Trying to read first date

[mmmd]

So I met a girl off okcupid last night and I'm trying to decipher it. First dates off internet sites are always a bit awkward, so there's that built into it initially.

 

I don't like rationalizing things, but she was a bit awkward, which may explain a little.

 

Anyhow, the pertinent details are basically the date didn't feel like it was going awesomely, and her body language wasn't great.

 

At the end when we parted, in a funny inversion of gender roles, she told me how she had fun, we should do it again, then we went to embrace and she gave me a quick peck on the lips.

 

Trying to reconcile the not great body language during the date with the peck at the end.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Wondering if she meant to give me a kiss on the cheek instead and I turned my head slightly into it. ha

First meetings like that can be very awkward. I wouldn't read too much into her body language. I've been on many blind dates and I definitely don't say "we should do this again" if I don't want the guy to follow up with me.

thanks for your input!

 

i'll ask her out again in a couple days. second dates are usually much more indicative. i'll go for a real kiss at some point, see how she handles it.

Contact her and just start some random conversation with her (as though you are comfortable with her) and see how she responds.

we briefly texted some today.

 

clearly she doesn't hate me, i'm just wondering if she's into me as a guy she wants to date so i can save my time/money.

Definitely go out one more time if she's up for it. In the online realm, a first date is really more like a pre-date. Now that the first meeting awkwardness is over, you should be able to get a better sense of who she is and whether you guys are compatible.

[mmmd]

yea, true.

 

i mean, she did give me a peck on the lips. which is a weird move, to instigate that.

 

girls be trippin'

Yup, it's worth a second date. She gave you the kiss on the first date, and even mentioned a second date. The next time should be more comfortable as well.

[mmmd]

yea, that all makes sense. i usually/always overthink * * * * .
