awkward date

[TheWriter1]

hey guys,

 

i had an awkward date last night, me and the girl were best friends in 8th and 9th grade and recently agreed to hang out together.

 

We saw a movie and most of the time, if something funny would come up, she would turn towards me and be laughing and i'd look back and laugh and it was cool yeah.

 

I didn't try to hold her hand or anything lame like that because it was the first try, i dont even know if she feels the same about me as i do her, so i just settled for sitting really close to her on occasion, then sitting far away from her lol. One time she even noticed and said something like you would move away from me, or something im not too sure.

 

after the movie she said she didn't want to go home which i suppose is good, heres where it got awkward though...

 

for one of the ONLY times in my dating life, i had so much trouble making conversation. Like we talked, but it was useless small talk, i could make her laugh but she seemed to laugh easily, its just part of who she is. There were those god awful awkward silences, throw into it the fact that i don't think i was looking too good that night and yeah...not cool...

 

anyway i just came home and went to sleep like whatever i need to forget this ever happened lol

 

wake up, theres a text at around 115, just sayin, "hey i got home alive wooo! i had to turn around three times because i wasn't paying attention to signs haha"

 

i was disappointed but hey at least its something...

 

what you think? Try again sometime? or lick the wounds and move on

Oh yeah , ask her out again. she 'didnt want to go home' and then 'got lost' because she wasnt paying attention to signs! I think she may like you! Also, you not knowing what to say, I think you may like her too!

 

Let things happen as they will but dont give up yet.

Seems to me she had a better evening with you than you think. If she was turned off she would not have texted you at all. I think you should ask her out again - things may be more relaxed next time - especially if you don't worry about stuff too much and just concentrate on enjoying a good time.

Obviously you were going to be nervous.

 

I mean, first dates are surprisingly easier for small talk if you don't know the person. Here you've got all this history...what are you suposed to do? Talk about the 8th grade?

 

Why don't you try something cute on the next date. Take her out to a picnic (if it's nice out) and show her how you normally woo girls on second dates. Show her all your "moves"...in a non-aggresive way ofcourse. But take some of the edge off...maybe even (if she has a sense of humour) start asking her questions as if she were a stranger...you might actually learn a thing or two!

 

Basically, I think she is into you. She was probably just as nervous as you were. And the text message when she got home...it's about as obvious as you can get without blurting out she likes you.
