first date.

[WeirdBrake]

Hopefully it's just because school is starting back up tommorow and she's a teacher.

Wow, that is DEFINITELY a reason she may not call right away. She must be insanely busy and preoccupied. I'd still give her a few days. If you don't hear from her in a few days, don't even bother with an email. Just forget about her.

[wordsmith]

I would give it until the weekend after school has started. She'll probably be up for taking a breather at that point.

[meatwad]

Thanks Words + WB. I'm not even really bummed out if she doesn't want to go out again. I just don't like not knowing one way or the other.

[Tayl405]

I HATE waiting for a phone call. From anyone. I just think it's rude. Then again, I'm a bit hypocritical bc I can be bad about calling people back.

[meatwad]

OK, I am officially weak. I just sent her an e-mail wishing her good luck at work tommorow. Gentlemen of the board, you are offically authorized to begin chanting 'Douche!' at me.

[Tayl405]

Nah, that's nice. If she still doesn't call or respond, that's just rude.

[wordsmith]

There's nothing wrong with that.

[J-girl]

Meatwad- Sometimes when a guy calls I take a few days to return his call to show that I am not desparate. Maybe she is doing the same. And it's not game playing, it's just being cautious- no girl wants to let her guard down in this day and age when jerks are allowed to roam freely on the streets.

That being said- dont communicate with her anymore!

YEah, I know. I'm just out of practice. :D

[Bugsey34]

Aww Meat I am hoping she calls you back really soon. Sounds like she probably would be really swamped with the whole back to school thing, so give her some time, don't contact her again. If she doesn't call back she sucks!

[meatwad]

Is it good or bad when an e-mail replay starts with....

You're awesome! thank you!

Booyeah! Stick with the kid baby. I still got it. :cool:

[shimmer728]

I'd say that's definitely a good sign!

[tina1979]

I'm going with thats a good sign!!! Way to Go!!!

[J-girl]

Rock on girlfriend!

[wordsmith]

"You're awesome!" is never bad.

[meatwad]

Rock on girlfriend!

Uhhh...yeah.

[meatwad]

Ok, any doubts this girl was into me...COMPLETELY out the fucking window.

Date two was a success. Mini-golf and the bar turned into Mini-golf and her place for a movie. While I'm not the type of guy who will go into details, I will say that clothes stayed on and there was a goodnight kiss that lasted quite a bit longer than I expected.

Meatcrest, out!

[hoodie]

Congrats meatwad! Have fun with this, its a really cool place to be. ;):

[J-girl]

You GO Girl!!!!

[meatwad]

You GO Girl!!!!

Mmmmmhmmmm that's right girlfriend.
